#Disablement
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

mass disablement? what?

It will never cease to amaze me that wearing a mask was a deal breaker for many people.

It’s a powerful public health tool. It’s one of the most effective ways to avoid mass disablement. It keeps you & your community healthy. It shows you prioritize self care, disability justice & bodily autonomy.

Covid and ICE violence aren't unrelated. They let disease run rampant in their detention centers. It is creating mass disablement and death among them, including with covid.

This is literally what the slogan "nothing about us without us" originated out of in the disabled people's movement and I think trans rights organising can sometimes miss our connections to the social harms of medical authority and disablement.

His day job was as an Assistant Disablement Resettlement Officer.
He helped people with special needs find work. 🎄

Disability justice and climate justice are intersectional. Climate change creates more pandemics, which creates mass disability. Our world truly isn't prepared for the amount of disablement that's going to occur if we don't act now and care for our most vulnerable. The system is designed to fail.

If you think Chinese cars are a risk for spying and mass disablement I have some bad news for you about cars in America
I'm all for free trade, but I also recognize that Chinese cars are a risk for spying and mass disablement.

The people you see masking are the ones who:

* care
* are paying attention
* know there’s a better way

We understand what’s happening and we reject it

Masking is an act of compassionate defiance

"RFK Jr.’s insertion as secretary of HHS is a direct rebuke to her legacy. Heumann contracted polio in 1949 when she was one and a half years old. The intentional spread of mass disablement and death by discouraging vaccination and medical research would have absolutely horrified her."
“On Thursday, Mr. Gorton said that “the success of the polio vaccine was a massive medical fraud” and that widespread vaccination was a “public health disaster.” He received a standing ovation…

Mr. Kennedy spoke next, linking arms with the group even as measles cases continue to rise”
RFK Jr. Assures Vaccine Skeptics They Have a ‘Friend at the White House’
The health secretary spoke at a conference featuring misinformation about vaccines, including a claim that the success of the polio vaccines was a “fraud.”

With budgetary attacks on Medicaid underway, it’s a good time to revisit Marta Russell’s money model of disability—a Marxist theory of disablement that explains how even the most neglected care systems become profitable under capitalism.

I wrote about it in 2021 on Blind Archive

Btw I *do* think autistic disablement can impact social understanding in ways that means well meant behavior can come across badly, or even as creepy. It's important to recognise that. But this is a whole different issue!

Still thinking about this! I have many longform thoughts on the way the state marks some bodies for impairment (if you haven’t read The Right to Maim, it’s a fantastic book on this politicized disablement).
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

The economic success was based on forcing workers back to work with zero covid safety precautions in place and led to mass disablement and death. But yeah. Good job - me a lefty.
What he's right about: Obama's crew made errors in designing economic recovery that yielded grinding years of high unemployment. The left yelled at him for it. So Biden's crew *corrected those errors* & emphasized full employment. It worked! And the left gave him zero credit for it.

Excellent that the Ruzzian refinery disablement has been estimated to be 24%
💥 Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries in August 2025 have reduced Russian oil refining capacity by 24.2%. 😳

A few PSAs:

The covid pandemic is ongoing.

The mass disablement is ongoing.

We cannot trust US public health.

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional.

Wellness is just repackaged “purity” obsession, the inevitable conclusion of which is eugenics and fascism.

the dems have overseen over 1 million deaths by covid. death and disablement by covid is a bipartisan policy, bc the US is a settler colonial state and has always used disease as a tool of genocide.
According to the CDC, only 15.3% of health care workers received COVID-19 boosters in 2023-2024 respiratory virus season.

This is a testament to the success of right-wing dark money groups, right-wing media, and GOP politicians in politicizing the pandemic.

It’s absolutely shameful.

If anti-vaxxers can lie about whatever the fuck they want to NOT get vaccinated, then I fully support people lying in order to receive them.

There is no moral high road to take here. People who need them not receiving vaccines just means more mass death and disablement.
I will (and already have) block anyone who has the fucking nerve to come here and tell me we shouldn’t lie to get our Covid boosters. Yes we fucking should. Denying us access is not based on science it’s based on eugenics and ableism. Fuck that and fuck them and fuck you if you go along with it.
