Lawyer tweeting about disability rights/justice, the internet, and, sometimes, tubas. Opinions are my own, so don't blame others for them. Was @StreettubaATL.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but no one is murdering babies. No one is pregnant for nine months and then decides to terminate their pregnancy

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

Trump is a decisive communicator but LIES.

Biden tells the TRUTH but not as clearly and assertively.

It's misinformation vs. democracy — the entire challenge of our nation in one debate. Ugh. #Debates2024

Ryan Gainer’s tragic death is part of a pattern of police violence against Black autistic children and adults. Our hearts go out to his family, and we join them in calling for release of the body camera footage & for police accountability in the shooting

SCOTUS issued its 1st decision of the year, ruling a case that could have gutted a key ADA enforcement provision moot.

It is a better result than what many disability and civil rights advocates feared. My latest on Acheson Hotels LLC v. Laufer. https://t.co/3SBQMe6nMr

It’s with deep sadness that we announce the death of our co-founder and co-executive director, @AdyBarkan, at age 39 due to ALS-related complications.

Ady will continue to be at the heart of Be A Hero and what we do here for years to come.

From the people who whine constantly about weird-looking maps, NC Republicans dropped this gerrymander monstrosity yesterday.

Check out Mecklenburg's new House District 105. Custom-drawn for @triciacotham, it still leans Democratic (as does all of Meck), but - wow. #ncpol

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

.@juststimming is stepping down from leading @autselfadvocacy due to long COVID. I’ve admired her work for a long time and had the opportunity to profile her last year.

This is a loss for the movement IMO, and I hope she is able to get needed rest. https://t.co/TnHhS82IM3

@briangallini What it most effectively measures is ability to go 2-3 months with minimal income.

God. Part of the horror of the Tyre Nichols video - which I’m not sharing - is how what we hear officers say is the opposite of what we see. For ex - the demand to see his hands when they are holding his arms & kicking him. It appears they’re manufacturing a pretext for the stop.

[Stella Safo, MD MPH @AmmahStarr]

The video is so bad they fired and charged the cops involved.
It’s so bad they’re preparing for rioting.
It’s so bad the police chief has a message out saying she understands the outrage.

Now imagine if there wasn’t a video.

[LarkinTaylor-Parker @ltaylorparker]

@mhdksafa So sorry you're struggling.

Please take some time today to learn about Lois Curtis.

She is a trailblazer among abolitionists whose freedom prayers, dreams, art, stories, strategies, struggles and love freed herself and thousands at that time, and untold millions into the future.

No words do justice...

Boosting: for those who don’t know Lois Curtis is one of the most influential people in disability rights in the United States.

She was one of two women held against their will in an institutional setting and sued to be able to live in the community by choice.
