When we switched health insurance recently we spent literal hours going back and forth checking that our doctors and medications were in network & covered. First claims are coming back as out of network/not covered. I’d scream if I wasn’t exhausted to my bones. #USAHealthcare ie #DeathCare

My worksona has been saying for years that we need to switch to low-or-no input agriculture to have any hope of sustainable food production. Most folks don’t realize how many fossil fuels conventional ag uses. Now we are going to see the consequences of NOT swapping. I am really worried.

US-Americans: what is your first memory of interacting one-on-one with a cop? Because as a white person I was taught to trust cops without reservation... but my lived experience taught me otherwise.

Violence in the face of violence is self defense. Every man, woman, Enby and child, has a right to defend themselves from being harmed.

I accept that as a #Disabled person I am probably not going to survive the coming collapse of civilization. But I still fully plan to fight for my survival (and my comrades') till I drop. It isn't hope or blind faith. I believe the fight for justice is worth the salt... even if we lose in the end.

A little break from the horrors.

The USA seriously needs crop insurance reform. How we grow food in this country is rotten and based on profit, not actually feeding people. “At scale” is often used to denote profit, not impact. It’s gross.

“Shhhhh oh no no don’t talk badly about our faves or else we will never get away from red-hat fascism.” Spoken with the most biting sarcasm. Blue fascists are still… fascists. Beholden to capitalism, not you. Just watch how they treat the most marginalized; that will show you their real agenda.

I agree with this 💯. “The right to comfort” is a powerful tool of white supremacy and colonialist control. AND ALSO to the leftists that weaponize this concept against people with disability and chronic illness as a way to refuse accommodation and community connection… do better! #Ableism

I hate living in this agricultural valley. So tired of being sick from the regular applications of herbicide on the lawn grass seed and other monocultures nearby. Seeing the spraying (dicamba and 2,4-D usually) happen without PPE and concerned for the farm workers, too.

Science has always been political but that does not make its finding automatically incorrect.

My eyes and face are swollen, the inside of my throat is blistered and raw, and my lungs sound like Darth Vader when I breathe. But I’m alive. I really hate #AlphaGalSyndrome #AGS … someone in the neighborhood has a meat smoker and was using it last night. Cue anaphylaxis and misery due to fumes.

The dread I feel seeing the differences in the flora and fauna every year is backed up by warming data. We’re cooking the planet. There are so many reasons to oust political leadership and change our extractive-colonialism ways. #ClimateChange is a big one.

Really circular discussion with a doctor: Told I need to go to a specific facility in a different state because they are the only ones that provide a service I need. Me: I can't travel there because they criminalize trans people. Blank stare, then told it's worth it despite the "PIA." Huh?!

Watching #Artemis II launch and feeling choked up. Seeing our #Earth from space always makes me have The Emotions. I love our planet. It's so stunning and incredible. And even humanity can be really cool when we use our innate drive for curiosity.

MAGA's red hats are giving Cordyceps growing out of ant.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. With all the love and hope to all my trans community. Despite the genocide being perpetuated against us we will survive. And someday, thrive. #TransgenderDayofVisibility

I have a funny story. About a dermatologist I told I was allergic to a specific suture material. He said I know better than you/that won’t happen/submit or I refuse to do these tests. I needed the test, so I agreed. My hand swelled like a balloon and squirted blood all over him. He lost it.

I haven't tried this, but I am curious about how some #Gardeners are buying cotton sheets at thrift stores and using them as weed barriers in combo with wood mulch/chips. Even with 100% cotton I wonder about the dyes, contamination from laundry products, etc. But is it superior to cardboard?

Another "inefficiency" in conventional agriculture are the losses in soil health, ecosystem services, and biodiversity. Food production that maximizes ecological benefits is often more "efficient" when considering all the externalizations. But capitalism isn't interested in anything but profit.

Indigenous food ways are ecologically based and on average produce MORE food per landmass with positive outcomes for local biodiversity and global climate pressure. Yes, we can absolutely feed the world. But only if we stop trying to ensure food is "profitable." grist.org/indigenous/m...

🙏PLEASE🙏 the Earth needs us to universally wake up.

Oh yay, more land to go to faceless corporations and the pedo-class. Keeping control of food is part of their plan to wipe out and control the rest of us. Could we have some #LandBack and #WorkerSolidarity instead of this end-stage-capitalism bullshit, please? www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I don't understand transmedicalism and especially the people who use it to attack their peers. Being a bigot toward people who have more in common with you isn't gonna save you from the bourgeoisie or the supremacists.

