People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

As a society we must do a better job of listening to disabled people. As the incomparable Alice Wong used to say… we’re oracles. We can offer a window into what comes next for you and your loved ones. We have wisdom to share. We also know how to fight systems of oppression.

Disabled people are forced to regularly “prove” they’re still disabled to maintain the meagre benefits they receive. Mitch McConnell doesn’t even have to prove he’s competent in order to vote & be paid. There’s no transparency. This should enrage you.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not laziness or a lack of effort. It’s a part of the human condition. People get sick. Bodies break down. It’s a minority group you can join any time.

People don’t fake disability … they fake being well. They play through the pain. They say they’re “fine” when they’re suffering tremendously. They do this because our capitalist, ableist society demands it. Disabled people are discriminated against & told to “try harder” 🧵

Deregulation in the US will harm the most vulnerable first Disabled people who are extra dependent on the supply chain Those with food & med allergies who can’t easily switch brands. Those with food insecurity relying on food banks who can’t know if the food has been recalled. This is by design.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Remember: cynicism is a trap. The billionaire class and their GOP lackeys want us to fall into hopelessness so they can have it all without any resistance. It costs them nothing and costs us everything. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

When you’re disabled, people will treat you like you’re broken. They’ll act like you’re in the wrong no matter what you do. They will insinuate you could “try harder”. They will blame you for their discomfort. Your disability is not your fault. People just can’t face it.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

When disability happens to you, you won’t be able to just “try harder”. The social supports you think magically appear? They won’t show up. The medical system will let you down. Friends & family will abandon you. You will realize disability advocates were right all along.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

We have the means to provide everyone with housing, healthcare, childcare and basic income. Suffering is a policy choice. Those in power would rather hoard the wealth than see everyone equally provided for. If everyone had their basic needs met, the world would change.

Ask not whether Trump threatens democracy; ask what our silence permits. Apathy is the one variable we control. Every uncast vote, every disengaged citizen, hands power away freely. Tyranny needs no army when we surrender through indifference. Show up! That…we can change.

Trump’s not the disease. He’s the symptom. The real sickness is the people who still cheer for him, still excuse him, still act like he’s saving something. You’re the reason this country keeps rotting from the inside out. And I’m done pretending otherwise.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If you’re able to mask & choose not to, please understand you’re making it easier for politicians to pass mask bans. Fasicsm thrives on apathy and “othering” Mask bans hurt an othered group the most… disabled people Please wear a mask in solidarity. If we normalize masks they become harder to ban!

When it comes to high profile rape cases like Gisele Pelicot - the anomaly isn’t the heinous nature of the crime - it’s the fact that she got her day in court We must remember most rapes go unreported and/or the perpetrator is never charged. At least 30 of Gisele’s rapists have not been caught 🧵

Rape apologists are often quick to make victim blaming statements such as “what was she wearing? Was she drinking? Why was she alone with him?” The answers don’t matter. Nothing we do, say or wear should make it “ok” to rape us. Also stop suggesting women “arm themselves” as a solution 🧵

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?
