“Critical disability theorists argue that racism [xenophobia, transphobia, etc.] and ableism operate jointly, intensifying and borrowing from each other. These phenomena, along with other forms of oppression, thus call for intersectional analysis.” - Sami Schalk Cc: Selma Blair

Children with disabilities in Gaza have nowhere to go and are struggling to escape Israel’s bombs. And UNICEF estimates about 1,000 children have suffered limb amputations since Israel’s attacks began.

Albuquerque police killed more people last year than nearly any other police department in the country. If recent history is any indication, the officers involved will never be tried for the shootings. Via @SearchlightNM sfnm.co/3roPY2c
Hundreds of police killings, two prosecutions, no jail time

He fits! Azores Airlines claims the only way a service dog can fit is by having a disabled person sit alone next to an empty seat. Instead of making assumptions based on a dog’s weight, airlines should ask us how we’d like to fly with our dogs. #RightsOnFlights 1/5
Azores Airlines has tiny planes. Mylo, a German Shepherd dog, sleeps on the floor of a plane. Most of his body is in the floor in front of my seat, but his head and shoulders extend in front of the seat next to mine. My feet rest on a metal bar beneath my chair, while my travel companion gets to plant his shoes firmly on the floor. No, I’m not complaining; I love accommodating Mylo!
