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

We are already facing immense challenges in accessing the care and support we need! With fewer resources, less help, and more barriers ahead, we’re being pushed even further to the margins. It’s time for change! let’s raise our voices together. #Disability #Advocacy #PermissionToBeCurious #Resist

[ID: black background, white text: They strip away protections, limit our choices, and call it fairness. But fairness does not look like erasure. It does not look like forcing people into the shadows. @PermissionToBeCurious @ToBeCurious.bsky.social.]

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.

[ID: black background, white text: When leaders treat disabled people like a joke, it doesn’t just hurt feelings. It reinforces real-world discrimination. It makes it harder for us to be seen, heard, or taken seriously. @PermissionToBeCurious @ToBeCurious.bsky.social]

Oh look, another day of hearing folks say it’s “just a joke” Except it isn’t ever an innocent joke. It isn’t innocuous and it is turning into real-world discrimination. Funny how that works—except it’s not funny at all. Do better.
