Look, @NFLonCBS @CBSSports. This--"special link" to watch ASL performers--isn't access. What if we're watching the game w/hearing people, or at a friend's or restaurant? If the internet connection can't support 2 streams? If the streams don't sync up? Don't have 2 devices?

Happy New Year, all. The ACLU is back in office tomorrow, and our petition is currently at 18.5K. Can we push it to 20K in the next 36 hours to deliver on 3 Jan? chng.it/hL6gQhKCkK

Does an historical list exist of residential US Schools for DHH children (early 1800’s through 1975) organized by the year it opened and, if applicable, the year it closed? If so, how would I access it?@DeafMuseumGU @GallaudetU @KatBrockway @ACoyGonzalez

Thank you @NBCNews and City of Lewiston for recognizing the importance of the access. I appreciate this. The Deaf Community is grieving and we need information. This sign language interpreter is Certified Deaf Interpreter, and holds THREE college degrees (B.A., M.A., & Ph.D.).

Did you see Roll Call's ableist cartoon yesterday? The daily experience of Americans with disabilities has no business being the punchline in any joke.

In an increasingly digital world, new technologies continue to bring new obstacles for the disability community. We must ensure that our accessibility laws keep pace with the digital age. I'm proud to reintroduce my CVTA Act—because accessibility should never be an afterthought.

Blind/visually impaired friends: Museums & heritage sites are increasingly using QR codes to provide visitors with extra info or alternative formats to meet access needs. How do you find accessing material in this way? What things would make QR codes more accessible to you?

Grateful, stunned: Amazon review: "This book broke my heart and put it back together so many times that I am left speechless. We should be outraged by audism as a society, yet, most hearing people would barely recognize it. Be prepared to emerge a new person, with a Deaf heart."
