We need more abled people to stick up for disabled people right now. They're going after accessibility, 504, IEPs, and RFK wants to put us in labor camps. Yet the ONLY people I ever see talking about this are also disabled.

Don't touch wheelchairs. Unless you are ASKED keep your HANDS to YOURSELF. A wheelchair is PART OF a person. That's like-- picking someone up without their consent. Accessibility aides are PART OF THE BODY so TREAT THEM as such. Or I SWEAR I'll put you in one too, so you can experience this.

They love disabled people in “inspirational” stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism. The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented. Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick. Don’t leave us behind.

I’m not going to lie, for every list I see without disabled people listed as at risk from this administration, my dread grows. We are the easiest group to eliminate. They do it all the time. Pull treatment, minimize risks, get you to believe we don’t count. Don’t matter.

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

COVID was an opportunity to adapt & be a more inclusive society. We could have learned about airborne spread & adopted clean air standards. Improved ventilation. Made more outdoor spaces. Normalized masking. Instead we’ve politicized infection control & made society less safe for everyone

Another day, another attempted mask ban. This time in Maryland. Please, if you stopped masking we really need you to start again. It will reduce the number of Covid and flu cases, but it will also help normalize masks as a health tool. Disabled people need you to help fight these ugly laws:

Last night my partner was having a hard time sleeping and refused to try my weighted blanket out of stubbornness. After a while they humored me, I put the blanket on them and turned on guided meditation, by the time I got back to my side of the bed they knocked out lol

disability is the only marginalized community that you could become a part of at any time in your life. just something to think about the next time you want to call other people parasites; you could be disabled at any moment.

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?

It took me years to admit to myself (and others) that I was disabled. My disabilities are invisible & I used a tremendous amount of energy keeping them hidden Ableism is powerful, and internalized ableism is a difficult thing to wrestle with If society were more inclusive, we wouldn’t be so scared

Disabled folks have been sounding the alarm for years about how these people want us dead (and others too) and people thought us alarmist but that's what a lot of this horrible stuff they're implementing is about. Straight up eugenics.

I haven’t been to therapy since 2023; which I know isn’t that long ago, but I needed it but was reluctant to go back. I’m starting therapy again next week, say you’re proud of me

No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are. Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.

when we say “you can become disabled at any moment” it doesn’t just mean you could have an aneurysm, it also means the state could declare you “unfit” for something that was normal to talk about publicly not long ago.

If Medicaid is gutted most people with intellectual and developmental disabilities will become homeless and live in profound poverty. They did nothing wrong.

Disabled people have been sounding the alarm about fascism for five years now. Pandemics lead to fascism. They excuse the deaths of the most vulnerable first. How do you not become vulnerable like us? Wear a mask! If you become disabled from Covid, they’ll excuse your death too.

Very few people on Medicaid are “lazy” or “refuse to work”. A lot of people HAVE JOBS! There are private contractors, entrepreneurs, hairstylists, lash techs, freelancers etc ON MEDICAID! And then there are the people who CANT work or are underemployed due to disability or illness.

Using ableist language to critique those in power is punching down. You demonstrate how deep your internalized ableism runs every time you do this & the people hurt aren’t the ones you’re aiming insults at. Stop it. #Ableism #Disability #DisabilityJustice #Politics #SocialJustice #Language #Bias

People who say masking is “too hard” really won’t like living with severe chronic illness. Almost everything I used to love to do could be done while wearing a respirator. I can’t do any of them now that I’m bedbound. Your health and the health of others is worth protecting.

I am actually begging people to realize that people who are unable to find employment or are disabled, deserve nice things. It is not outrageous for a poor person with no income to crowdfund pizza, or nuggets, or a laptop, or down payment on a house or something. Like just let people have nice stuff

I’ve been following the increase of bird flu in animal populations for almost a year now watching it get scarier and scarier. Now I’m seeing more non-covid safe people sounding the alarm about the potential. I don’t think I can cope through another pandemic along with everything else going on
