“They’re calling it prison abolition, folks. Prishon… prison ab-o-lition. You know about prison abolition? [crowd roars] That’s right. I’ve been reading Angela Davis. An-gee-la. Davis. And I love her! Don’t we love Angela Davis! [Crowd cheers even louder]. That’s right!”
Daniel Aurderer is a shady fuck. He was infamous as a beat cop when I was working as a public defender in Seattle Municipal Court. Not only did he disparage Jaahnavi, he didn't do sobriety tests on her killer, his cop buddy.
This is what we mean when disabled people say you being “inspired” by disabled people and their family just means y’all celebrating systemic failures the evidence of which you all walk by each day, but celebrate us for “overcoming.”

On Friday, Marcia found an air tag on her car, and the tire slashed on another car in front of her home. Despite the attempts to scare her, she still testified today. The defense tried to keep her out of the courtroom by not excusing her. The judge excused her.

This is a social issue that everyone, not just disabled people, need to be concerned about.
Too many disabled people have their mobility aids destroyed by airlines almost every other week. Yet, nothing is being done and abled bodied people excuse it by saying 1/
This Seattle cop was going 40mph over the speed limit when he hit and killed a woman crossing the street.
Then he called in and dismissed his killing by saying she was just a regular person.
He says, "Just write a check."
Niger is one of the biggest uranium producers in the world.
1 out of every 3 light bulbs in France is powered with uranium from Niger, yet over 80% of Niger's citizens have no electricity.
French troops out of Niger!
French troops out of Africa!
I love Seattle.
I still love Seattle.
And I would love it even more if we had FREE 24 HOUR BATHROOM ACCESS. I'm so tired of seeing human feces. This is not a human problem, it is a CONSEQUENCE of our widespread failure to create and maintain public access toilets.
