alt-text: an image of "Congressional Bills 115th Congress" (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-115hres933ih/html/BILLS-115hres933ih.htm) It is highlighted starting with "the war on drugs was admitted to be a move by the nixon administration" the whole text is: Whereas, on June 18, 1971, President Richard Nixon declared the War on Drugs, stating that drug abuse is public enemy number one''; Whereas the Federal Government's attitude toward drug use as a criminal problem only intensified with stricter drug laws, and the Government put little to no focus on treating those impacted; Whereas the War on Drugs was admitted to be a move by the Nixon administration to attack his political opponents, and in 1994, President Richard Nixon's aide John Ehrlichman admitted in an interview that the War on Drugs was a tool to arrest and manipulate Blacks and liberals stating,We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.'';

The US government has literally admitted that the war on drugs was a farce to arrest black people. Most liberals still believe in it.

A picture of an old issue of the New York times with the headline "syphilis victims in U.S. study went untreated for 40 years" the article continues "Washington July 25-- for 40 years the United States public health service has conducted a study in which human beings who were induced to serve as guinea pigs have gone without medical treatment for the disease and a few have died of it's late effects, even though an effective therapy was eventually discovered. The study was conducted to determine from autopsies what the disease does to the human body. Officials of the health service who initiated the experiment have long since retired. Current officials, who say they have serious doubts about the morality of the study, also say that it is too late to treat the syphilis in any surviving participants. Doctors in the service say they are now rendering whatever other medical services they can give to the survivors while the study of the disease's effects continues. Dr. Merlin K Duval, assistant secretary of health, education, and welfare for health and scientific affairs, expressed shock on learning of the study. He said that he was making an immediate investigation . The experiment, called the tuskegee study, began in 1932 with about 600 black men

A tweet from hux | lizzie huxley-jones @littlehux that says "a few weeks ago a hypermobility specailist told my pal that standing up normally for us is like standing on a moving a moving bus at all times and I haven't stopped thinking about it. No wonder we're so flipping tired." and a response from the same poster "I think I mention in my essay for allies the way disabilities can be quietly noticeable if you know what to look for and I can always spot a hypermobile person by how we stand and sway and move positions a lot while standing, or sit like a dropped cluster of spiderweb."

If i found people explaining experiences similar to mine while i was growing up, my life would be incredibly different. This society only teaches abled experiences in school, and because of that so much is lost every day.

A tumblr post by silverSarcasm that reads "it's so (not) funny when abled people complain about how ~hard~ it is to accommodate disabled people considering the fact that most disabled people will not only go to great lengths to try and create accommodations for ourselves but are also much more likely to try and accommodate other disabled people. Like we are faced with so much shit and we still try and make things easier for each other and then abled people are just like ':/ disabled people just aren't worth the bare minimum of effort tbh'" and a response from onewordTest "disabled people always end up accommodating abled people. when we try to pass, that's us accommodating them. We do it constantly, everyday, we are coerced into it even if we don't want to do it consciously because we live in a world that hammers that message into us. And when they get asked to accommodate us eve a little bit, suddenly it's just too much for them."

autistic people being forced to mask is an example of accommodations abled people demand using the constant threat of violence

A tumblr post by sudscrub that reads "I need you guys to stop forgetting that neurodivergent people can still be ableist. If someone is autistic and says that all people with NPD are monsters and evil, they are being ableist. If someone with OCD calls someone else 'psychopathic' and 'psychotic' they are being ableist. You can't hide behind your neurodivergence does not cancel our ableism."

A tumblr post by "autisticbird" with a white background, featuring black text. The text says "Ableism is so tough to combat when people don't even believe it's a thing. 'Like, do you know how many times I've heard people hear the word and scoff? People get so tripped up on the word. Just at the word itself. And then they can't get past it. Once they deem the word "not a thing" or "ridiculous" then actual discrimination and oppression of disabled people goes completely ignored." Under that it says "source: autisticbird". 403 notes.

Most people don't think ableism is a thing because their ideology rests on how exactly they think people should be punished for being disabled. "Work harder, get more" is just "be disabled, get less"

You're autism is no excuse to not know that would hurt my feelings. Allistic person:(makes a joke that would offend an autistic person). Allistic person: You see, your autism makes you unable to understand my type of humor. I shouldn't have to apologize to you. Really you should apologize to me for being offended."

A Tumblr post by burntblueberrywaffles that reads "I love being autistic and trying to communicate because every time it's." Under this is a pencil drawing of a cow looking down to hallways the left hall is labeled "keep things short (they will think your tone is passive aggressive)" the right is labeled "explain the context and your thought process (they will see a wall of text and think you're attacking them)." Both halls lead to the same black pit labeled "misunderstanding" above the hallways it says "the illusion" and below "of free choice"

An important aspect of oppression is that those in power can say that you are wrong, and punish you, regardless of how you actually operate. This often leads to autistic people being policed far more heavily for our language than a neurotypical person would be

A black plaque with a gold rim the and the New York seal that says " The stonewall inn: The events that began at the stone wall inn in 1969 marked a monumental change for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (lgbtq) Americans. Stonewall, which occupied 51-53 christopher street, was a gay bar that was raided on June 28, 1969. Patrons and a crowd outside resisted, and the confrontation continued over the next few nights in nearby Christopher Park and on adjacent streets. This uprising catalyzed the lgbtq civil rights movement, resulting in increased visibility for the community that continues to resonate in the struggle for equality.

A three panel comic of two birds(shaped like peeps), in the first panel they are looking at three blocks the first bird says "there's clearly a trend here" angrily. There is the word trans under the blocks. The second panel is the second bird squinting while looking up saying "now that you mention it" The third panel reveals a tower of blocks looming over them labeled 2826, with the word cis underneath them. The chart is titled "mass shootings by gender status 2018-2023"

Mass shootings are mainly done by cishet White men, and disproportionately target women. They are one of the terror units of United States fascism.
