Democrats are leaning into the meme war because they think if they win in culture, they don’t have to win in policy—and no one will notice.

I’m gonna use that. I’m writing it down so I don’t forget.

Yeah, it’s my scooter. 😬

Are there any metal workers in the Philadelphia area that can help me fix a mobility aid?

A lot of you believe in eugenics because it’s the only facet to white supremacy and racism you have access to because if pain and suffering were the prerequisites to not having reproductive choice then no one other than straight, white, Nondisabled men would exist.

As it so happens, when you’re in a private suite alone, you don’t need one.

How long do you think Democrats were sitting on those Epstein emails waiting for an opportunity to release them when they needed a distraction? 

You all honest to God think that the eight Democrats that voted to end the shut down just happen to be people that weren’t up for reelection anytime soon or at all? If you think that I can’t talk to you.

"Democrats will never fully support disabled people because disability is the antithesis of capitalism. It requires we take a step back from always making a profit when it comes to the lives of people who can produce no profit outside of extraction from our for-profit healthcare system."

100% this.

“So, no, Democrats plunging healthcare negotiations … based on the pinky promises of Rs is not a surprise, it is a known factor for disabled people, particularly when you consider that healthcare and disability are trillion-dollar industries in which their donor class is leveraged to the hilt.

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

Private Equity Takes Aim At Disability Services Private equity firms are increasingly investing in services for young people with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities with potentially troubling consequences, a new report warns.

This is another “why” to add to your list:

They literally laughed about not picking up phones to stop a genocide and y’all thought they would stop your own?

The government disables you, culture does the rest.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.

They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

This is why I’m so mean to Nondisabled people.
