You don't need to "be disabled" for them to label you disabled and throw you away. "ironically" you can "be disabled" and be unable to meet their ridiculous standards of proof and not be able to get the little help that's available.

This is why we need #DisabilityJustice not just #DisabilityRights.
As with most fascist regimes, disabled and homeless people get hospitalized first, then when they run out of beds they get jailed, then when the fascists get tired of constantly failing at it they start getting sterilized, killed, or both.
OH HEY ITS THE EUGENICS OF DISABLED PEOPLE WE ALL TOLD YOU WAS COMING

This past week, I turned in my senior honors thesis, "Ballots of Business, Barriers for Bodies: The Economic Test of Political Participation"! The thesis looks at the opinions in the cases Citizens United and Doe v. Rowe to understand political participation rights and personhood in the U.S.

Pod Save America: We need to create a progressive media ecosystem.

Me: Yes so we don’t need to keep arguing that trans people, disabled folks, and Indigenous people are actually human whenever we talk to the media, right?

Pod Save America: No, we actually think you just need Bill Maher.

Me: 🤦
