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.

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.

Truthout

You can't play a race card on me either, when you choose to personal side with bigots with a proven bad track record for bigotry. GTFO with that crap with me.

All Power to the People does not mean All Power to the White People. Wake up Amerikkka. All Power to ALL the People. #DecolonizeYourMind #YourLiberationIsMyLiberation #BlackLiberationIsWhiteLiberation

You can be #antiracist & still not be OK with #whitewashed #POC who choose to work for #government & are #Zionazis.
If I based everything on race alone - I'd never have confronted Asian sellout politicians nor chose to go no contact with several whitewashed, capitalist jerks in my own family.
Only fools will keep volunteering to defend any politician.

Last time Luke & I saw each other was 2022 -> we were chasing Justin Trudeau around BC Leg, trapped BC MLAs inside; they had to leave their cars & be snuck into chauffered cars through side doors. Then, Trudeau's private driver called cops on me - for standing 10 feet away, saying absolutely nothing & just mean glaring at her 🤣
Cops told her to just move the vehicle because I broke no laws by just glaring.

Horgan & Trudeau had to move their meeting room 3 times that evening 😅 Every time we found the room they were in, we gathered outside & by doors - making a ton of noise. They kept running from one meeting room to another, like cockroaches when light is shined upon them. It was pretty hilarious how much cops they sent to try to get us to stop making noise & chasing dirty politicians inside. Absolutely ridiculous how terrified politicians are when citizens demand public transparency, public accountability & to stop being colonial capitalist wankerbutternoodles.

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.

The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.

I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

Later this week.
I'll talk about my feelings about how most folks are socially conditioned to quickly judge loud, angry POC women but not conditioned to understand why a lot of us are done with being mistreated/disbelieved/treated lesser than because we don't stay calm/polite when we experience ongoing abuses & rarely are supported during our worst experiences. Most folks (fellow POC are included) are socially conditioned to refrain from judging the polite in public white person, who abuses their white privilege & stays calm, after being shady & abusive.

All of this shitass, social programming is fucking ass backwards. It sets up a perpetual system of putting polite talking, calm, perpetrators, over not polite talking, not calm, victims.
