1/3: My brother, Darryl Lynn Fussell, II was murdered by police last night while experiencing active psychosis. As I prepare for the prospect of his mugshot appearing on the internet and racists saying he deserved it, I wanted to share these photos of who he really is.
NEW: Researchers at @UCLA found the deaths of some 30 people in LA County jails were classified as "natural" despite evidence of physical harm done to their bodies. Researchers were only given access to 59 of 292 autopsy reports to analyze due to security holds by @LASDHQ.
Masks should be required of protestors from organizers because otherwise what you’re asking disabled people to do is to protest people who don’t care if they live or die while standing alongside people who don’t care if they live or die either.
I'm immune compromised and 2 docs recommend that I NOT receive 2nd dose of COVID vaccine due to allergic reaction to 1st shot. @CDCDirector, despite all of this and multiple chronic complex conditions, #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy, and so are others who are #HighRiskCOVID19.
There are many of you under the assumption none of this applies to you, but the @CDCgov ‘s negligence is disabling people and then disposing of them.
This is about everyone.
#MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
disabled people should not have to tell the cdc that their lives are valuable they should not have to create #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy for a disease control center to effectively control disease they should not have to beg to be heard and seen and protected I am so so angry
When the ACA was under attack, disabled people showed up & saved health care for everyone. Then we worked hard to win elections. Now the admin we helped put in office finds it "encouraging" that we are the ones dying in a pandemic they have failed to manage. #NoBodyIsDisposable
#MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy it took me forever to come to terms with the fact that my basic life is worthy, because I never saw myself as disabled. I never had labels for anything, it was just “Addie does that weird thing” but now that I KNOW who I AM, the CDC says I’m unworthy?👊🏼💥
the use of words like “only” when making statements like “it’s only the vulnerable who are dying,” tells me exactly all i need to know about how much you value my life & what you think of disabled people. #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
I’m not disabled but it’s absolutely imperative that the lives of those who are disabled are not jeopardized further.
It shouldn’t be celebrated that they could be the only ones severely affected in a way that able bodied people aren’t. @CDCDirector#MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
The Biden administration won the 2020 election in no small part to disabled people with whom he commiserated while on the campaign trail.
You’d think with all that pandering he’d do a better job at hiding this negligence.
#MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy
At least the last administration was clear they didn't care about disabled people. This admin told me in countless meetings & listening sessions we wouldn't be left behind. BULLSHIT.
I'd rather be harmed by an honest enemy than a false ally.
