Official as of today, : There are now technical web and mobile #accessibility technical standards in the U.S. for state and local governments covered by the ADA. New rules published April 24, 2024 in the federal register. federalregister.gov/documents/2024… #a11y #EdTech

The EMTALA case, Moyle v. US, hasn't received as much attention as the mifepristone case, but it is huge. Not only implicates access to emergency medical procedures (like abortion in cases of miscarriage), but the broader question of federal law supremacy. supremecourt.gov
I got to talk about #Medicaid waiting lists and the need to address the Long-term Care before 9 AM Thank you @lisaling for highlighting the cost of #Caregiving and the massive need for #LongTermCare in this country #CareCantWait

The SCOTUS discussion of mental health exceptions for abortions is problematic for so many reasons, as I explain in my forthcoming paper.
The SCOTUS discussion of mental health exceptions for abortions is problematic for so many reasons, as I explain in my forthcoming paper.
This discussion of physical versus mental health is ridiculous and offensive. The ongoing distinction is dangerous and unnecessary. Health is health, whether physical or mental.
Essential reading. Judy Singer did not originate the concept of neurodiveristy, nor did she coin the term. She is, however, a virulent transphobe. (Warning for some disgusting examples of that in the article.) #neurodiversity 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
Happy #EarthDay! It's important to remember that the original Earth Day in 1970 was predominantly led by students who were inspired to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience by the civil rights movement and anti-war protestors.

I’m all in for “well-rested activism” @maria_m_town
It feels like everyone is talking about “mental health” and “mental illness” and featuring asylums in their music videos and no one is acknowledging violence against mad people or even listening to us.
Oh yes! Alabama launch of REV UP, an initiative to help people with disabilities become engaged politically & improve access to voting. REV UP stands for “Register, Educate, Vote, Use your Power.” Alabama is 20th state to adopt campaign sponsored by @AAPD. al.com/news/2024/04/d…
1000% this!!!!! Activism requires mind, body, and spirit. All of which need and deserve rest and re-energizing. There is no such thing as tireless activism.

AMEN SISTER! Couldn't have said it ANY BETTER!
I do not like the phrase “tireless activism.” I am tired. Activism is tiring. The phrase “tireless activism” promotes the idea that good, effective activism requires burnout and constant sacrifice. Give me “well-rested activism.”
Listen to @maria_m_town. This is huge!

The EMTALA case, Moyle v. US, hasn't received as much attention as the mifepristone case, but it is huge. Not only implicates access to emergency medical procedures (like abortion in cases of miscarriage), but the broader question of federal law supremacy. supremecourt.gov
This is bananasssssss Political and organizing campaign employers I am looking you straight in the face 👀
BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold. The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half. That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568. substack.perfectunion.us/p/the-departme…
This morning's oral argument shows why having a chronically ill justice on the bench is important.
Really beautiful remarks from @NPWF @jocelyncfrye about her support for EMTALA and abortion access as a deacon in her DC Baptist church… you don’t have to work at a faith org to be a person of faith who supports abortion!
The solution = Disability Inclusion Climate Justice is Disability Justice 💚 Environmental Justice is Disability Justice 🌲
Climate Justice is Disability Justice 💚 Environmental Justice is #DisabilityJustice 🌲 As we reflect on Earth Day, remember that every crisis disproportionately impacts Disabled people. The solution = Disability Inclusion #EarthDay2024 #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice
I got to talk about #Medicaid waiting lists and the need to address the Long-term Care before 9 AM Thank you @lisaling for highlighting the cost of #Caregiving and the massive need for #LongTermCare in this country #CareCantWait
About 80 million Americans are “sandwich” caregivers — including @lisaling. She shares how she and her husband care for their children and an elderly parent at the same time and how finances play a role in caregiving decisions for families in similar situations.
There are few things I love more in this world than sharing words and thoughts with kind, smart, tough-ass people. @krgpryal is right at the top of that list! I can’t wait to read her new book _A Light in the Tower: A New Reckoning with Mental Health in Higher Education_.
The SCOTUS discussion of mental health exceptions for abortions is problematic for so many reasons, as I explain in my forthcoming paper.
Excited to share my forthcoming @UCDavisLRev article, "Disabling Abortion Bans." It argues that focusing on the harm of vague health exceptions on disabled people is key to protecting reproductive freedom for all post-Dobbs. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
This discussion of physical versus mental health is ridiculous and offensive. The ongoing distinction is dangerous and unnecessary. Health is health, whether physical or mental.
