Reposted by Johnnie JaeUnicorns Happen @silvy777.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Every social justice issue is a disability issue. Disability is often caused by the labor market, & one of strongest predictors of being shut out of it. Interdependence builds resilience against authoritarianism. Valuing both the givers & receivers of care is central to rebuilding democracy. ❤️ 21814
