To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

There’s so much hatred for disabled people. People assume we’re faking. They assume we can “positive think” our way to better health. They assume we want to trample their rights to a “normal” existence. They vilify us because they’re terrified of becoming us.

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd. We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus. It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling. People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.

As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.

Eclampsia is deadly. The ONLY treatment is terminating the pregnancy/delivering the baby. Tierra Walker developed eclampsia before her fetus was viable … so she was left to die (and the fetus died too). Why? Because of the Texas abortion ban. This should be considered murder.

Members of the Senate and Congress get healthcare for life. They get paid sick leave. They can disappear for months without explanation and keep their jobs. Americans are fighting for healthcare. Sick leave and maternity leave are non existent. They get all the benefits they deny everyone else.

Sharing my 🧵 on Assisted Dying and why many disabled people fear a slippery slope This is based on Canada’s MAiD It’s been “offered” to me when I was clear I wanted treatment My condition wasn’t terminal I don’t oppose the right to die, but we must ensure disabled people have the right to live.

Whatever your thoughts are on the Clancy mistrial, pay attention to the underlying ableism in many responses. People are saying she should have “tried harder” to ignore the voices. That if they were psychotic they would just “choose not to be”. This isn’t how disability & mental illness work.

They make it nearly impossible to get disability benefits because they want you to give up and/or die before they pay out. They force you into legislated poverty. Treat you like a scammer. Demoralize and dehumanize you. Even IF approved you’re not given enough to survive. This is eugenics.

Not surprising because the only reason some fool men split sports by gender is because women started beating men when they competed together. Couldn’t have the weaker, fairer sex showing up the patriarchy, could we? Cowards.

Disabled people are not “less than”. Our worth is not contingent on whether we’re able to work. Disability is not a moral failing, it’s the only minority group you can join at any time. Most people will end up disabled, yet they judge us and assume they will be the exception. Very few are.

Disability and homelessness often go hand in hand. Being sick is expensive. The “crip tax” is real. Benefits force you into legislated poverty and make you give up any savings or security. People don’t want to rent to the disabled. It’s suffering as a policy choice.
