The BBC is too White, and that's why it handles things like this very badly.

Censoring "Free Palestine" but not the racial slur was a CHOICE

Ignorance is worn with pride, pettiness and spite are seen as virtue on GB News.

This is BBC overlord Robbie Gibb's other project by the way, but he isn't 'biased' on no...everyone else is /s

Today in Labor History July 14, 1933: the Nazi eugenics program began with the proclamation of the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring requiring the compulsory sterilization of any citizen who suffers from alleged genetic disorders. The Nazi eugenics program was similar to, and inspired by, the eugenics program in the United States, which had begun in the late 1800s, and included forced sterilization of people deemed inferior, as well as anti-miscegenation laws. Hitler wrote that "There is today one state in which at least weak beginnings toward a better conception are noticeable. Of course, it is not our model German Republic, but the United States," in reference to the U.S. eugenics program. Though the Nazis took their program much further, with the mass extermination of people they thought were inferior, especially Jews, Roma, and anyone else that was not straight, cis and β€œAryan,” as well as people with disabilities, communists, socialists and anarchists, both programs were based on the presumptions that certain groups of people were inferior, and that their elimination would improve the genetic stock. Forced sterilization, particularly of African-American women, continued well into the 1970s in many parts of the U.S. Early proponents of eugenics included many liberals, progressives, socialists, and even black activists including: Margaret Sanger, W. E. B. Du Bois, Hellen Keller, Clarence Darrow, George Bernard Shaw, 2-time Nobel Prize laureate Linus Pauling (including a Nobel peace prize).

Also I was denied personal care and #mealsonwheels by the state because I "don't have a physical #disability?" Well yes I am depressed because I'm bedridden from #cfs not vice versa which they're claiming. My doctor even wrote in my medical file I need the help. It's such 90s thinking that #MeCfs is a mental health condition but yet here we are. It means to get a shower and not lose my apartment due to my kitchen floor being dirty or bathroom or a fucking basic level of clean because I can't sweep or mop it, I have to pay for it from my #SSI $963 a month. These need to be done at least every week.

I was at the ear nose throat doctor yesterday and I'm in sweats, I have a hat on because even though I now have short hair I can't brush it plus it sticks straight up, plus a #mask. He asks me a question he already knows the answer to and he's not the first doctor to do this and it's happening more AGAIN after years of it not happening. "What do you do for a living?" "I'm on disability I have severe chronic fatigue syndrome." "Who do you live with?" (This is all his business WHY?) and other questions I can't remember along those lines.
What does that have to do with my ear problems?
I'm not sure if he was trying to figure out if I had serious mental problems which I have depression and anxiety 2 really common diagnosis and again has nothing to do with my ears.
I had told him a problem with my left ear and he patronized me by removing wax, but I still have the problem and zero answers so I'm going to see the regular guy at the office because he actually has real answers and takes me seriously.
#cfs #mecfs possible #abelism
Waste of time especially since the office I had to see him in was out of town.
So I'm running into a lot more #discrimination based on #disability in places you'd never think it would originate like my eye Dr and primary care dra office. My disabilities, I'm probably not wording them correctly but #confusion #ShortTermMemoryIssues and people thinking that I'm somehow CHOOSING THESE DISABILITIES AND ASSIGNING THOSE "CHOICES" AS ME **CHOOSING TO BE DIFFICULT.*** AND THAT I SHOULD ***JUST CHOSE TO STOP SUCH BEHAVIORS***
I have **VERY SEVERE #meCFS which as my physical situation has gotten worse so has the UNDESCRIBIBLY BAD #brainfog.
I'm going to tag this also #LongCovid even though I don't have that, others where the Long COVID turns to ME/CFS are going through this too.
It not only hurts indescribably but when it's in the medical field it SEVERELY impacts your care.
I haven't seen this type of stuff for at LEAST 15 years. It used to happen all the time and I blame #Trump and his #abelist philosophy and giving bullies "permission" to be who they were but closeted before. Also I think he causes others who wouldnt be to be that way especially if they own the practice. No one is there to stop them but themselves and they're not stopping themselves.
