I will never for my entire life understand why people are so fucking hostile to the idea that a word they use is violent against disabled people and they shouldn’t say it
We remove racial slurs from our vocabulary easily. Slurs against disabled people are no different, you’re just lazy and ableist

White Canadians and White French specifically. If your first inclination is to poke at Black & Brown people of color when said the PoCs are screaming and pointing at White Americans as the main cause of this then you are not helpful or helping. You are, in fact, a moldy pile of shit.

As a Black Canadian, you're right on the money, honestly. Canada has always tried to whitewash it's own sordid history and position itself as the "moral substitute" to the USA, but doesn't like looking in the mirror for too long.

"But Julie, these people HAVE to de-escalate. They suffer consequences if they don't" I know, babes and that's my point! Cops do not suffer consequences for escalating situations and being violent!

It doesn't have to be the ideal thing, it doesn't have to be huge and splashy, it doesn't have to help millions of people, just pick ONE THING that will use your skills to help people and do it regularly. You will feel SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER.
