Sex workers are comrades.
Trans workers are comrades.
Poor disabled people are comrades, whether they can work or not.

“Why do people hate AI?”
People don’t hate AI as a technology. They hate this version of it. They hate the blatantly exploitative setup where tech companies control everything and we have to beg to live in our own world. Where the only jobs we get are whatever ones big tech leaves us. Where whatever work we create sits on their servers. Where they claim the right to copy not just our output but the essence of the unique life experiences that produced it, which they can then package, and sell, leaving us with nothing.
Not just nothing. Less than nothing. They intend to sell us back our own creativity, filtered through brand-safe guardrails, all for a monthly subscription.
They want to lead us quietly by the nose into a world where all thought, writing, science, and art flows through them.
People hate AI because people aren’t stupid. They can see exactly what big tech is doing.

Unpopular opinion that might ruffle feathers: parental ‘sacrifice’ is a myth. A child’s wellbeing is a parent’s responsibility, not a favour. Any sacrifice is yours to bear, not theirs to repay. Raise them fully cognizant of your challenges but know that it’s duty, not charity.
What’s really wild is how existing billionaires get taxed less than most hourly workers.

I’ve long thought that the whole MSG thing of the 90s ish was a ploy to distract people from actually harmful food additives. Obviously US society being racist helped spread it.
Reminder that the FDA classifies MSG under the same safety category as table salt and the 80s panic over it was purely motivated by the belief Chinese restaurants were serving poisoned food.

This, but with the exception of infertile women. They don’t care about developing the healthcare needed to let all infertile women who want a child to have one.
Misogyny in medicine is so extreme that we aren’t trusted to make the best decisions for our bodies.
We aren’t trusted to control our reproductive destiny.
Yet we ARE entrusted with bringing life into the world.
It makes no sense.

Anyway, it’s all to say our entire legal system is designed to incarcerate poor people. Or force them off to war to die for rich men. Or chase them from NIMBY town to NIMBY town until they die of disability, drug overdose, or pure exhaustion.
Social murder.

People don’t understand cognitive and intellectual disability at all.
In my appointment with my Dr today, i couldn’t remember my birthday or my name and had to take a few minutes to respond — which my caregiver does if I don’t respond within 3-5 minutes.

I wrote about a woman in South Carolina arrested for pregnancy loss.
The “official” charge was desecration of a corpse, because she put the fetal remains in the garbage.
I was accused of scaring women away from getting care for miscarriages
It’s abortion bans doing that 🧵

I know this is really difficult for the right to understand, but able bodied people on Medicaid are already working. They qualify for this assistance because the corporations that employ them refuse to pay them enough to afford health insurance.

ICE jailed an Irish tourist for 100 days for overstaying his visa by three days, because he was too sick to catch his flight home.

Medicaid provides reimbursement to medical providers for medical services.
This means NO ONE can sit at home and collect Medicaid checks. The payments don't go to "Medicaid recipients." They go do doctors and hospitals.

Stuff like this is going on but they want us to worry about trans women in the bathroom.
Male ICE agent assaults woman inside restaurant's womens bathroom—armed with his government issued handgun.
Then violently resisted arrest after Long Beach police arrived at the scene—injuring at least 1 of police officers.
Isaiah Hodgson was released after pleading not guilty to 6 felony and misdemeanor charges while off duty—including assault, resisting arrest, battery on a peace officer, and carrying a concealed firearm.
It just so happens he was also the agent who brutally arrested a U.S. citizen last month during a widely publicized ICE raid at a Walmart in Pico Rivera, California.

lol the world wasn’t shut down at all
And SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is a completely different virus than influenza.
People don’t talk about it but Covid did unrepairable damage to non 9-5 jobs.
Before Covid my college town had coffee shops open till 2AM. The mall stores were open till 10.
But we decided to shut the world down for 3 years so boomers wouldn’t get the flu, so everything closed at 7 now.

I own a medical billing company, so trust me when I tell you:
The United States is the only country on Earth that employs more people in the business of blocking access to healthcare than it employs in the business of providing healthcare.
You got suckered.
And it shows.

A disabled person was trapped this Thursday when ICE agents threw a canister of teargas under his wheelchair.
Jonathan Caravello, lecturer in philosophy at California State University Channel Islands tried to protect them.
He was piled on, tackled & arrested for his efforts
