Disabled voices are rarely heard in politics. I emailed her show on a whim. To my surprise, they invited me (a nobody) to speak about the ableism of politicians. She took a chance on me when no one else would. Joy deserved better. #DisabilitySky

Every ten minutes.
Let that sink in.
Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members.
This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values.
This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs”
Enough.

Silence is complicity.
Trump calls a woman “piggy”? Speak up.
He calls for the murder of his political opponents? Speak up.
The right starts trying to downplay pedophilia? Starts calling children “barely legal” women? Speak up.
ICE brutalizes someone? Speak up.
We all have a voice. Use it.

Why do we even have senate confirmation hearings?
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

As a long-time admirer of Alice Wong, I’m heartbroken and a bit shaken by her passing. 😢💔
You never think your heroes are going to die, and she was truly a Wonder Woman here on Earth. Alice, you will forever be missed and loved by me and countless others.
Rest in power!

Losing Tinu last year and now Alice. I am heartbroken. There's been way too much loss in the disability community. So many people are now gone. Too many to list.
Both Tinu and Alice both helped shape the person I am today. I wouldn't be alive without their help & support.

It's wrong because it's harm. It's harm because it's trauma. It's trauma because it's nonconsensual. It's nonconsensual because it's forced. Even if it wasn't physically forced it's still nonconsensual as the brain's decisionmaking part is not fully developed til mid to late 20's much less teen age.
Honestly, I have no words for the level of shamelessness trump supporters are heading towards. A trump support asks the question,
"Why is child rape immoral?"
This is where we're at. No words.

This isn’t new. When Nikki Glaser hosted the Golden Globes, she made jokes about serial rapist and abuser Diddy.
Nikki found humor in the fact that R. Kelly is a pedophile. She wouldn't do this to Harvey Weinstein victims. White women rape victims are seen as more worthy of humanity and respect.

We’re not doing “disability accommodations are unnecessary and unfair actually” discourse less than 24 hours after Alice Wong has passed. Absolutely the fuck not, even if it is a perfect example of the kind of shit disabled people have to deal with and why Alice’s activism was and is so necessary.
