Ableism Enables All Forms of Inequity and Hampers All Liberation Efforts. Ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control and disappear disabled and nondisabled people alike.

In this engaging interview, Talila A. Lewis argues that ableism has deep implications for every other marginalized identity. In short, ableism, according to Lewis, is at the root of other powerful hegemonic sites — from race and class to colonialism and nationality. In this way, they uncover the ways in which ableism insidiously operates across space and time. As an abolitionist community lawyer, educator and organizer, Lewis has focused on abolishing the medical-carceral-industrial complex and highlighting the inextricable links between ableism, racism, classism, and all other forms of oppression and violence.

IMO Amnesty International is perpetrating discrimination of the users of Twibright Links lightweight web browser not equipped with JavaScript and IMO Amnesty International are hypocrites: they pose as if fighting for human rights, but they themselves IMO perpetrate discrimination and censorship and Amnesty International IMO violates the basic human right to receive information.

I recommend:
1) Don't send Amnesty International any donations.
2) Tell other people about the behaviour of Amnesty International.
3) Boycott Amnesty International.

Their website consists of a grid of pictures and text. You don't need JavaScript to display that and even if you did, lack of JavaScript would just mean reduced functionality, not blocking of whole website.

This may IMO impact marginalized individuals (people living in poverty, people in developing countries, refugees, dissidents) who cannot afford to buy a powerful device with enough RAM (cf. recent RAM price crisis) to run a resource hungry web browser with JavaScript and exacerbate the digital divide.

IMO Amnesty International is joining the camp of perpetrators of digitalitarian digitatorship, where citizens are required to submit to an ever increasing amount of surveillance and tracking and required to submit to an extortion to purchase ever more expensive electronic devices.

I feel

I am writing this article from the point of view of a trans woman, but if you are queer, neurodivergent, disabled, or just someone who has diverged from the paint by numbers societal norm in any way, I am sure you will see your own story in here somewhere.

Reminder that #JasmineCrockett supports #Israel. All the benefits she wants for #Americans, she doesn't also want for #Palestinians. #Voting for her is not centering the most #marginalized, it's throwing them under the bus for your own gain.

The #Party could have run a very similar #candidate who supported #Palestine instead. They had no lack of options. They simply chose #zionism. Don't reward them for it.

@elilla #Merz is a #cyberfascist POS and his #fascist bs is an insult to every #marginalized person and completely disregarding that unlike him, those affected by #Neonazis and #HateCrime get neither a police detail nor legal access to effective means of self-defense.

• For every fascist nonsense he and others push, I'll offer a free install of @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and setup for a private @torproject / #Tor / #TorBridge on top of it. (#BYOD / #BYOS OFC!)
• People like Merz & #Merkel are the reason why folks do #Camover!

The thing is that growth of #liberal #democracy implies the hitherto #oppressed (e.g. #women, #poor, #marginalized, etc.) became better off and the ones at the top (i.e. #men from dominant #tribes) started really hating that. They subverted democracy to gain more #money (low #taxes) and #power to turn back time (i.e. #MAGA) They use both money and power to increase #tribalism which weakens #liberal #democracy that in turn weakens #economic #growth - get it?
