For @Rewire, I wrote about @marwilliamson and her attitudes towards disability and chronic illness. And yes, it is that bad. rewire.news/article/2019/08/…

As Marianne Williamson gains ground, disabled people are growing increasingly nervous over her language regarding health care.

Your perception of my beliefs is inaccurate. If I saw things the way you think I see them, I probably wouldn’t like me either. An actual reading of my books - not taking a sentence or two out of context in a way that can be used to ridicule me - reveals a very different picture.

She is an anti intellectual nut job who needs to go back to consulting celebrities or whatever it was she was doing 6 months ago. We don't need her.
Replying to @marwilliamson @Imani_Barbarin @rewire
Oh, her perception of your beliefs is indeed quite accurate- and there's no point in your trying to gaslight us now

You told people you knew secrets that would make them well, and that was a lie.

If you had as much love for love 💞 as you claim, then you'd recognize all the pain your books have caused for so many years. You'd do everyone a favor, stop writing, stop talking & start donating your $ to low-income people, do community service...& obv pull outta Pres race now

Did you really just tell us all to buy your book before we decide you're batshit?

Queer, trans disabled man here to reinforce what Imani has said about your "policies."

Have you even read your own books?
Replying to @marwilliamson @Imani_Barbarin @rewire
@marwilliamson We shouldn’t have to read your books to “reveal a very different picture” of how you see mental illness, chronic illness, & disability. You are running for the highest office in gov’t. We’ve read your tweets. We’ve heard you speak. We’ve researched your history.

Marianne, why would I, or any disabled person, want to spend my money to buy your books so that I can read how little you understand about conditions I've had for years? I get that you are using your campaign as part of your hustle, but I have no interest in giving you money.
Replying to @marwilliamson @Imani_Barbarin @rewire
Or....you could actually try listening to them? Maybe instead of talking at people who are rightfully afraid of the dismissive nature of your words, you could hear out the concerns and recognize when it’s time to learn instead of preach.
