A thread about what just happened
I pointed out someone famous was losing a debate because they were using #ableist language.
People rushed to his defense saying that he could never be #ableist And that calling someone neurodivergent a brain dead zombie was not #Ableism
I think this dude is a good dude I think he’s fighting the good fight but he has biases against disabled people that he does not understand even if you don’t mean to be offensive when the community you are harming points it out you have to listen or you’re all talk no ally

This #Thread the most important one I have ever written. #BidenHarris2020Landslide could be the difference between life and death for me and countless other #disabled people. #CripTheVote #ByeDon2020
Can anyone guarantee if heaven forbid #Tre45on wins I won't be thrown in a camp cause I'm #Muslim #Jersey girl? It breaks my heart that this meeting is being framed as negative or shady. #DisabilityTwitter #GH fam you know me I can't keep a secret and I was never asked to.
I am proud to work with #BidenHarris to #BeatTrump like a drum and I have no doubt they are equally proud to work with me a multiple minority. @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris's campaign took the time to sit down with me and my community. #CripTheVote #ByeDon2020
