   This is furthest thing from changing the subject. This is the subject.

   This is the second step.

   The first step is normalizing the idea that people are dangerous on account of some status.

   The second step is taking away their rights.

   We get to such calls to take away the rights of pregnant people only after a carceral war on drugs normalized—indeed firmly entrenched—an idea that those living with addiction are dangerous.

   We get to the second by way of the first.

     @DaywalkingRedhead @beadsland I hope you don’t see this as changing the topic, but I’ve seen a lot of terrifying discussions centered around pregnant women, people on social media wanting to put them in jail to protect the fetus from potential drug use for example.

     I think it’s psyops trying to get people comfortable with the idea of work camps. Lock the brain damaged up, lock the pregnant people up, lock the drug addicts up, lock the homeless people up . . . It seems like every day I go on social media more and more people are getting behind this idea and screaming for it on the Internet and it’s terrifying to me.

     And what you are doing here is helping to counteract that. Please don’t ever stop.
