@drabtshirt and @matt_valdez and all @bitseason fans would appreciate my “literary” spring break in Rio de Janeiro. We visited the Real Gabinete Português de Leitura aka a SILLY library.
“We do not count because we were born in Afghanistan . . . We’ll die slowly in history.” I am heartbroken. The women & girls of Afghanistan have been abandoned. What of their dreams, hopes? The rights they have fought two decades for? #PrayforAfghanistan
I still can't quite believe this is real...I'M ON THE COVER OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED! To be one of the first-ever Paralympians on the cover is truly overwhelming. If you get a copy, let me know and tag me!
Huge thanks to @GregBishopSI for telling my story in such a great way.
Thank you to @POTUS for properly recognizing the #ArmenianGenocide today, an extremely important milestone towards justice. As SOAD, we want to acknowledge and thank all of you who have stood with us over the years, voicing your support for this cause. https://t.co/61ag9KA9vG
March 12, 1990 is the anniversary of the Capitol Crawl protest. Hundreds of people with disabilities gathered at the foot of the DC Capitol building to climb & crawl the steps in protest of the ADA's slow movement through Congress. Their advocacy pushed the ADA to passage.

In 2015, Kenosha cop Pablo Torres shot and killed a man armed with a bucket. It was his first day back after another shooting 10 days earlier. He had a 200-page disciplinary file, with 9 excessive force complaints. The Kenosha police union paid tribute to him with this billboard.
Thanks to the white supremacist group that visited our marker to 14 year-old, Emmett Till. Because of you: we raised $20,000, two major foundations contacted us, and we have had countless visitors to our museum, website and 3,000 new twitter followers. Please share to thank them!
