If MAHA truly wanted to tackle the chronic illness epidemic, they would provide the following:

Free respirators, Covid/flu tests and vaccines

Clean air in public spaces

Paid time off/sick leave

paid childcare

Mandatory masking in healthcare

Universal healthcare

Universal basic income

They don’t want to end the chronic illness epidemic, they want the chronically ill to disappear. There’s a big difference.

It’s eugenics on full display, and people are buying it because of their own internalized ableism.

They need to believe chronic illness can’t happen to them. That if they do the “right things” they will be fine.

Everyone is only temporarily abled. Help us fight for better social supports, healthcare and inclusion. It benefits everyone.

The man in charge of HHS used the R slur in an FDA meeting where he derided children with disabilities as well as people with autism.

This is the man in charge of health and human services for the entire United States.

RFK Jr is a snake oil salesman and a eugenicist. He speaks of disabled people as though they don’t deserve to live, and I truly believe that’s what he thinks of us.

He’s not going to cure autism (it’s not something that needs to be cured). He’s not going to cure the chronic disease epidemic.

He’s going to disappear us. Whether in ‘wellness camps’ or by making it impossible to access the treatments and supports we need to survive.

This article is deeply distressing:

With reports that Canadians critical of Trump online being detained in the US or denied entry, I want to say fuck the NSA, fuck Trump, and fuck the American government. This is a list I am proud to be on. I don't want to visit such a shithole anyways.

Continued thread

'Let’s not forget that Canada is under economic attack (and threat of annexation) from the United States right now. So this is definitely not the time to be entering into renegotiation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA) of 2020. Yet, both leaders of the federal Liberal Party and the Conservative Party are promising to do so'

The MAHA movement claims to want to “make America healthy again”… and RFK Jr says he will end the chronic disease epidemic.

Yet we’ve seen no plans to improve the health or life of the chronically ill, and many plans that will end our lives faster.

Anti vaccine sentiment. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Mask bans. Increase in the use of the R slur and various ableist attitudes.

Today Trump announced a tariff on pharmaceuticals, which will devastate the disability community.

We already live below the poverty line, often on a fixed income that barely covers the essentials. We can’t withstand economic uncertainty and supply chain disruptions as well as our non disabled peers.

This is another step in escalating eugenics. The Nazis targeted disabled people too… because they knew no one would stand up for us.

Please fight for us. Wear a mask. Call your elected officials. Reach out a hand in support.

Don’t leave anyone behind.
