Advice for 1Ls, you say?

Don't let law school change who you are. If you are a kind, compassionate soul, don't for one moment let anyone tell you that you need to eliminate those qualities. Keep your humanity: It is desperately needed.

To the #disabilityjustice - #DisabilityTwitter and @autselfadvocacy folks -look at this video- stich your videos and amplify your views. How do YOU feel about amended section 504 to allow tens of millions of dollars going into segregated ID/DD facilities?

My favorite opinion columnist -@grimm_fred - calling out Florida for its callousness to medically complex children. Too long, not too late.

Florida Can No Longer Warehouse Children With Disabilities in Nursing Homes https://t.co/y1O4v589a9

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A federal judge has ruled that Florida has been unlawfully segregating children with complex medical needs and putting other disabled children at risk of unnecessary institutionalization. https://t.co/QefnwRKmxk

[Matthew Dietz @dislaw]

For almost twenty years, Florida has failed to provide required services to these parents and then told parents that they are incapable of caring for their children. This continues to be indefensible.

In time for the 33rd anniversary of the ADA. It demonstrates how much further we need to go before the “shameful walls of exclusion come tumbling down.”

This new ad from “Mothers Against Greg Abbott” is the best political ad we have ever seen.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Who said all political ads are boring? This is probably the hottest political ad you’ll ever see.

OHIO vote NO on August 8th 🔥

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth!
@11thCirCOA ADA rule #1 - can’t judge a book by its cover. If you are going to deny a service or program to a person with a disability you better have a good reason to do so.

People who use a wheelchair for mobility need not enter. Every table in shaded oasis at Miami Beach’s brand new Canopy Park has immovable benches/no overhangs to roll up to. NOT how to observe #disabilitypridemonth or #ADA33. ⁦@MiamiBeachNews⁩ Fix This. #disabilitytwitter

Captioning is an easy and inexpensive way to ensure that your audience can see, hear and retain your message, also, it accommodates the 48 million hard-of-hearing Americans.
