The US has seen one of the biggest increases in disability rates due to the pandemic. Housing & health care remain out of reach for many disabled people. We need to permanently strengthen the ADA and ensure support for people with disabilities. #ADA31

Last month Connecticut became the first state in the country to make prison phone calls free. It’s a huge victory for the incarcerated and their families and will transform the lives of children with incarcerated parents. Every single state should do this. https://t.co/rfZrgpjY07

Disabled people consistently report being behind or at risk of eviction. We need to extend the eviction moratorium. Then we need to #DemolishDisabledPoverty by increasing funding for HCBS & revitalizing SSI. https://t.co/Q0YKlYW339

@bucklesme “When we have such massive impacts on community, it calls for massive change - the same way we created massive change during the great depression and post WWII needs to happen now,” - @bucklesme

“I am proudly apart of the ADA generation where the majority of my life, at least on paper, I was granted the protection against discrimination in public spaces.

Without the ADA, I wouldn't have the housing, education, or employment I do now,” - @bucklesme #ADA31

[Megan @bucklesme]

So humbled to be a part of this conversation with truly amazing leaders and advocates! #ADA31 #CripTheVote

I’ve told people on multiple occasions that “hustling” leads to disability.

The #First100Days of the Biden presidency have provided big wins for the disability community.

We pulled together a thread to collect some of the brightest highlights. #DisabilityTwitter (1/10)

Infrastructure—the systems we create to let us participate in the economy—must include care in all its forms, especially home- and community-based services.

#COVID19 made clear it’s a matter of life and death for people with disabilities. Here’s why. #CareInfrastructure (1/5)

This fabricated police story might have become the official account of George Floyd’s death if concerned citizens had not intervened and recorded the police.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Darnella Frazier was just a 17-year-old taking her 9-year-old cousin out for snacks when she stopped and filmed Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck.

A little girl still lost her father and I hope she finds peace one day. RIP George Floyd

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

Derek Chauvin: guilty on all 3 counts

Now let’s do the entire system of policing in this country.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

If Black children are old enough to experience racism, other children are old enough to learn about racism and how to be an antiracist.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

HR1 is being voted on next week. McConnell calls it a "power grab" because it:

-Establishes Automatic Voter Registration
-Prevents voter purges
-Ends gerrymandering
-Expands early voting
-Takes aim at Citizens United

It is a "power grab" -- grabbing power back for the people.
