This is a very hard section with disturbing stories. But if we want to safe guard our communities against exploitation of human vulnerabilities then those horrific human rights topics can't be put away with hope someone else will help... NOT IF WE INTEND THE SYSTEM TO BE FIXED... Will the way we've always done things continue to harm the following generations? Will isolated trauma divide our people? Alone is how we got here... the only way out is for persons to work together.
First the good news...
Vulnerable people nonviolently physically overtaking the U.S. congress to demand needs met certainly has been done before:
The Capital Crawl

...patients escaping exploitative conditions by working together to be free certainly has been done before:
Mathare Mental Hospital
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrvVEHZRt5g
People have stood and resisted both before trouble personally struck:
Protesting criminalizing homelessness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBtuAEgCzCQ
Arrests to legalize women's rights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-wxQTXISM
And during a fall through the system themselves:

Understanding a problem is wider than your own experiences of... is the first step to locating that freedom unity...
But the reaction of the persons responsible for this oppression will always be to divide and compartmentalize that unity into a faux competition.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGHT EUGENICS IN A SOCIETY THAT CRIMINALIZES SUCH HUMAN THINGS AS SLEEP. WHEN 'FIRST DO NO HARM' SUBMITS TO EXPLOITATIVE INDUSTRY THE EVIL OF EUGENICS IS GIVEN A PASS TO EXPLAIN WHY HUMANS AREN'T CONFORMING TO LIFE AS OBJECTS. THE MEDIA SPENT A LONG TIME FEEDING A MYTH: IT WAS DISABLED BODY OR ESSENTIAL WORKER... THE TRUTH IS THAT EUGENICS TARGETED THE POOR AND DISABLED TOGETHER. THE TRUTH IS THAT DISABLED WERE CONSIDERED OBJECTS TRADEABLE TO SYSTEMS OF DETENTION AND THE POOR CONSIDERED BASICALLY DISABLED AND TO BLAME FOR BEING EXPLOITABLE.
Exploitation does not stay confined when it centers on human medical, the nightmare industry starts with the marginalized to exploit and grows stronger whilst ignored.

People will never value all humans equally until these value
people in all our diverse living forms and provide for everyone's
needs to maintain life... ableism and/or poverty aren't niche
issues... yes, some may misrepresent them as such but at it's core
this question concerns the durability
of every human's rights.

No matter what anyone says the fact is that human rights is worth resisting for... even when you and/or I fall into one of those categories where someone devalues our lives... we are all resisting for integral freedom. The division between the vulnerable and the laborer is a myth... do not let it divide you if you seek to exist in a free community.
This site is now under archival-reconstruction... Due to HB 1365 passage in Florida I have had to travel and warn other homeless people of health-based detainment camps the government wants constructed for the homeless and the push to civilly commit Floridians for poverty. In protest I had decided to suspend operations to organize the mutual aid vial share in this state. I support patient choice and recognize we all make different choices... but the government should not force us... and is hypocritical of the Florida government to simply substitute one forced jab with another. I hope to be posting more info as I go... but my priority is warning others at risk of medical detainment about HB 1365's scheduled enactment into force of law. -April
