#Canada #serviceontario basically commented they would think I am out of the country because I didn't renew my #OHIP in a timely manner. This is a strange #assumption. It also makes me concerned how they use #data via #OHIP as #surveillance systems.

#Political outcomes aren’t determined by #IQ or cognitive ability they’re shaped by #power, #strategy, and who gets excluded from discourse. #Liberation politics should reject ableist scapegoating and focus on systems, not people.

#Trump’s rise wasn’t because people are ‘stupid’ he relates to people, channels their frustrations, and manipulates #systems cleverly, all while mocking the #marginalized and #disabled himself. Mocking him as an ‘idiot’ on the #left is equally misleading.

#Decline, #illness, and #aging are human realities not #political crises. Treating them as scapegoats for #societal problems is #ableist and distracts from the systems that actually create harm. We rarely have this conversation.

I love #idiocracy as #satire, but treating the idea that society is ‘breeding idiots’ as reality is #ableist. People’s worth isn’t measured by #IQ, and #political failure comes from #systems, not #cognitive difference.

There are people who, because of intellectual #disability, brain injury, #trauma, ##mentalhealth or #neurodivergence, will never be able to engage in abstract #political #theory. #Liberation politics has to make room for that reality instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.

If #political legitimacy depends on #theoretical capacity, what happens to people who will never have that capacity?

It’s especially disappointing when people who champion #theory and #academia ignore how intellectual disability, neurodivergence, and physical disability actually shape political participation. Ivory-tower activism that can’t grapple with disability justice isn’t radical it’s exclusion.

Also worth naming: IQ is basically pseudoscience with deep roots in #eugenics and #colonialism. Using ‘collective IQ’ as a #political insult isn’t clever it’s recycling harmful, discredited frameworks.

#Disability justice reminder: IQ language, contempt for ‘anti-intellectualism,’ and insisting organizing only counts in person all come from the same place #hierarchies about whose minds and bodies are valued in movements.

Frustrated with how often political critique slips into #ableist metaphors (‘collective IQ’), narrow ideas of intelligence, and rigid ideas about ‘real’ organizing needing physical presence. Movements don’t get stronger by excluding #disabled, remote, or non-academic people.

A random civilian domestic terrorist? With no criminal record No weapons No threats No ideological statements No organizational ties No planning or coordination No prior surveillance or investigation No charges filed No co-conspirators detained And no post-incident evidence supporting intent

There have been people labeled as extremists or suspects, but actual domestic terrorism cases in the U.S. always involve at least one of the following: weapons, explicit threats, planning, coordination, or clearly articulated intent. #reneegood

A person is not a “domestic terrorist” unless: They are investigated as such Charged under relevant statutes And adjudicated through due process. None of that occurred here. #reneegood

No warrant has been cited No APB or BOLO has been disclosed Her partner was not detained, questioned, or arrested No terrorism charge or immigration allegation has been filed ICE did not claim she was a target before the shooting #reneegood

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

#ICE ’s legal authority is limited to immigration enforcement, not general policing or counterterrorism. #reneegood

Biggest no brainer: #ICE are not police officers.ICE’s jurisdiction is strictly immigration enforcement, they do not have general police powers like local or state law enforcement. #reneegood

Standard practice is to approach vehicles from the side, use barriers for protection, maintain distance, and only step in front when the vehicle is completely stopped and under control. #reneegood

Police officers are trained to avoid standing directly in front of a vehicle because it is extremely dangerous. A moving car can cause serious injury or death, even if the driver is not acting maliciously. #reneegood

No court has legally determined wrongdoing, and the “terrorism” label is purely administrative and not a judicial finding. #reneegood

The officer moved around her vehicle voluntarily and fired into open windows, while her partner and a dog remained in the car and were not detained, highlighting serious questions about the use of force and the credibility of the federal narrative. #reneegood

My theory is that men often use #women as shields. Whether it’s household chores, emotional labor, or social expectations like gift-giving, women take the blame or scrutiny for things men either ignore or don’t realize matter. #patriarchy #feminism #relationships

One of the biggest and most simple life hacks I came across for apartment dwellers, a fan in the kitchen that blows air towards the entry point. This keeps unwanted smells from seeping through doorways/cracks and has worked better than draft dampers.

