RFK Jr’s push to create a registry of all people with autism should be setting off alarm bells.

We’ve been here before.

I talk a lot about the Nazi’s Aktion T4 program, because many people forget that they tested the gas chambers on disabled people. We were targeted first because we were seen as expendable. “Useless eaters”. People no one would miss.

Did you know they also created a registry of children born who might have mental or physical disabilities? Midwives were paid to report them to the government, and lists were made.

Creating a registry of autistics won’t “solve autism”. But it could set the stage for something far more sinister.

We must remain vigilant and fight back.

Disabled people are not expendable. Autistic people are not dangerous. Health supremacy is.

The US is trying to ban masks, mRNA vaccines, dismantle healthcare and social supports and arranging to keep lists of people with autism (and possibly other disabilities).

This is not how you tackle the chronic illness epidemic. This is how you begin a nationwide eugenics program.

The US government has dismantled all covid related tracking & reporting despite people dying and becoming disabled every day… Yet they’re establishing a registry to track autism cases and plan to access people’s private medical data.

Autism doesn’t kill. It’s not contagious. This is eugenics

If the person in charge of health and human services stands up and calls diabetes an “exotic disease” and says he has never heard of lupus or crohn’s… he should immediately be fired for gross incompetence.

This is eugenics. RFK Jr is going after disabled people so the country doesn’t have to pay for them.

His insistence on repeatedly bringing up how many kids can serve in the military gives the game away.

health supremacy and fascism are a risk to everyone. They may start with the disabled, but they won’t stop with us.

Notice to "Do Nothing" Democrats and "Give Up in Advance" Democrats and their consultants, you do have the power to shape public opinion when you do the right thing and scream it from the rooftops in engaging ways. It's a win win situation, the opposite of what you all have been doing for 10+ years. We need a party full of leaders like AOC, Frost, Walz, Pritzker, and Van Hollen. That cuts across ideological bases. It's not about being left or center it's about doing something with your power and engaging people on what you are doing. #uspoli #rant #democrats
TIDES TURNING? Trump Is LOSING GROUND on His Strongest Issue!

This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla. He’s already said that he will ‘have to’ remain involved with DOGE to stop the ‘massive fraud and waste’ he’s uncovered from coming ‘rushing back’ the second he leaves.

Stop repeating his lies.

Kristi Noem had her bag, purse, 3K in cash (who walks around with 3K in cash?) and more stolen in a DC restaurant.

The news outlets covering it are claiming the thief was wearing a medical mask.

The fascists will 100% use this as an excuse to enact more mask bans.

We saw it in NYC after Luigi Mangione’s arrest. It reignited the mayor’s desire to ban masks.

If you stopped masking, we need you to start again. Normalize them as a public health tool.

The more people masking, the harder they will be to ban.

Mask bans are discriminatory, ableist ugly laws that harm the most vulnerable among us.

There’s also no evidence they stop or deter crime.

@wendinoakland @benroyce @todymotmot @profdc9 @GutterPoetry @zakalwe "You [the voters] can't vote to save democracy" No. It's "You [the candidate/party] can't win votes to save democracy". If you ignore half your voter base and do things like leave interviews with key interest groups early and say "I'll win with or without you" (Harris' July interview with the Teamsters Union president, Sean O'Brien, in which she only answered 3/16 questions, leading to the Union not endorsing a candidate for the first time since 1996) you're never going to win.

It's like this. Say you're in an academic competition with someone, and if you get worse grades than them, something catastrophic will happen. Do you just not try to get good grades, then blame your professors for the catastrophe when they mark your work accurately? That's what the Democrats did, but with platforms and voters instead of schoolwork and professors. #uspoli

Texas and New York are currently trying to enact mask bans, even as measles cases sore and politicians adopt eugenicist mindsets that say it’s our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy.

You know what helps people stay healthy? Wearing a mask.

Don’t let them say medical exemptions are the answer:

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95

They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases

Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?

I wrote all about respirators in the article below:

There’s something rich about Dr Oz claiming it’s an American’s “patriotic duty” to stay healthy when he’s in an administration actively trying to cut healthcare, abortion access, vaccines & public health (not to mention banning masks).

America is one of the only developed nations that doesn’t have universal healthcare. They refuse to acknowledge it as a basic human right. Surely that is also “unpatriotic”?

Dr Oz: “It is the patriotic duty of all Americans to take care of themselves. It’s important for serving in the military, but it’s also important because healthy people don’t consume healthcare resources.”

They’re all eugenicists. They only care about if you can pay taxes & serve in military.

If you “consume resources”? You’re expendable. Unwanted. Useless eater.

Eugenics and fascism always go hand in hand.
