No, popular left wing accounts, the video of protesters getting arrested today are not just “the people” getting fed up.

These are disabled activists acting deliberately and in a manner we have consistently had to because nondisabled people don’t show up.

Every time, it’s on us.

If you think what disabled people did by interrupting Congress was cool today, how about you guys stop judging disabled people for trying to get the Americans with Disabilities Act enforced (aka through lawsuits).

The White House called the revocation of Executive Order 11246 “the most important federal civil rights measure in decades." I wrote about this tactic of co-opting the language of racial equality to cement racial INequality in my NYT Mag cover story last year called "The Colorblindness Trap."

Use words people understand. Call them Nazis because they are Nazis and also most Americans still think Nazis are bad. Call them Segregationists because they are Segregationists and also most Americans still think segregation was bad.

I continue to say aloud: Never Trumpers and The Lincoln Project are not friends.

This week reminds that:

We don't have an energy shortage
We don't have an insulin shortage
We don't have a housing shortage
We don't have a teacher shortage
We don't have a labor shortage
We don't have a food shortage

We have a billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny us basic human rights.

Maybe if men actually cared about men’s mental health it wouldn’t only be brought up when women talk about misogyny.

ANYWAY if anybody tells you that they are a “radical“ boss, especially in an already marginalized industry, always ask the trans, Black, and disabled folks who worked with them if that holds up to scrutiny. 😇

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”

When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

I've only been active here for a day an muh feed is night an day compared tae thae scant few time I loaded my tweety feed at all (I mainly was there for the GCs that hadnae moved platforms just yet)

Speaking as an expert on transphobia and the gender critical movement:

Block them. Hide replies. Report them. Do not "debate" them.

The fact that they are campaigning so hard against blocking and in favour of debate/their right to harassment should tell you - it serves their interests to engage.

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other.

Racism will disable you.
Transphobia will disable you.
Long COVID will disable you.
Genocide will disable you.
Climate change will disable you.

Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable.

Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

For no particular reason, look at these fox kits.

Are they not the most beautiful, adorable little furballs ever?