Sometimes the debate about slogans like #ACAB or “no war but class war” reads more like #communist vs #anarchist infighting than a real discussion about systemic critique. The slogans exist to communicate ideas, not to gatekeep intelligence or political purity. #LeftDialogue #AccessibleTheory

Slogans like #ACAB or “no war but class war” aren’t just for liberals or to break through to right wingers, they condense complex history and systemic critique into language that communicates to everyone. Reducing them to audience targeting misses their real power. #SocialCritique #AccessibleTheory

This isn’t just “identity politics.” Making #revolutionary theory and collective action #accessible to everyone including #neurodivergent people is about survival and reality, not abstraction. #AccessibleTheory #JusticeForAll

#Communism only succeeds when theory is accessible. If it’s locked in books or elite debates, people get lost in the reeds instead of building real, collective power. This includes towards people with #developmentaldisabilities

#Revolutionary theory isn’t just for #academics. The Black Panthers understood this, they ran liberation schools, community programs, and health clinics that made #Marxist and anti- #colonial ideas accessible to everyone.

This all stems from #leftist dialogue about how "slogans" like #acab & "no war but a class war" are reductive. Suggesting that revolutionary war is needed. I'm positive that #nowar slogan is not directly intended to suggest that #revolution isn't the answer.

This is why #leftist #academics need to come down from #ivory towers and realize you need to be able to talk to everyone, including people with developmental disabilities.

I have also just witnessed so called #communist and #socialist #leftists use "retard" as a slur and pejorative. Fun times! #leftbook #ableism

I see people dismissing others as “just dumb.” for not reading theory. That’s not a #communist #socialist way of thinking it’s #ableist and surface-level. Theory should account for systemic barriers, including inequities in education and neurodivergence, and be explained in ways everyone can access.

#Settlers can sometimes access and even bill these PSA #Indigenous Wellness services through insurance, which misappropriates #FNMI knowledge, medicines, and culture. It’s concerning that these culturally sacred resources are being treated as something “buyable and billable."

This is the link to the details of the #Indigenous #FNMI Personal Saving Account coverage. #Sunlife providing "traditional wellness services" through workplaces. Keep in mind these services should not be bought and paid for generally.

SunLife’s #Indigenous Wellness coverage, allows anyone deemed “eligible” to access #Indigenous services, including non-Indigenous (Settler) people. I unfortunately came across this when a old friend (Settler) suggested using it through their employer. #FNMI

Workplaces offering their Settler employees #FNMI #Indigenous wellness packages (traditional healing, medicines, etc.) via #Insurance is absolutely wild.

Going into the New Year, we should realize that #Pretendian hunters are not #genealogical experts, academics, etc. This isn't denying their own #livedexperience. However, after the #lilygladstone fiasco, I think we need some time to reassess #sources.

Calling out “ #Pretendian behavior” as a #mentalhealth issue isn’t neutral, it’s pseudo-scientific #eugenics. Just because many Pretendians are white doesn’t make it okay to pathologize them. People with no mental health expertise diagnosing others is replicating white supremacist logic. #FNMI

#Pretendian hunters: "Pretendians have undiagnosed #mentalhealth issues like #narcissistic behavior". I can assure you #capitalism & #colonial systems are the issue. #Diagnosis and the #DSM are contested for their roots in #eugenics

The movie #tradingplaces is also about class solidarity, and in the process seeks to normalize sex work in 1983. You could also say highlights how racism hasn't changed.

Bailey's Building & Loan in #itsawonderfullife wouldn't exist today because Potter won in our reality through bank #monopolies.

How many Little Women movies can I get through? 2 so far this holiday.

Biological essentialism (“blood = truth”) Purity logic Collective punishment (entire categories of people dismissed) Moral hierarchy of who is more or less “real” Weaponization of identity to police others rather than dismantle power are methods #Pretendian Hunters are using. #FNMI
