Autistics, allies, disability advocates, and disability activists, State Representative Sanchez of Massachusetts has expressed approval of the Judge Rotenberg Center. He has brushed off attempts to question his support of the torture of children on American soil. We are invading his Facebook page tonight. Please participate. People with our labels are suffering on his watch. Innocent kids are shocked until their skin burns. He thinks this is a good idea. Show up. Be civil. Do not make threats. Post your own sentiments or links. Post late at night into the early morning hours. We want him to wake up to this. We want people to see it before his staff can take it down. Please signal boost this message. I hope to see you there.

I don’t need to be nice when calling someone out on their privileged, oppressive bullshit. I don’t need to hold their hand and take them on a magical, fluffy journey to the truth. I don’t need to need to consider the feelings of the oppressor if they’ve created an unsafe environment or used…
You are right. However, when you feel like it, being civil is more likely to change someone’s mind than being rude.

If a person of color, a person with a disability I don’t have/understand/am unfamiliar with/ a person with a different sexual or gender identity than me, etc. told me that something I had done, said, posted, etc., was offensive, I would be apologizing, and trying to learn how to be less offensive…
