JUST IN: Trump reportedly called Kamala Harris ‘ret*rded’ in front of Republican donors at a private fundraiser, according to the NYT. YOUR THOUGHTS?

"If you're a leftist and you're on here commenting on disabled leftists' posts about being excluded with responses like:

"Oh, of course we must fight ableism, but you can't expect the majority of people to do X/Y/Z to include just a small number of other people like you."

Then you really need to take a long look at yourself. Are you talking to other minorities like that? Why is it suddenly reasonable to support the 'comfort' of the majority over the wellbeing of others? Do you think that's radical? Why is it so obvious to you that we don't need to adapt to include some people?

I've been seeing this response especially often on requests to mask. You're a lazy comrade and it shows. You're abandoning your disabled peers. Do better."

How Hurtful Words in Politics Affect People with Disabilities

Recently, Donald Trump used insulting words about intelligence to attack political opponents. This kind of language can be harmful because it suggests that people with disabilities are less valuable. This article talks about why using words like "idiot" and "low IQ" is not just mean but also has a long history of causing harm. It's important for everyone, especially politicians, to understand the impact of their words and be more careful with their language. Read more about this important topic at News Arena India.

I have the photoshop skills to blur out the number plate, and I WAS going to do that and just complain about the behaviour. Since this man decided he was going to use TWO #disabled bays. Which is really frustrating people if you are disabled there's a REASON you need these spaces! . But when the man saw me, he got extremely abusive towards me. Because he knew what he did was wrong, and obviously didn't care. Then he parked in a regular space!?? So yeah, fcuk him. Why are #audi drivers like this? . What really gets me as well, there ARE bays that face this way just opposite to where he parked... But nooooo... he choose to make things difficult for disabled people. 🙄🙄🙄 . . . . . . . . . #disability #disabilityawareness #car #carpark #audicars #audidrivers #disabilityrights #disabledparking #ablelism (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoT-gBDajq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The thing I didn't understand about being disabled until I became disabled is how terrifying it is to know that when things get bad I am utterly reliant on other people. I almost felt ashamed for that fear, too, as if *I* am the reason I might have to worry about not having close community and loved ones someday.

But then I realized that it is absolutely batshit wild that the scariest part of having a poorly understood chronic neurological condition is not the pain, discomfort, etc -- but that I, a human being, the most social animal ever, might not have enough other humans around to help care for me. Or that I might not be able to *afford* to pay them to be. On a planet with 8 billion other people.

What a mockery of a society we have created.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we're celebrating the change-makers who push us forward.

Judy Heumann was an internationally recognized Disability Rights Activist, known as the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement.” She's celebrated for her role in developing and passing some of the most important disability rights legislation in American history.

  As a child Judy was denied the right to attend school — and later to become an educator — because of her wheelchair use. Both injustices galvanized her life-long commitment to the fight for equal rights for Americans with disabilities.

ID: A collage-style two slide carousel depicting Judy Heumann both as a young activist and in her more recent years, using a combination of color and black and white photographs. With text describing Judy's career (transcribed above).

Disability Rights

At school I was invisible, nobody saw me. I morphed into the background, I wasn’t popular. I was ignored throughout my school life. Although my school didn’t know I was disabled, they did know I struggled to make headway with my schoolwork. That should have rung alarm bells, but it didn’t, and I continued to mentally struggle.

Institutions

Children can be cruel. And while institutions are there to house groups, institutions only work when support mechanisms are in place and everyone works together, and for the greater good.

In school I was continually being picked, continually being harassed by teaching staff for not paying attention, when the reality was my mental disability stopped me from easily concentrating, answering questions and being able to join in conversations and lessons.

Discrimination

I felt stupid most of the time and I was being discriminated against. When I mentioned to my PE instructor, the High Jump wasn't a good fit for me, I was told there was no concession on opting out of the high jump, even though I’d mentioned a leg length shortening and a muscle tone issue. Discrimination is discrimination and I wasn’t being listened to.

Mental Health

Being born in the 60’s when mental health, emotional health and physical health all existed, they were a thing. But disability wasn't on people's radar. Fast forward to The Equality Act 2010 and UN Convention and disability and people’s perceptions on disability began to change. (Source: https://www.gov.uk)

All it would take is for people to start working together. No child or adult, no one with mental health or physical health issues should be discriminated against. It’s all in how you choose to see and deal with people with disabilities. Where the human condition is flawed, we can change, we just have to want to. We should want to do better for those who need us to.
