I’m disappointed that the Sonoma County Fair leadership would book an event that ridicules people with disabilities. As the Advocacy Director for @LPANational it’s shocking to me that this is 2023. What message are you sending kids who attend the fair @sonomafair ?#sonomafail
Our org was looking to participate in @sonomafair Senior Day until we came across an event that exploits little people.
Please see our letter to their leadership asking the County Fair to cancel this performance immediately.

West District officers are asking the public to keep an eye out for a black 2019 BMW X5 (plate DEM499) stolen at 8:20 am in Old Tuxedo. The SUV had a 70lb black Lab (w/ a red collar) named 'Fitz' in it when it was taken. Any info? Please call 204-986-6222 or 911 if an emergency.
.@Apple just dropped this sensational video for #IDPD.
No pandering. No sob story. No inspiration porn. Just real people with disabilities living their lives, empowered by technology.
YES!! https://t.co/wFiUSR3X1k
This week on twitter a female deputy PM is shown being physically intimidated, a female journalist is reportedly fired for going grey and a female prime minister is ridiculed for dancing at a private event. Somedays this is exhausting.
LPA’s response to the comments made by Jerry Jones today. A🧵. @LPANational
"Midget is a term that has widely been known to be derogatory for years and should be common knowledge to anyone in the public arena, such as Jerry Jones. Ignorance at this point is simply not an excuse.
Little People of America is asking Jerry Jones to issue an apology and vow to use appropriate terminology rooted in respect and dignity going forward.” https://t.co/JSp3SKha4Q
