Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick.
They can’t “try harder” to be well.
It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough.
Disability is not a moral failing.
Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t.
Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time

I will be joining the March to Gaza with the Canadian delegation.
This is a peaceful global march led by citizens of the world to support the people of Gaza and demand an end to this inhumane blockade, and ensure an opening of a permanent humanitarian corridor.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.
