It's horrific how disabled people are dying due to being left behind in the wildfires, where firefighters aren't letting relatives or friends go in to save them (or even going themselves to save them).
Our society deems our lives as expendable and not worthy of life. It's ableist and horrifying, and I hate it.
So reach out to your disabled friends. Ask how you can help them with safety plans for such situations, and then follow-thru.
Stop leaving us to die.
