It isn’t only Donald Trump. Disabled Twitter has seen some VERY toxic shit in the past few weeks (thread).

In case you are unaware, I want to take a minute to fill you on how *harmful* Twitter has been for #disabled people for the past few weeks.

Background: Two different disabled women had trouble with their rideshare service.
One of the women needed to have her food delivered to her door. The driver refused.

It has gotten U G L Y for the disabled community for quite some time.
Another fine example:
