Yesterday, four disabled people got murdered, another one severely injured in a care home in #Potsdam (Germany) – and almost all people engaging with this on social media are other disabled people.
Dear activists, dear fellow human beings, where is your solidarity with disabled people? Especially in a country that has a history of systematically killing disabled people, especially those of us being institutionalized?

This morning, I made the mistake to read some of the comments under one of the news articles about the murders. Almost all of them were sympathetic with the (alleged) perpetrator: a nurse working at the care home.
The nurse might have been „overworked“ or „mentally ill“ or both. These are neither the reasons nor do they justify the killing of disabled people as they don’t justify the killing of any human being.

Another newspaper called it the „most successful crime“ that happened in Potsdam in ages. I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m endlessly tired. This type of media coverage is not surprising, it is normalized in an ableist society.
