People with pre-existing conditions are not expendable.
The vulnerable are not expendable.
The elderly are not expendable.
Children are not expendable.
The disabled are not expendable.
If we planned around protecting the most vulnerable in society, we would all be better off.

“They’re cutting Medicaid so they can get rid of the people taking advantage of it.”
Actually, the amount of people taking advantage of Medicaid are probably less than 1%. Why? Because in order to qualify, you basically have to live under the poverty line. You can barely survive. It’s not a luxury.

When many people state that the lockdowns caused the deepest depression they’ve ever experienced, just a reminder that many disabled people are still in lockdown, five years later. Isolation is a form of torture. I want to live in a world where disabled people are wanted in society.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.
Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.
No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Hey, white disabled people, you can still be racist even though you’re disabled. Let’s celebrate Black people and not forget that if it weren’t for the Black Panthers, we wouldn’t have the ADA. Minorities who stick together, thrive together.

This New Year’s Eve, it’s completely okay if all you did was survive this year. Times are getting harder and harder and honestly, it’s a miracle some of us made it this far. You don’t need to finish the year strong. Finish rested. We all need to be gentler on ourselves and each other.

Banning masks is a disability rights issue. I’ve almost died from a common cold multiple times. It’s not just about COVID. If you’re banning masks, you’re actively excluding those like me from accessing those spaces. Disabled people deserve to be in society.

We’re making moves on our end to find an electrician, notify our landlord, and are prepared to withhold rent as necessary. This building is illegal as fuck!

To be disabled is to be radical. Many of us are forced to depend on others, rest, and be vulnerable. We’re basically forced to behave in ways that non-disabled people are taught not to do and I think that’s one reason why we make them uncomfortable.
