I want this so much AND it’s such a clear case of the weird ableism that emphasizes age over need. If two people need the same care, let’s get them that care.
“Kim said those experiences have strengthened his determination to address gaps in the nation's caregiving system…
The senator is advocating for legislation he calls "Medicare at Home," which would expand in-home services for older adults who need additional care and support.”

THIS. And remember eugenics are ableism and racism wrapped in a medicalized name to lend itself credibility. They will always try to use science to dehumanize us.
For RFK jr and his ilk, measles is a ‘culling’ technique, one designed to eradicate the ‘weak’ and ‘strengthen’ the already ‘strong’.
Our squeamishness about naming things, ideas and people as eugenicist is partly why we are here.

It’s official: Measles is no longer a disease that is eliminated in the US. I can’t emphasize enough how catastrophic a failure this is when a vaccine that is 97% effective exists.

The MCU is absolutely riddled with ableism and continually removes prosthetic limbs from characters who have them as a "joke".

People were so eager to get back to their lives that they undid all the progress.
They started to blame disabled people for “lockdowns” and mitigations.
The R slur made a comeback.
We are now further behind than we were before the pandemic began.
Ableism is a hell of a drug.

It's ableism no matter how much the rentiers screech it isn't. Sorry, the entire framework behind "you could do X too if you weren't Lazy" is ableism to its core

Lateral ableism can be just as damaging, if not more so, than ableism that comes from non-disabled individuals.
Lateral ableism is a betrayal of one’s own community and, at the end of the day, of one’s own self.

Why are Labour cutting disability benefits for younger and older people?
do they think younger and older people cannot be disabled, or that disability stops at a certain age?
This is blatant ageism and ableism.

Queer oppression is fairly unique in that it is treated as "rectifiable" by patriarchal society, closer to ableism than racism in that sense. And we haven't fully been able to articulate how that shapes the violence we experience at various stages of our lives.

I don't remember that - but it reminds me of "making chili for your neighbours is ableism" discourse.

and ableism, too. white abled leftists' favorite thing is deprioritizing ableism, istg.
it's hardly "center-right individualism" to advocate for your peers when far too many white leftists deprioritize things like racism and queerphobia

Oh no. There are specifically leftist forms of ableism that we have to combat constantly on top of the general ableism that exists everywhere.
