"An American Eagle ad with overtly racist undertones tells us that Sydney Sweeney's jeans are great because they're blue like her eyes. Meanwhile a modern-day holocaust happens on the other side of the globe, with images of emaciated babies delivered direct to our phones while our president sets 500 tons of emergency food aid on fire. And Trump signs an executive order making it legal to forcibly institutionalize, detain, imprison, intern, (choose your verb), anyone the regime determines is mentally ill"

- Leeja Miller "The Eugenics Of It All"

"We love to treat it like these are separate things... like there's identity politics and then there's economic politics. Like there's the economy and then there's culture, right? But from a standpoint of understanding anything about disability, anything about disability rights--First and foremost, anybody can become disabled. Anybody can be considered disabled. That's just a reality... In Gaza, bombs are dropped that [amputate] people's limbs. People's limbs are shot by riot police in the United States. People are becoming intentionally disabled. COVID-19, the way that ransacked communities despite the resources being there to prevent that. They can make you disabled."

- elliot sang again "Eugenics: So hot right now"
