Building alternatives to 911 must be rooted in prison abolition, anti-capitalism, & radical autonomy, esp for BIPOC communities. Otherwise, you're reproducing the same coercive, paternalistic, anti-Black, ableist systems under the guise of "community care," and gaining some capital along the way.

Lil Nas X's arrest is the dangerous venn diagram of anti-Blackness, homophobia, misogynoir, ableism, and the ghastly violence of policing in this country. No one deserves to be surveilled & caged because they are in crisis. No one deserves to be surveilled & caged PERIOD.

"As we saw with the death of Jordan Neely, racism and ableism — that is, discrimination based on disability — against those we perceive as visibly mentally ill can even result in politicians and media outlets celebrating your death at the hands of a vigilante." !!!
Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

People need to name Kennedy’s desire and goal of killing as many ‘unfit’ poor, sick, disabled, Black and brown people as possible—this is the only reasonable conclusion one can make from his ideas and policies.
This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

ICE already has, especially people with psychiatric disabilities and those already at higher risk of Covid complications. Important report here: phr.org/our-work/res...
ICE will kill disabled people. It’s not a question of if but when.
When you take someone’s access to medication & accessibility devices, you put them in increased danger.
With my rigorous medication & fluid schedule I doubt I could survive 48 hours in a detention centre.
This is vile.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.
Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.
She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.
