New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people.

Many of them are children.

600,000 have already died.

The man who gutted the program?

Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire.

He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth.

He should be in jail.

Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year.

This is just another example of what I've said in the face of AI propaganda that tries to claim that if you're anti-AI, you're anti-accessibility.

If tech cared about accessibility that much, you'd see it in their workplaces, their websites, their products, etc. The fact that people want AI to do it shows they care so little about designing and working accessibly that they want to outsource it to an automaton.

Likewise, students' names weren't important to admin.

Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).

I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.

Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.

And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.

@ai6yr @scm This fucks things for disabled people "This bill would instead define a class 1 electric bicycle as a bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, that is not capable of exclusively propelling the bicycle".

Right now one e-bike class allows up to 28 mph and the one that allows a throttle limits it to 20 mph tops.

This one: " that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 16 miles per hour."

The people who don’t view housing as a human right are those who believe they will always have housing.

They can’t fathom becoming disabled, losing their savings or their support network.

They can’t comprehend having everything ripped away from them.

They think they’re the exception.

They’re not.

People don’t plan for homelessness or disability.

It just takes one accident, illness or stroke of bad luck.

We all need and deserve a safety net.
