ID: 3 images from a cage fight.
In the top image there is a fight going on inside the cage which is tagged "LGBT+ spaces", outside of the cage is a fighter looking in, tagged "bigot".
In the middle image we see the outside fighter hanging off of the gate to the cage, trying to break the chains keeping it locked.
In the bottom image the outside fighter has got in to the cage, where another fighter is on their knees leaning on one hand, the bigot is shouting at them "STOP FORCING YOUR VIEWS ON TO ME!"
Are.. Are you basically making the same point as them?
That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
You have a lot of internalised and lateral ableism to unpack.
A court [in the UK] has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.
Which they will get, without a fucking blink, because our government is and always will be for the rich and their interests, and Keith has made it perfectly clear that he couldn't give two shits about the environment, nor even keeping up appearances that he cares.
For the men maybe, women always hated this creepy shit.
And razors..
ID: still from Star Trek: Voyager, of Kathryn Janeway talking to the Doctor:
Janeway: "doc, my gender ain't biney"
Doc: "nonbiney?"
Janeway: "nonbiney. Got any HRT for when your gender is "cryptid communist"?"
Doc: "I'm sorry captain, we're out of Gritty Skittles."
A. air travel isn't "psychotic", fuck off with that ableism and
B. he wouldn't be doing it once, he would be doing it 0.00000000000000001% of a time
So again:
spare me the “every little help” platitude, at the scales we’re discussing here, this person’s itinerary makes zero difference, and only serves to alleviate his personal guilt.
And apparently, some of yours, too!
I say apparently because I didn’t personally know anyone who went through that one.
👋
They tried that shit on me my first assessment, the whole "lift hasn't been working properly". I explained that my pain was too much to go up 2 flights of stairs, and eventually they got it "fixed".
They denied me my benefits anyway, it took about 2.5 years, a load of appeals, and a tribunal, the first time before I got what I was entitled to.
They've denied me every re-assessment since, too, which they've given me every 2 years on average, despite my conditions being either from birth or chronic and progressive, and me winning every appeal and tribunal they've put me through, and being in receipt of the highest rates for over a decade now. I'm actually waiting for another re-assessment as I type since my benefit expired again.
Their goal is for us to die, either from our conditions while we wait, or by suicide after being denied or pushed too far by their process (or from the trauma and the feelings of being a useless burden they cause that last long after the assessment is over), either way, the more of us die, the less money they have to spend on us (never mind that disability benefits are an absolutely miniscule fraction of tax spending). So yeah, their MO is to automatically deny all claims. The fact that once appealed, over 70% of decisions are overturned goes to show just how deliberate it is.
I've only got this far because after that first assessment I started looking for help with the appeal because I had to get that benefit to survive, and discovered just how bad the system I'm up against is, but also that there are people out there dedicating their time to helping others get through it. I literally owe those people my life.

Full transcript:
1 Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant?
A judicial warrant and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant serve different purposes and carry distinct legal authority.
Understanding the difference is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or immigration authorities.
2 Remember If law enforcement, including ICE, knock on your door, do NOT open the door. First, ask them to slide a judicial warrant under the door. ICE and CBP have been known to use warrants that lure community members to surrender without due process.
3 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed. A judicial warrant will:
• Specify the specific address to be searched • Specify the time period in which the search must take place
• Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized
• Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate
4 This is a judicial warrant. This DOES authorize agents to enter your house or search your car. Bellow is an image of a judicial warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that it is a COURT ORDER, that it has your NAME & ADDRESS and that it has a JUDGE SIGNATURE "JUDICIAL OFFICER"
5 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant: ICE agents have been known to use an ICE administrative warrant to bait people into giving them access to their homes, cars and belongings. This document is issued by a federal agency, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE, claiming its authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather by an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.
• An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.
• If this happens-state clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.
6 This is an ICE administrative warrant which DOES NOT authorize agents to enter your home. Bellow is an image of an ICE administrative warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that THIS IS AN IMMIGRATION ORDER, NOT A SEARCH WARRANT and that it is SIGNED BY 'INS OFFICER' AND NOT A JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE.
7 If you are approached by ICE, remember:
DOCUMENT THE INTERACTION. Inform the agent that you are going to use your right to record. Take photos, video and write down all the details

1 Conoce tus derechos frente a la migra: ¿Qué es una orden judicial? Una orden judicial y una orden de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE por sus siglas en ingles) tienen propósitos diferentes y poseen distintas autoridades legales. Entender la diferencia es crucial, especialmente cuando se trata de proteger tus derechos durante encuentros con las autoridades policiales o de inmigración.
2 Recuerda Si las autoridades, incluyendo a ICE, tocan a tu puerta, NO abras la puerta. Primero, pídeles que pasen una orden judicial por debajo de la puerta. ICE y CBP han usado órdenes que engañan a los miembros de la comunidad para que se rindan sin el debido proceso.
3 Orden judicial versus orden de ICE Una orden judicial es una orden oficial emitida por un juez o magistrado que autoriza el registro de una propiedad privada, la confiscación de bienes o el arresto basado en causa probable de que se está cometiendo o se ha cometido un delito. Una orden judicial debe:
• Especificar la dirección exacta que se va a registrar.
• Indicar el período de tiempo en el cual debe llevarse a cabo el registro.
• Describir específicamente el lugar o persona a registrar, o ambos, así como los objetos a confiscar.
• Ser emitida por un tribunal y estar firmada por un juez o magistrado.
4 Esto es una orden judicial. Sí autoriza a los agentes a entrar a tu casa o tu automóvil. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden judicial, las flechas señalan las secciones relevantes resaltando que se trata de una ORDEN DE LA CORTE, que tenga su NOMBRE Y DOMICILIO CORRECTO y que tenga la FIRMA DEL JUEZ "JUDICIAL OFFICER"
5 Orden judicial versus orden de inmigración Los agentes de ICE a menudo utilizan órdenes administrativas para engañar a las personas y obtener acceso a sus hogares, automóviles y pertenencias. Este documento es emitido por una agencia federal, como el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) o ICE, y reclama autoridad para arrestar a una persona sospechosa de violar las leyes de inmigración.
Estas órdenes administrativas no son firmadas por un juez o magistrado neutral, sino por un oficial de inmigración, como un agente de ICE o un juez de inmigración.
Una orden administrativa de ICE NO autoriza a los oficiales de ICE a entrar en un lugar donde exista una expectativa razonable de privacidad, sin consentimiento.
• Si esto sucede: Declara claramente que no das tu consentimiento para que entren, pero no resistas físicamente. Si los oficiales de ICE ya han entrado, pídeles que se retiren y declara que no consientes un registro.
6 Esto es una orden administrativa de ICE, la cual NO autoriza a los agentes a entrar en tu casa. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden administrativa de ICE, las flechas apuntan a las secciones relevantes resaltando que UNA ORDEN DE LA MIGRA NO LE DA PERMISO AL OFICIAL ENTRAR A SU CASA...PERO y que está FIRMADA POR UN 'OFICIAL DE INS' Y NO POR UN JUEZ O MAGISTRADO.

Warner asks "What happened to the tolerant left?"
Elle replies, smiling "Who said we were tolerant?"
Warner continues "I thought you were supposed to be tolerant of all beliefs!"
Elle looks confused "Why would we tolerate bigotry, inequity, or oppression?"

Heard about their problematic takes before I ever came across any of their videos, so I didn't even bother, but holy shit, that's a bad take.
Watch how loads of "progressive" folks continue supporting them because they don't see ableism as a real issue worth taking seriously..🙄
