I was made for this moment. So were you. We're the ones who are here. There's no one else. Freedom is counting on us. I'm glad. I'm up to it. What are we supposed to do, say we have bone spurs and let someone else bear the burden? Hell no. Too many people before me made the ultimate sacrifice.

Pro Tip From John Pavlovitz

Many people think disability is a tragedy - but they don’t ever speak with disabled people to see how they feel. They don’t consider whether our lives could be better with proper social supports, accessibility and less systemic ableism.

One of reasons I fear slippery slope into eugenics with assisted dying policies is how little outrage there is when disabled people are harmed When DNRs are put on us without consent. When - like Stephanie Lavoie - we’re denied the care we need to survive & do MAiD instead No one speaks up for us

Aligning with #DisabledPeople and #DisabledCommunities is literally the first test of your commitment to #FightingFascism. If you don't know any disabled people, haven't taken the time to understand their concerns, and aren't prepared to fight like hell to protect them, it's time for you to start.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the irrepressible love of freedom in our land, the wisdom of our Founders and successive generations who built strong democracy, and the joyful goodness of our families. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

We need to stop using terms that mean "people of low intelligence" (idiot, moron, etc.).to describe people who are bigoted, willfully ignorant, science deniers, etc. Low intelligence is not equal to hateful. Some of the most loving, accepting people are people that are intellectually disabled.

Sexism against women you don't like is still sexism. I don't know who needs to hear that, but it's true.

"The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There is no innocence. Either way, you're accountable." ~~Arundhati Roy

I’m sure most of you remember Trumps statement at the beginning of his first term. “I only hire the best people.” Well, about half those people are in jail. So here he goes again!
