Israel attacked the World Health Organization three times today, “forcing women and children to evacuate on foot … amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated on the spot and screened at gunpoint.” Sanction this rogue regime now.

We deserve a world where health isn’t rationed, care isn’t contingent, survival isn’t means-tested &life is not valued statistically—We deserve infrastructures built around life, not abandonment—We won’t get there by politely debating actuarial projections w capitalist parasites

Health Communism is finally out in paperback on 7/29! If you’re planning to order a copy online, please get it from the Workshops4Gaza bookstore & add an additional donation to The Sameer Project if you can! 👇

They just gave ICE access to Medicaid records and now they’re criminalizing homelessness and mental illness. This isn’t public safety, this is eugenics.

I’m sorry, you’re not better than the air quality today. If you have to go outside, I encourage you to wear a mask to protect yourself. Here are some distro points with masks available:

QPIRG Concordia will also be open from 2pm-6pm today for you to stop by and grab some masks

Your illness is not a business opportunity. Your pain not a profit margin. The healthcare system is a machine of organized abandonment—an engine of extraction dressed as care. We will not fix it with more “choice.” We will fix it by ending the rule of capital over life.

People always talk about finding cures in terms of easing disabled people's misery, but what they really care about is easing the discomfort they feel around disabled people. (1/2)

If they gave a fuck about us, they would be wearing masks, advocating for pain relief and universal healthcare, donating to mutual aid funds, making things accessible, and ultimately trying to bring down the system oppressing us all. (2/2)

I'm so terribly worried about Mo. I don't know if he is still alive. Regardless I know his family needs help. Please bring smiles to his children's faces. Please get them bread.

Labor movements that ignore disability side w the boss. Because conditions that disable us—speedups, surveillance, denial of rest, lack of sick time, bad/unsafe working conditions, low pay, long hours—are used to squeeze everyone. History of labor is also history of disability.

Disability isn’t outside the labor struggle, it’s central to it. Capitalism creates debility by designing work that breaks us down and then discards us. Disability is not just a medical category. It’s the byproduct of violence, extraction, and neglect.

July was a series of “so sad you take photos with a mask on”

With budgetary attacks on Medicaid underway, it’s a good time to revisit Marta Russell’s money model of disability—a Marxist theory of disablement that explains how even the most neglected care systems become profitable under capitalism. I wrote about it in 2021 on Blind Archive

Disability is a site of class struggle because it exposes the lie of meritocracy. We show that survival isn’t earned—it’s organized, or it doesn’t happen at all.

Nothing sent so far! This is urgent I have no funds for food or to be able to get to work tomorrow! Please share so this reaches who can send funds

At some point of Israel’s starvation of Gaza, hunger stopped being just physical, and started to erode the mind. You would see people wandering aimlessly, not even asking for food anymore. Children stopped playing. Conversations became quieter, slower. People forgot certain

🚨 Friends, this is important in a stop what you’re doing and sign right now kind of way. The Canadian Aerosol Coalition has created a petition in support of implementing CSA mask standards in Canadian healthcare settings. We’re talking about nearly universal respirators‼️ 🧵

seeing multiple white family members soft launch their “guru” careers on social media because they were “transformed” on their trip to Asia just goes to show not much has changed

Just turned in my final round of proofs. I guess this is happening for real now. Out November 4th:
