I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Prime Day is a great time to boycott Amazon and send a clear message that you don’t support the Bezos behemoth That said, please be kind to disabled people who can’t boycott Many rely on Amazon for necessary supplies and are unable to get them any other way Help build networks of community care

Disabled people tried to warn you. We were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. Fascists will always come for the “useless eaters”. They want to institutionalize us. Hide us away from the rest of society. Remove our supports so we either die or disappear. It’s eugenics.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

That’s such an important point. There was a case here where a quadriplegic man went to the ER and was denied a special mattress and wasn’t regularly turned. He developed horrible pressure sores and ended up doing MAiD because he “didn’t want to be a burden”. That ER made him feel like a burden

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.

I've covered local government meetings for over 20 years, in a city where the mayor notoriously makes up rules to curb anything critical of city hall, especially clapping. So, it's worth a quick🧵 on how governments use rules of decorum to intimidate the public, even to throw opponents in jail.

@mayor.nyc.gov I know that Affordability is your top priority, as well as it should be. However, if your team has any time and budget to spare, could you add more benches to the subway stations, please? Art installations are GENERALLY good, but there are so few places for REAL people to sit.
A photograph of the 14th Street subway station on the A, C, and E lines.  Significant stretches of both the uptown and downtown platforms are in frame.

A 6-person bench is the foremost object in this picture; it is the ONLY bench visible in this picture, demonstrating that there are extremely few places for waiting passengers to sit.

One of the slots on the bench is occupied by a metal sculpture of a small cartoon man.  No human adult can sit in that slot as a result.
