The Sinister History of the Word "Moron," Explained

In this installment of OG History, writer Marlena Scott explains how the word "moron" is tied to the eugenics movement in the United States and is based in racism and classism.

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear

“Want to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”

Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?

We can’t “choose” to get healthy.

Just like we didn’t “choose” to be disabled.

They have no plan for healthcare.

Their plan is to leave us behind.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.

She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.

She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.

She won’t be forgotten.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down:

Thank You Alice Wong

Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.
