Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

more than 1 in 4 US adults is disabled. add to that everyone whose life is shaped by illness, care & the capitalist healthcare system. that's an enormous potential base for working-class politics, ample ground to build a powerful left. we should probably do something with that

We need gun control yesterday, but also, school emergency plans often don't include the needs of disabled people. Even for things like fire drills, what is planned is unacceptable.

No grocery receipts list the item as basic as “bread” or “coffee”. It would show the brand name. Although I remember when bananas were .15 a pound and bread was .29. I’m old.

Let me very clear on this. If you were a hyper functional, type A person bc you had family you couldn't depend on, if you become disabled they will not magically become dependable or help out. Ask me how I know. 🤪 #longcovid #mecfs
