Limitations on access for disabled people that are more restrictive than access afforded to the general public are exclusionary and discriminatory.

Disabled people are lonely because not only do those of us with physical disabilities have to worry about structural access, but once you’re inside a place where relationships *could* be formed, no one talks to you because of ableism. It’s exhausting. Staying home often feels safer, tbh.

No "personal opinions" on who has human rights.

I am not gonna be a perfect disabled person. I'm gonna say things other disabled people don't say. I'm not gonna fit some pre-determined version of disability. Welcome, I guess.

Just a reminder that vaccines don't cause autism, but if they did, "I'd rather (you) be dead than autistic" is still an extremely bad take! 🦄

It becomes simple: every hungry person who eats today is a win. Someone gets medication, a wheelchair, a tent, whatever they need today, that's a win. Tomorrow we'll do it again. You won't be able to help as much every day, but you can always help make that culture of helping, wherever you are.

The most condescending take is truly “voters didn’t know Trump was that racist.” They either liked it, a lot, or didn’t find it all that objectionable. A reality we have to deal with.

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

Access, civil rights and justice for disabled people should not be subject to compromise.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway."
NOPE.
RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

RFK’s elevation is going to be such a disaster for the autism community. Divisive. Fraudulent. Abusive. Ignorant. Dehumanizing.

Deeply concerning to me that it's being stated that science is apolitical. Sure, in theory it should be. But it is not.
Science is done by people. And the state of politics directly affects scientists.
And science has a history of being used politically, to the detriment of many.

And science has a history of being used politically, to the detriment of many.
In the wake of the U.S. election, Natl Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt has authored a spot-on editorial in Science, stressing the apolitical nature of science and how it remains vital to informing a lot of public policy. Best read all week!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
