Assistant Professor @HarvardHPM researching how public policy impacts the lives of people with disabilities, their families and those who support them.
These are some very exciting #HCBS policy measures from @JoshShapiroPA in Pennsylvania - it's nice to see a Governor advancing disability policy wins in this difficult funding environment! https://t.co/XGKgDy9y4s
Temple Israel released photos of the devastation from last week’s attack. It’s hard to look at these photos and not feel like it could have easily been my synagogue instead — an attack on any Jewish community is an attack on all of us.

This is a truly bizarre and unempathetic response from a sitting US Congressman to a junior staffer expressing entirely justified concerns about antisemitism.
We have entered a truly dangerous moral space today. I don't know how we got here, but I fear where things are heading.
I am proud to stand with @grahamformaine@ZohranKMamdani & join @hasanthehun feed. The problem is with the neocons in our party who blundered into Iraq, 20 years in Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, & now support the Iran war. Out with the old guard. We need a new moral direction.
As a kid, when I used to travel to Europe, I remember being shocked at the security outside every single synagogue. Men with huge machine guns, often requiring pre -registration from tourists to attend services, a passport, etc. It felt so foreign, so unreal. So over the top. I get it now.
Nineteenth century America saw a dramatic expansion in construction of institutions for the mentally ill, driven by the well-intentioned 'moral treatment' movement, which believed that humane institutions would render mental illness quickly curable.
This is significant - approaching the issue of restraint and seclusion in schools as an ADA violation brings new tools to bear on a longstanding problem. https://t.co/WoKkPBZiEy
אנחנו צריכים לקחת את הודעות פיקוד העורף של "האירוע הסתיים" וליישם אותן לעוד תחומי חיים. מסיבות, בריתות, ישיבות בעבודה, שיחות חולין. כשאני בחתונה אני תמיד מת ללכת ולא יודע מתי זה לגיטימי, אשמח לקבל הודעה מוסדרת של "האירוע הסתיים" ולחתוך הביתה.
Although nearly 8 million Americans use Medicaid home and community-based services for long-term support, there is more to learn about the best ways to finance and deliver this care, from Jacob M. Sims Speyer, @aneeman, Norma B. Coe, and Ellen Meara https://t.co/jJ9eXSpt60
The authors of a new Perspective argue that autism research programs should focus on both causes and effective services and supports. Alarmist claims, chasing of debunked theories of causation, and further stigmatizing autism are counterproductive. Read the Perspective by Tara Eicher, PhD, John Quackenbush, PhD (@johnquackenbush), and Ari Ne’eman, PhD (@aneeman): https://t.co/OALSyypFRv
