The Americans with Disabilities Act, passed on July 26, 1990, aspired to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities. Today, technology is a major barrier to realizing that promise. https://t.co/cifJuDf7G2 via @slate

You should know: Senate Republicans just fought to block President Biden’s plan to deliver student debt relief to 43 million borrowers. You better believe I voted against it.

I’m going to keep fighting for this.

At the MetFern Cemetery with @MLSudders, @seangarballeyMA, @senatorbarrett and @lalexgreen - leaders and lawmakers that are #DisabilityRights champions. Celebrating the groundbreaking law, a Commission to study the history of MA institutions. @TheArcofMass

@MassAGO @DEAHQ @samhsagov Agreed, but we have to be careful that the medical-industrial complex doesn't supplant Telehealth with in-person healthcare. A delicate balance!

My name is Kim Driscoll. I’m the proud daughter of an immigrant from Trinidad and a Navy chef from Lynn. The wife of a union bricklayer, and the mother of three great kids. I'm honored to serve as the next Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts.

[Charlie Carr @chacarr]

@MayorDriscoll Congratulations Lieutenant Governor-elect. You made history last night!

[Charlie Carr @chacarr]

Massachusetts made history last night by electing all women running for constitutional office! Congratulations @maura_healey @MayorDriscoll @AndreaForAG @DianaDiZoglio #REVUP #CripTheVote

@Swydan True, but we'd miss the comedic value of Neanderthals like Bolduc. What a pig!@GenDonBolduc

@MassAGO Fraud in Medicaid is a dog whistle refrain from Republicans. Yes, fraud happens but when policymakers believe it exists even when it doesn't, poor people suffer.

[Robyn Powell @RobynMPowell]

In 2012, 36 states listed parental disability as grounds for termination of parental rights. I just finished a state-by-state analysis and found that 36 states still list parental disability as grounds for termination of parental rights! In other words, nothing has changed!

Advocates urge Massachusetts legislators to pass legislation "critical to the disability community" https://t.co/64EUtQfXch
