My child and I sit inside, forever isolated, no community, no collective care. If pride is a riot, we must celebrate Marsha P Johnson as the leader of disability justice.
She fought for the liberation of Black, Trans disabled folx. She fought for support for HIV care for 2S, Trans and queer folx.
To lead with justice, we must commit to true inclusion,; N95 mask required events, wheelchair access, illness mitigations, isolation policies, anti-ableist training, sensory safe spaces, adult changing stations, tube feeding areas, ASL, BLASL, hand talk, buttons, body language, and AAC user support, and free caregivers.
Disabled folx need celebratory access.
The time for liberating homebound, medic*lly. fr*gile, intellectually disabled children is now!
I’ve learned and unlearned so much about parenting, about inclusion, about a deep praxis of love from my child.
The hardest part of being disabled, and parenting a disabled child is the ways in capitalist society, and the medical system try to shame your love, try to steal your joy.
Don’t let them, lead with reverence.
This is the eugenics, ableist abuse disabled folx have been warning everyone about. Medicaid is essential for our basic survival.
The fact that our disabled comrades were abused by capital police, and wheelchair users had their hands zip tied proves the fascist, capitalist emprie will do anything to silence our dissent. We must continue the fight.
Thank you to the comrades for continuing the fight for collective liberation! There is no liberation without disability justice! #ableism #medicaid #DisabilityJustice #disabilityliberation

While playing at the local accessibility playground with my child, I noticed a sw*stika recently painted on the ground.
It’s not an “accident” or a “coincidence” that this individual choose to use the n*zi symbol that represents eugenics towards intellectually disabled children in the one safe space that disabled folx have to play.
This is fascist control in a pro-eugenics statehood. And throwing unmasked parades in the streets with “silly costumes” isn’t doing shit. We need true liberation for disabled kids and revolutionary care. #eugenics #ableism #DisabilityJustice #disabled #liberation #fascism #antifascism
I want my child to live in a world where medical providers care more about supporting, learning from, and celebrating disabled kids instead of shielding abusive medical providers.
Ongoing medical abuse, objectification, and surviving forced eugenics has been a foundational element of the medical system. The time for liberating homebound, medic*lly fr*gile intellectually disabled kids is now!
Please speak out against the hate, and unlearn the supremacist systems of oppression. My child ’s life and the lives of all intellectually disabled kids who are medic*lly fr*gile depend on it! #eugenics #ableism #disability #liberation #MedicalIndustrialComplex
