Doctors, nurses: please don’t be cops.“Police raided a terminally ill Kansas man’s hospital room because he allegedly used a weed vape and THC paste to ease the symptoms of the cancer that will kill him within weeks... [he] is set to appear in court" https://t.co/CXkfyryq8P— Eric Reinhart (@_Eric_Reinhart) December 27, 2022

As Fanon noted, doctors are by default aligned with policing: “Although the physician presents himself as ‘the doctor who heals the wounds of humanity,’ Fanon writes, he is in reality ‘an integral part of colonization, of domination, of exploitation.’”https://t.co/a2J6BobzH0— Eric Reinhart (@_Eric_Reinhart) December 27, 2022

I wonder if they ensured the police—who have among the lowest vaccine uptake rates in the US and have been a major anti-vax group—were even compliant with hospital vaccine requirements to protect immunocompromised patients like this man. I doubt it.https://t.co/FYWd1z7Cyj— Eric Reinhart (@_Eric_Reinhart) December 27, 2022

@DorothyERoberts explains why we should take a radically different approach rather than continue to abet family policing systems.https://t.co/CgfYCw0EUM— Eric Reinhart (@_Eric_Reinhart) December 27, 2022

I was let go from my job at WVPB last week following threats from DHHR about my reporting on DHHR’s treatment of people with disabilities.— Amelia Knisely (@ameliaknisely) December 28, 2022

It must not be overlooked that this reporting focused on some of the most vulnerable people who are in state-run facilities.— Amelia Knisely (@ameliaknisely) December 28, 2022

.@stevenadamswv contacted me yesterday with a full story about the timeline of events as some of it was done via government email accounts. I appreciate his careful reporting on state government. Thank you for asking me for a comment & please support him. https://t.co/nrGfNbMrBi— Amelia Knisely (@ameliaknisely) December 28, 2022

Every single person is one diagnosis, one accident, one injury away from being in unrelenting pain. To have a medication that people say worked for them, and for “experts” to say “oh, no it didn’t work for you, that’s just your brain being hijacked,” is so cruel and horrific.— Bev Schechtman (@ibdgirl76) December 28, 2022

This aligns with experiences in our communities of neurodivergent and disabled people, where we reframe “school refusal” as “school-induced anxiety”. Bullying is only a part.https://t.co/l9tsUAwscY— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) December 27, 2022

Elon Musk has a lot to teach us all: like, how we can avoid being like that, why people like Musk have such terrible attitudes to things, and what we can do to ensure that people who behave like that are kept away from positions of power.#ActuallyAutistichttps://t.co/RmHMzcdQ53— @ferrous@ (@MxOolong) December 27, 2022
