[ID: Black background, white text: If someone's entire message is built on dehumanizing others, they aren't a leader--they're a warning. Choose kindness. Choose justice. Choose people. @PermissionToBeCurious @ToBeCurious.bsky.social]

Leadership is not about who can be the loudest, the cruelest, or the most feared. True leadership is about integrity and accountability. It's also how we treat the most marginalized among us. #Disability #Resist #AmplifyDisabledVoices #PermissionToBeCurious #AskListenConnect #Disabled

Unfortunate that any of us have to keep saying this, but here we are.

This isn’t alarmist. It’s happening. When politicians start rolling back rights, disabled people are always among the first to feel it, and if history tells us anything, it won’t stop there.
