"We in this country have seen a remarkable change. And in Washington right now — and forgive me, I’m gonna use the 'f' word — we have a fascist, a fascist government that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

"We have been lied to over and over and over again about these camps. Our president said these detention camps were being put up to put in immigrants who had criminal records. We now have about 65–70,000 people incarcerated in these camps."

"29% have criminal records. 71% of the people in these camps, even with our country's and our government's statements about why they set up the camps, don’t belong there! 71% of the people in camps don’t belong there, according to the government, and yet they are put there."

"The boss had “clearly developed some sort of mental disorder,” she said. “Spending the whole day talking to ChatGPT and making decisions about the future of your company and the people who work there based on what it ‘tells’ you seems insane."

I’ve had a huge health setback following my move.

My level of function is half what it was before.

The hospital said they would connect me with “resources” to assist with activities of daily living.

There’s a 1.5 year wait list.

MAiD was offered in under a month.

I don’t want to die.

I don’t want to allow the government to euthanize me.

But this is eugenics I’m always talking about.

I need assistance to survive. Help with cooking & cleaning.

The supports don’t exist unless you have a ton of money.

When you try and push your body to do it yourself, you get worse.

If you end up in hospital, they suggest assisted dying.

Am I “free” to say no? Of course.

Does it feel that way when nothing else is being offered?

Not at all.

I’m being denied the support to live while “offered” death.

That’s coercion.

It’s eugenics.

The system has decided I’m not worth saving.

I’m not alone in this.

Disabled people urgently need allies and support in this fight.

And I need some home care.

Technology is often looked to for providing solutions to climate change. One idea is to capture carbon pollution from the air and bury it underground forever. But according to this report from @ProPublica, there is no way it will ever work:
