There is no revolution without disabled people #DisabilityJustice
This is not 'the left eating itself' - this is the left having a basic standard against ableism, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR REVOLUTION.
There is NO progressive movement that is inclusive of ableism.

Extremely important to emphasize this. Indie bookstores are growing and can actually thrive...if we support them.
This is simply not true. The number of independent bookstores in the USA doubled between 2016 and 2023. People open indie bookstores every day. We need to support them so they'll stay here.
