Everyone deserves safe working conditions, unions are great, support striking workers, and don't exclude disabled people or use ableism as a punchline. Ur life is valuable whether u work or not. Here's a good podcast ep everyone should listen to <3 https://t.co/8DL8eIX3hN — PolitiTweet.org

These ppl would rather lie & put false words in disabled ppl's mouths order to dismiss disabled labor organizers and exclude disabled ppl from their movement, then simply say, "we agree, our movement should be inclusive, let's encourage masking" — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Rn a bunch of ppl are lying, claiming disabled ppl said "strikes are ableist". Literally no one said that!! It's a boogeyman of their own making. It's an absurd statement meant to make it easier to dismiss disabled ppl asking labor organizers to make their spaces more inclusive — PolitiTweet.org

@jerryiannelli Showing people how "kind and accommodating people in labor" are by making up a bald faced lie and putting words in disabled people's mouths — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jerryiannelli yeah, that tweet doesn't say “strikes are ableist”. A disabled person is simply asking (in a thread u cropped) that ppl wear masks (reasonable!) You lied and said people are saying “strikes are ableist”. No one said that. You're lying, and using ableism as a punchline. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jerryiannelli Now, again, why are you lying and saying disabled ppl are saying “strikes are ableist”? No one said that, certainly not disabled people. Why are you using ableism as a punchline? Who does that lie you’re promoting serve? — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jerryiannelli I’m not “siding” with anyone. You lied and said people are saying “strikes are ableist”. No one said that. The OP in question also unequivocally said they support strikes and would never cross a picket line. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

The thing I see a lot is big influencers who have been silent on all other disability issues, including our deaths, over the past 3 years suddenly leveraging their massive audiences to attack random, tiny follower disabled ppl who expresses anger or frustration abt being excluded — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

It’s very telling that the only time a lot of people on here mention ableism is to mock ppl for misapplying it or police disabled people who they believe have gone “too far” (for instance those asking ppl to still mask) — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jerryiannelli The only fanfic here is you saying anyone said strikes are ableist. No one said that, so stop lying about it. And unfortunately many have *not* worn masks during different actions, something u’d know if u paid attn to those involved in disability justice who have called it out — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jerryiannelli What the hell are you talking about? Literally no one said strikes are ableist. Not wearing a mask in the middle of a pandemic is ableist though, and any good organizer recognizes that. Ableism might be a fun punchline for u, it’s not a joke to disabled workers (and non workers) — PolitiTweet.org
