Do you actually know what Disability Justice means, or are you putting together "Disability" & "Justice," 2 words you know the meaning of separately, & assuming its meaning? 👀
If so, PLEASE take just a few moments to educate yourself about the 10 Disability Justice principles from Sins Invalid! 🙏🏽

As a registered social worker for 15 years until my regulatory body failed to call for a ceasefire after witnessing genocide for all of 2024, a writer who is extensively published on equity issues, & a fat brown queer disabled immigrant woman on Turtle Island, we must discuss Disability Justice! 👀

Something totally weird and out of character for Chuck Schumer. He actually voted no on the current deal to end the shutdown: "I am voting NO,” Schumer said before the vote.

Extra infuriating that this dodge is happening right as Trans Day of Remembrance approaches.
Remember that Brianna Ghey was not killed by a phone, but by 15-year-olds with knives, acting upon hate taught to them by the UK media and government.
