actually fucking tragic more people don't know about infinity train, the animated kids show that aired on cartoon network, where the season two transgender allegory protagonist straight up brutally murders a cop onscreen.
i think itd be neat if urbain and taunie were the same person just presenting differently
I'm too disabled to go to school or to work. I barely graduated high school and then only bc of a very dedicated special ed team. I utterly fail every capitalistic productivity litmus test.
when people are like "what radicalized you" well the alternative was to accept society's opinion that people like me are useless and should just die. so. instead I became a communist
Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. moved one step closer to his goal of dismantling the nation’s premier public-health agency by dismissing more than 1,000 scientists, doctors and public health officials from the Department of Health and Human Services late Friday night.
The dramatic move came during the second week of a government shutdown and is part of the Trump administration’s aggressive push to even further slash the size of the federal workforce and punish Democrats. The culling reportedly started with at least 4,000 people across departments including Education, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development and Energy, among others.
But the bloodshed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was especially acute, according to a list crowdsourced by CDC employees who received layoff notices that was viewed by MSNBC. The firings ran across more than a dozen CDC divisions and centers, wiping out entire offices and teams that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses, collect data, publish scientific reports and communicate with global partners and Congress.
#do they want people to die? do they want there to be another pandemic so they can seize power in the panic?#or do they actually believe this shit somehow?
the answer is yes.
they want the racialized, the disabled, the queer, and the poor, and every intersection thereof, and beyond, to die.
that is the eugenics endgame of it all, plain and simple.
I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.
I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.
There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.
This is not normal.
From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK
It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.
This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.
"ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid" - MSN, published October 1st, 2025
Most mainstream media is barely covering it.
I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.
Spread this far and wide - there's no paywall.
I am genuinely convinced that in the final accounting of that, we will find someone in ICE in cahoots with building ownership so the building's owners could sell or jack up rents, bc of one of the last paragraphs in that article. I've been thinking about that for like 2 days.
As the United States continues to amp up its ableist policies, particularly regarding autism, with the characterization of autism being that of a high support needs, intellectually disabled child, I think it is of the utmost importance that low support needs people who, building from RFK Jr.'s definition of autism,
- can pay taxes,
- can hold a job,
- can play baseball,
- can write a poem,
- have been on a date, and
- who have used a toilet unassisted,
understand that "actually I've done those things and I'm autistic!" is not some defeat of ableist rhetoric. All you are saying is "well, he isn't talking about me!" and you're right, he isn't, he's talking about the people he meticulously described who, much to the frustration of low support needs autistic politics, do exist. They're out there. I've seen them. I've worked with them for years. They're often concentrated into institutionalized life and therefore extremely vulnerable.
You surely know who Hans Asperger was and what happened to the kids identified as Autism Flavour A, rather than Autism Flavour B.
In previous fascist and eugenicist movements, the scientific concensus shifting from curable to incurable was pretty fucking bad. Scientifically accurate in some respects, yes, but the thing about people being labelled as a useless eaters and then impossible to "fix" after "scientific" investigation, is that this creates an extremely tenuous situation where one of two things is going to happen: either the same fascist government that accepted a framing of eliminating the specific disabled population accepts they are incurable and decides to support them, or they investigate alternative solutions.
In about 1908, Eugen Bleuler defined "schizophrenia," and part of his definition involved schizophrenia's incurability.
By 1945, it was credibly believed there were no schizophrenics in Germany.
These are dangerous times, and dangerous concepts. Even if they say "cure" now, know embracing the framing of life unworthy of life and applying it to people who DO exist, sets the precedent for darker times ahead.
When you say that "well I'm autistic and I can do that!" you contribute less than nothing to the conversation. This is not an act of resistance, this is an act of classifying oneself as Autism Flavour A, when what you need to do is defend the people of Autism Flavour B.
I could give a fuck less if you can write a poem, Kyle.
Make it clear you'll protest on behalf of the kid who can't.
