@liamhegan They make a big difference anywhere you wear them bc they prevent transmission! Outdoor transmission is common, especially in a crowd. And newer variants are significantly more transmissible. It’s a big misconception that ur safe from covid outside. Ur safer, but far from safe — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@lachancenaomi27 @JortsTheCat @_bahhumbug Sure, but I don’t think my tweets have “alienated every single person in the labor movement”. Using a massive following to dogpile a random disabled ppl w/ ableist harassment, however, calling them ghouls and lying abt what they said is alienating, that’s what I take issue with — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@lachancenaomi27 @JortsTheCat @_bahhumbug Yes I think COVID protection is a huge labor issue, probably one of the most important things right now. I think the labor movement should continue to advocate for worker protections, paid sick leave etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@trillmoregirls Ya my thread is abt the reaction to the OP, which is what I take issue with. I don’t trust these big accts that say zero abt ableism as a pandemic is raging, then come guns blazing at a random disabled person w 1k followers for not articulating themselves well in a tweet — PolitiTweet.org

@trillmoregirls I do plenty on the ground here in LA and I have seen lack of masking in the past year first hand. I didn’t say labor organizers are ableist, I said online influencers who only come out of the woodwork to dogpile tiny acct disabled ppl are not being inclusive or showing solidarity — PolitiTweet.org

@OrganizerMemes @GASLIGHTER_ Definitely not defending the original QT. It’s nothing I’d ever say and I get why it’s making ppl mad. But this person has literally 1k followers, big accounts directing waves of ableist hate and misrepresenting what they said is just fruitless/harmful. They just want inclusivity — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@boomer_humor @modernistwitch Yes! I think it articulates my view on all this stuff very well. I suggest you give a listen! — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Boringstein Zero people are “smearing” striking workers. The OP said repeatedly they support the strike and the workers, which u conveniently ignore. Regardless, many in the labor movement have not been inclusive. Ur proving my point with this bad faith nonsense — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@modernistwitch Unfortunately “the labor movement” is not always inclusive, especially recently in the past year on Covid issues. Nowhere did the OP say “strikes are ableist” so stop lying about that, they said over and over on their thread they supported the union/strike https://t.co/F0XNugEZWr — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@mrdrleland It’s not a direct quote. Nowhere on the thread does it say “strikes are ableist”. Stop lying and putting words in disabled ppl’s mouths in an effort to discredit them — PolitiTweet.org

@mrdrleland They’re talking about unmasked action, which does hurt disabled ppl. The person said repeatedly they support the striking workers, would never cross a picket line, yet Jerry and others continue to lie abt what they said. Stop lying. No one said “strikes are ableist” it’s made up — PolitiTweet.org
