It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8
This confusion about "I was against the *government* FOR A SINGLE MOMENT, when I protested masks“ stems from a general ignorance of the difference between the privilege of just being once in conflict with the government and the violence of being CONSTANTLY targeted by the *system
"We need a demilitarized planet, starting with the heart of the empire here. We need an end to all immoral and unjust systems, especially capitalism. We need action and we need it now. Our planet can't wait, and neither can we."
The statement from the Howard graduates who disrupted Joe Biden's speech at their commencement. Worth reading in full docs.google.com/document/d/15t…
Tonight Im working a 4th overnight in a row. My partner's PA will be here at 9AM to relieve me. I facilitate a 3-hr Board meeting at noon. My RT is here at 4PM for my monthly visit. I'm cooking dinner w/ my aide in between all that. When is sleep? We still need #FairPay4HomeCare.
Hey friends, a friend of mine was just diagnosed with #LongCovid and it is a big reminder to me how little information folks have to identify what is happening to them, so I’m just gonna share a few clues and what they mean.
"Are you going to wear a mask forever?" Am I going to use seatbelts forever? Am I going to have mammograms and Pap tests forever? Am I going to floss my teeth forever? Am I going to eat my vegetables forever? Masks aren't a hardship. 1/4
Actually, 100% of people don't need to be institutionalized. If home care were offered and paid a living wage, every person could receive quality medical care at home. #FairPay4HomeCare #RestoreHomeCareAccess
#ICYMI yesterday: A new study from @AgingNY "somewhere between 6-10% of people who are currently in nursing homes probably medically don’t truly need to be there ... [NYS] could save as much as $500M by providing 40 hours of home care per week instead ... whec.com/top-news/new-s…
Want to know what’s harming children? Poverty, gun violence, book bans, lack of healthcare & maternal paid leave Want to know what’s NOT harming children? Trans folks & drag shows Shifting the blame onto subjugated people is the oldest tactic in the GOP playbook. Embarrassing.
Kids in Tennessee aren't being killed by drag shows or gender affirming care, but state lawmakers banned them anyway to "protect children." Meanwhile, guns are the leading killer of kids in Tennessee and lawmakers are actually weakening state gun laws. npr.org/2023/03/02/116…
Never ceases to amaze me how inaccessible hospitals are: Where are the wheelchair accessible bathrooms, beds and exam tables? Where are the interpreters for deaf people? Why is information not in an accessible format for blind people. The list goes on…
Imagine what unions can win once healthcare is off the bargaining table! Better wages, benefits & protections + you, your family & community ALL get the care you need. #PassNYHealth
The US but also the worldwide disability movement has lost one of its pillars today. She has forged a path for many and will be remembered. ❤ #JudyHeumann #disabilitytwitter
*Non-disabled ppl emphasizing strengths in job applications bc they need job/$ to survive* Public: yes, excellent, do what u need to! *Disabled ppl emphasizing symptoms in disability applications bc they need services/$ to survive* Public: WOW, malingering, no benefits for u!
It’s weird how we are moving forward unprotected, everyone so confident things have changed, government & media silent, everyone convinced normal is *just* around the corner… Meanwhile, my Twitter TL is a sea of positive Covid tests. THAT is our new normal. And we accept it.
People raising awareness about sars2/sars3 will soon find themselves in a difficult situation. They have already been sidelined. Soon they will be crushed like a rebellion. They will be, more or less, part of a resistance movement. It will be dangerous to speak up.
Why are people mad at Bernie for wearing a mask? Is it grating against your cognitive dissonance or are you mad he wants to live? I’m confused, cause I thought y’all liked him…
NYS is ending the mask mandate in medical settings on Feb 12th!! This will be horrible!!
This is especially important to remember: "Neither care workers nor disabled people are at fault for the system they are trapped in, and they are better served by fighting that system together than they are apart".
