This must-read report details how restraint and seclusion are used as tools of racism and ableism in California schools, with a disproportionate number of Black and disabled youth experiencing these traumatic practices. We must stop these carceral practices in places of learning.

@AllieCannington cohosted that historic @DisSolidarity convo.

In case you need help quantifying the harm of inaccessible hotels to disabled people, @ColumbiaHRLR just published nearly 70 pages of hotel horror stories.

I was nearly run over -- once frantically diving for safety -- by two driverless cars in San Francisco last month. The software has not been trained to recognize wheelchair users.

"A disabled person is in need of plastic cups and concerned about the overwhelming plastic in our ecosystems. Ortiz expands on and complicates who is seen as an environmentalist and what being in relationship with the land can look like."
