You know how I know the left has an ableism problem? Disabled people are *still* isolated in their homes. Do you know how easy a fix that is? Visit us! Have coffee with us in our living rooms, where we can sit comfortably, with our heating pads, and be present with you. Pick us up! A lot of us can’t (or shouldn’t) drive. Come get us and take us to the protest or gathering. It’s not that difficult. Which is how I know it’s an *ableism* problem.
