ableist "on-the-ground" organizers are the performative ones

Disabled people are forced by ableist so-called "leftist" organizations to only engage in "performative" online organizing, while they simultaneously de-legitimize our organizing needs and efforts.

on consent & pandemics

The individualist culture that white supremacist capitalism/ableism propagates is nonconsensually exposing vulnerable people to deadly diseases. You are either actively fighting against that culture, or propagating it.

covid-19 is NOT over

1 in 5 adults who get COVID become Disabled with Long COVID. Stop fucking around with those odds. Wear a fucking mask.

People with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ME have been forcibly detained, even killed by negligence, in psych wards, for decades. Acknowledging our physical disease would mean unravelling the fabric of capitalism. The groundwork has already been laid for the same to happen to people with Long COVID.

covid-19 is NOT over

Abolition, the medical-industrial complex, & covid-19

Neighborhoods could have isolation centers, for caring for sick community members, so that they can recover safely, and not infect their neighbors. But "leftists" need to eat brunch, so we left this crucial work to the state — and now, instead of humane isolation centers, we have jails.

"leftist" organizations that are not Disability Justice-centered are counter-revolutionary.

Show me a "leftist" organization that isn't Disability Justice-centered that is actually revolutionary. Can't? It's because they don't exist.

charity, not solidarity!

the majority of ANTIHEROINE.'s workers and contributors are based in countries of the global minority (white supremacist capitalist western imperialist states).
most of us are informed by our lived experiences of living on the stolen Indigenous Lands now coercively called by colonizers as usameriKKKa, unless otherwise stated, and therefore our publication is usameriKKKa-centric. we openly acknowledge our bias, and our usameriKKKa-centricism.

our red and black logo was designed by amelie, a Blind queer agender vietnamese-usameriKKKan artist and designer.
