Remember when RFK Jr said he wanted to make lists of autistic people?
Disabled advocates warned that was just the beginning. That the violation of medical privacy would be used for nefarious purposes.
Today the regime announced it’s giving all personally identifiable information of Medicaid enrolees to ICE.
That’s right, ICE bullies will now have access to almost 80 million people’s personal info. This is an atrocious violation of privacy that will no doubt be used to target other groups as well.
It won’t stop with immigrants. It won’t stop with autistic people.
Fascists never stop and we must all fight back.
Stop comparing #AlligatorAlcatraz to Nazi concentration camps. The U.S. gov has built concentration camps before.

“Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.” Let Them Eat Plague! – The Red Clarion