The real zombie apocalypse was just capitalism all along.

Many in my network are getting their SNAP cut due to "errors" right now. I spent 10 hrs on the phone with health insurance last week due to an "error" that put our account on hold. I couldn't get my lifesaving medication for that week. How much is AI contributing to the chaos and "errors"?

The fawn lilies are starting to come up. One of my favorite #SpringEphemerals … and edible too! #Wildflowers

Losing it over all the people not masking/ignoring #Pandemic risks because they "refuse to live in fear". If fear is the only reason you care for yourself and your community your brain really HAS been melted by capitalism and colonialism.

#MutualAid need!

#SoilHealth improves for many data points when you don't use synthetic fertilizer. The adage "feed the soil, not the plant" simplifies complex processes, but at it's base is science-backed. Healthy soil offers many benefits, including making crops more resilient in extreme weather (ex. drought).

Another day, another three hours spent trying to do my job to the sound of the horrible hold music of my medical insurance company. Because I've suddenly lost access to a life-saving medication. The combo of #USHealthcare system bullshit and #ChronicIllness is a knockout punch.

It's 72F in March. My butt should not be this sweaty in March. We could be growing healthy soil, bio-diverse ecosystems, eating and doing art together, building mutualistic communities... but noooo, instead we have climate change and a pedo-capatalist class. I hate it here.

Farmers are among the USA's hungriest welfare recipients. They often vote red because they get handouts from Reds. But that "free money" props up an exploitative food system (not one that actually feeds people). And it keeps farmers on a debt treadmill, beholden to a structure that harms them, too.

My life-saving prescription is suddenly unaffordable. Insurance says it’s covered, but my account is on hold. Why? We’ve paid all premiums on time. 😐 It’s a system error we can’t correct it till Monday. 👍 Dying is only possible during business hours?! This is #USAHealthcare in a nutshell.

Farmers didn't vote for Tr*mp "against their own interests." Stop assuming farmers are all just brainwashed or ignorant. Many farmers don't like that their immigrant workers are at-will and can leave if treated poorly! They voted the way they did because they were promised slave labor.

You can grow food cheaply in a small space, including apartment balconies or windowsills. I’ve gotten questions about how to get around using bagged soils and fertilizer (especially synthetics) in #containergardens. It does require some more creativity, but here’s what I’ve done!

Anyone newer to gardening and/or food production and need help or have questions? Especially if you are stressing, I am here to help. For one, be wary of folks telling you to stock up on synthetic fertilizer before costs spike. You can build awesome, sustainable soil health without those inputs.

Most of the (even well meaning) preparedness and leftist communities do not account for difference and difficulty disability adds to everything. “Build community first” when it comes to preparing for disaster… but how do you do that when you can’t talk to your neighbors without risking your life?

I am finally able to build out an emergency/bug-out bag. Apart from the typical first aid, trauma kit, medications, etc. what are some less thought of additions I should consider?

Who else feels a daily sense of doom surrounding climate change? We are disabling our global ecosystems. Much like the policy response to the disabling COVID pandemic... the people in power don't care. And they won't ever care.

Moving away from conventional farming toward #Agroecological methods is necessary. The conventional food system relies on fossil fuel extraction which only feeds warmongering and famine, not actual humans.

I just learned that Yanar Mohammed was assassinated days ago. It's a horrifying and targeted loss of a powerful women's liberation leader. www.madre.org/media-item/y... #YanarMohammed #Iraq

Yeah, I support sensible gun violence controls. Things like universal healthcare, free education, UBI, free basic housing, good food access, regulating polluters, and police/prison abolishment.

I am an attorney. I work in policy. But my individual beliefs and advocacy varies—widely at times—from my career-facing persona. I did the law license over a decade ago when I was naive to a lot of the foundational systemic issues tying the world’s problems together. I’ve changed a lot.

I BEG anyone who is questioning whether we can feed and care for people to look for the experts breaking down actual costs of things like healthcare vs warmongering. The cost of a single bomb is high in human suffering. Not just for the lives it directly destroys, but for lost opportunities too.

Disability activists warned us all in 2020 as COVID burned, that the eugenics that happened with the 1918 pandemic directly contributed to the growth of fascism in Germany and Italy… It’s not a gift of prophecy. It’s a repeating pattern that y’all ignore until it impacts your false comfort.

The US govt and US States are ramping up efforts to erase trans folks. Even with good evidence that this genocide is a design of the ruling class to distract the working class. People are telling me I need to leave. Newsflash: no country is going to accept a disabled person willingly.
