I did NOT testify 3x in Congress, fight my way through chronic illnesses, chronic pain, live with Lupus and two cancers to give up now. We have come too far in this life. I have said this many times and I will say it again: I will fight until my last breath & I will NEVER GIVE UP. You are NOT alone.

Covid is a social justice issue - it always has been. We need to recognize it & start providing:
- Free tests & respirators
- Paid time off
- Clean air in public spaces
- Mandatory masks in healthcare
- Universal healthcare
We won’t beat COVID until everyone is protected

Long COVID is a huge invisible problem in universities for both staff and students. And the problem is only growing bigger with each new infection in this unmitigated ‘let it rip’ environment. I am fighting for better awareness, protections and help for faculty and students

Have you eaten something? Have you taken your meds?
Contrary to hustle culture, there is no valor in unnecessary suffering. You are worth taking care of. Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, try to take a walk outside and other screen breaks. One thing at a time.

As Trump continues to announce horrifying policies (and appointments) that show us he plans to do EXACTLY as we feared - I want to remind people that mask bans are already enacted in some U.S. states.
These ableist and discriminatory bans put lives at risk and medical exemptions are NOT the answer.

I’ve had people ask me why I’m concerned about mask bans given there’s a “medical exemption”
Mask bans are a return to ugly laws that will further isolate & exclude disabled people from society.
Medical exemptions are inadequate & leave many people behind (like healthy covid cautious people) /1 🧵

There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them.
Please don't leave disabled people behind in your revolution. Please do not see us as sacrifices for the greater good, or dead weight. Please see our lives as worth saving, too.
