Disability is traditionally viewed through a privileged lens making it difficult to see disability in marginalized ppl/communities. This working definition of ableism addresses gaps in the traditional framing of disability+ableism. https://t.co/fBXXHn1aUM

Masking and COVID safety are “unreasonable” to abled people. But for someone already disabled by COVID, the CDC’s advice is simply to practice perfect COVID safety- forever. Is masking unreasonable? Or is this situation unreasonable? My latest: https://t.co/CLXiPnmdvm

Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.” President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

What about sick and Disabled people who can't even access emergency healthcare? I'm immunocompromised. When I went to A&E this month, I waited almost 9 hours for medics to tell me my symptoms warranted admitting me, but infections were so rife on wards, I'd he unsafe there.
We're putting job advisors into GP surgeries across England & Wales as part of our #PlanforChange to help more sick & disabled people into work. It's time to stop treating health & work in isolation. That's why we've announced an extra £167 million investment in #ConnecttoWork

This is going to be a controversial one but I want to start a discussion about just how many chronically ill and disabled people are refused pain relief on the grounds of 'addiction'. I've had receptionist say to me "oh you're just a drug addict".

One of the consequences of the political & public health failure on COVlD continues to be that people who are immunocompromised have no other recourse than to isolate & it's often ineffective. We need public funding for PPE, transmission surveillance, policy, & leaders who 😷

The Indivisible Project was never grassroots. Born from a “disrupt town halls” guide after Trump’s election, it now scripts protests, pays demonstrators, and trains activists in media tactics. Backed by Soros and Tides money, Indivisible manufactures outrage that looks

Doctors, unless really pushed in a corner, will never diagnose you with a post-COVID health issue. They do not want to mask, they do not want to change their lives. If they diagnose you, that is admitting COVID is bad and we need to change. I should've realized all that sooner.

Those of us living with chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”. Once folks heard Covid was only a risk to the vulnerable they couldn’t wait to drop precautions That’s eugenics The vulnerable matter too Also, it’s a risk to everyone

Children with special needs are being denied services in #OntEd because Doug Ford has cut education funing and refuses to update the aprcial education funding model to reflect current needs. Kids are suffering. https://t.co/8fVyz3dsHZ

My uncle booked his flu & covid vaccines for this Autumn. Turns up to have them & gets turned away for covid as he’s not 75 (he’s 74). There are so many people in this position. Trying to do the right thing to protect themselves & denied. Anyway, told him to mask up in public 👍🏼

There is no data monitoring system across the UK for Covid that current accurately reflects community or hospital prevalence of infection. We are at least 4 years deep into NHS Covid denial & clinical bias against doing a test is real. This makes even hospital numbers inaccurate.
