Voters in nursing homes are guaranteed the right to vote. They don’t always get it.

@Philip_DT @AndyMasley What religion mandates the consumption of foie gras? Does that religion have a history of being an oppressed minority? This is a ridiculous comparison.

She was tackled, held down and punched as the president of the United States called her “scum,” “low-class,” and “a fat guy.” No one has been charged.

Noah Adams, a longtime host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” whose quiet baritone and empathetic ear brought listeners stories not often heard on U.S. airwaves, has died. He was 84. https://t.co/Sju3C6ZqOT

@ChristianityOn The hashtag started because, when hashtags were still a big thing on social media, the autism tag was usually full of parents. The idea was to differentiate content made by autistic people to make it easier to find.

RIP Caryle Murphy, who reported from inside occupied Kuwait in 1990, hiding from Iraqi troops. She would roll a typewritten story into a tube, dress as a jogger, run past an embassy and throw the tube over the wall to get the story out. @amcovarrubias https://t.co/u0tNi9BQZ3

The total amount spent by Rs on trans-themed ads in 2024 was around $215 million. By next month I bet that much has been spent on trans-themed ads in Texas alone.

Dia de la Muerte display at NPR to remember loved ones who’ve left us. Susan and Noah co-host again.

I *want* it to be a group project. I want people with different perspectives and political opinions. I want people to be able to take time off work or get sick or even leave and go do something else without it being a big deal.

I just learned Danny Saenz died earlier this week. May his memory be a blessing.

[Dave Montgomery @daveymontgomery]

Disabled Texans stage a protest in the Texas capitol rotunda to call for a pay raise for community attendants who care for them in their home. Danny Saenz, 59, shown foreground, says the current salary of $8 an hour is too low to keep qualified attendants.

I know a couple people who just burned out under the weight of being The Disability Reporter and left journalism. Technically I should think of other journalists covering disability as competition, but really we’re working on different parts of the same group project.
