For all the people working for a better world but can't seem to ditch the ableism:

This is why I remind people when they use ableist language, as this is White supremacist eugenic thinking. Imani Barbarin has a lot of good stuff on this on her social media (she's not active on Fedi). She's a disability activist and communication expert.
Also, to add to this thread: this is Dylan Rodríguez on Lexical Warfare, which is about exactly these points to. Words, lexicon, and narratives are battle grounds and the right has been very effective with this. They made a lot of liberatory words into their opposites. Unfortunately, with e.g. "woke" and "identity politics" the White left has helped them.
