Once again mental illnesses are medical conditions. They are not moral issues. Assuming evil ppl automatically have mental illnesses or assuming mental illnesses make ppl evil is sanist. Yes this incl personality disorders.

While this case may have been “resolved” in January, we want to share how harmful law enforcement is, especially when interacting with deaf/disabled people. No amount of training/reform can truly change this. The path toward liberation is not over yet… #DisabilitySolidarity

From the letter: "A LA County Sheriff’s deputy shot Isaias Cervantes, a 25-year-old, unarmed, deaf, autistic man. The violence Isaias experienced is fueled by a law enforcement culture that routinely dehumanizes those with intellectual, mental, and physical disabilities."

On January 8, 2022, the LA County DA dropped charges against Isaias Cervantes. This comes after Disability Rights Groups Submit Letter to LA County District Attorney Urging dismissal of all charges with prejudice against Isaias Cervantes. Full letter: disabilityrightsca.org/latest-news/di…

Covid is not the flu. Covid is a virus that attacks the organs & causes longterm illness in a significant number of people who contract it, even if they have mild symptoms at the time. Covid is a mass disabling event.

Disappointed that I am pressured to go to work⁠—in person⁠—when feeling sick. #Capitalism destroys our futures. I dream of a future where our leaders are better AND I don't need to work in/for a place like this. I wish we learned and adjusted more during a global pandemic.

2/ The experience is awkward and less than illuminating for me, an actual blind person. Let's be real, knowing that someone is wearing a green shirt doesn't tell me much. Post people seem to reduce themselves to clothes, gender, and skin color.

As a DeafBlind person, I feel torn about the trend of people describing their physical appearance during meetings for those who are blind/low vision. I appreciate the effort to make things more accessible and inclusive. Truly & deeply, but-- 1/

Patients with chronic illness often have more than one. Right now this fact isn't common knowledge. The more issues a person goes to their doctors about - the more they are disbelieved or seen as a hypochondriac. This is dangerous and the complete opposite of how it should be.

Mocking and trying to minimize someone's disability is ableist!! I don't care if it's normalized. It's still WRONG! Trying to argue that someone's disabilities aren't serious or a disability is WRONG. Stop insulting people for the things they can't control.

Ableism in particular is very VIOLENT and prevalent in our society. So I'm glad that people are speaking up on it. Speculating about someone's DISABILITY and saying that they're lying. Or trying to diminish the severity is ABLEIST AF. Believe disabled people!

Seeing people dismiss the severity of Jada's alopecia and saying it's not serious or a disability. Reminds me of the countless times my own disabilities have been dismissed. Being told that I'm lying. Disabled Black women deserve to be believed! We deserve to also be protected!

I'm not so interested in convincing ppl who are currently not disabled that they shld care abt disability bc "one day it will affect them." Rather, I'm interested in exposing how ableism affects all of us already bc it's fundamental to how we organize our society.

Certain demographics think it's funny that Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a bank robber because he wore a mask and shades and wrote a note for money from HIS account But imagine being a disabled Black person who can't communicate verbally or finds it difficult to.

This is important for many reasons that I cant write at the moment. For now, this: erasure of Black liberation politics/struggles/contributions by white disability rights communities continues to impeded the development of a strong disability politic & weakens disability rights.

What many know as "social model of disability" was called the "socio-political definition of disability". Developed from/during/with Black Liberation+Black civil rights struggles, it was the reason for the shift to anti-discriminatory laws & "minority" group model of disability.
