Violence, who account for a large swath of victims of police violence, who are restrained in schools —sometimes to death, who are fed bleach and electrocuted to “cure” us, who spend thousands more to have the same quality of life, who are told to unalive ourselves because we
Like I’ve been telling you all for years now, these voter restrictions being proposed, signed into law and challenged in court are going to discourage disabled people from voting due to the confusion alone:
