@avilewis Any politician who truly cares about wellbeing of all citizens, not just the lives of privileged people, would spearhead much better, preventative public health policies. A sustainable workforce, requires a strong rather healthy population. How every political party/politician here has normalized getting infected with covid multiple times - when that's preventable - is not true leadership. Long covid disabilities have hampered a lot of prior workforce & is continuing to strip more people from workforce. Not a single political party has any idea on how to deal with increasing funds needed to help newly disabled folks - who are unable to keep working with their long covid issues & with other medical issues triggered by covid infections like TB, Lyme disease, neurological dysfunctions & multiple organs damages - to name but a few that has been directly attributed to covid infections.

Will you wait until you or someone you deeply love to die or become disabled from covid, before you step up to lead by example? You'd be the first & millions of us would support you with leading better, by living example & demonstrating your words are not empty but you actually do care about disabled folks & every citizen, even most of you who normalized covid - when it should've never been normalized.

@avilewis Bonnie Henry removing mask mandates resulted in my Dad getting infected by #unmasked hospital staff. He died from covid cardiac arrest in 2023. This was government sanctioned #murder by #eugenics policies. Every single political party has failed to protect citizens, especially most vulnerable ones. Every single politician has normalized eugenics. That will end up costing provincial & federal governments, millions, if not billions to deal with long covid & many other preventable health issues. You have an opportunity to do better & lead by a more humane, not eugenics, living example. Start by normalizing wearing masks indoors again.

@avilewis I wish you had worn an N95 mask to show all #PeopleWithDisabilities that you care more than other politicians about #DisabledLives & are against #eugenics in #PublicHealth policies. We have been failed by every single political party in Canada & are treated like none of our lives matter to any of you politicians.

Ableism Enables All Forms of Inequity and Hampers All Liberation Efforts. Ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control and disappear disabled and nondisabled people alike.

In this engaging interview, Talila A. Lewis argues that ableism has deep implications for every other marginalized identity. In short, ableism, according to Lewis, is at the root of other powerful hegemonic sites — from race and class to colonialism and nationality. In this way, they uncover the ways in which ableism insidiously operates across space and time. As an abolitionist community lawyer, educator and organizer, Lewis has focused on abolishing the medical-carceral-industrial complex and highlighting the inextricable links between ableism, racism, classism, and all other forms of oppression and violence.

I'm super happy that former #BCGreens MLA opted to go into helping #Indigenous #Wsanec peoples - instead of trying to beat dead set for fascism-neoliberal asses with #BCNDP corporate lobbyist loyal sellouts.
Especially with people in that party who have #racism & ableism issues.

FYI - I asked a public direct question about how much unmasked Greens are normalizing #ableism & Emily - their new BC Greens leader - never responded. She has an active account here too. Their federal leader, Elizabeth May - is #disabled & chose to stop masking a long time ago too.

No political party in BC or Canada really care about #PeopleWithDisabilities.

If you're still masking, thank you! If you stopped, but you're able to wear a mask, now is the perfect time to start again! Masking not only protects you from COVID(and flu etc), but also helps protect your loved ones and others. It's a great way to show community care.

@Lazarou @rlstone4dems Fascists see disabled folks as weak & unworthy of living. They want to use eugenics to wipe us out. They enact public policies to enact their eugenics & non-disabled people are falling for that crap by agreeing to normalize social murders.
Disabled folks are some of the strongest people on this planet. We've had to continually adapt ourselves to a world, a society, that continues to underestimate us. A society which continues to dehumanize us. A society that treats us like unwanted outcasts. We fight for our lives, daily, amidst all of that. We deserve dignity, respect & human rights. We will fight until our deaths for those rights to exist.

Not a single political party in BC cares about #CovidSafety. All of them have opted to go along with #eugenics #PublicHealth policies. Further marginalizing people like me, my Mom, every disabled person, every elderly person, every child & every cautious citizen who is still trying to prevent getting sick from #covid & other #AirborneIllnesses. We have been abandoned by every single politician in BC & federally too. This is government folks doing passive #dehumanization of us. Our lives matter even if they #dehumanize us by normalizing public health eugenics.
