Thank you @JFritze for this needed piece: 'Sleeping in my car.' This Supreme Court case could change how disabled Americans book hotel rooms https://t.co/rmBZUvZxWh via @asburyparkpress

Important survey - especially for people with mobility or sensory disabilities. Hotels are SUPPOSED to have up to date information on accessibility online. How many of them do? and is it accurate? Here is your chance to vent!

[Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund @DREDF]

Making hotel reservations online? We need stories from people with disabilities about what it’s like when a hotel’s website does not provide any information about whether its rooms have accessible features. Survey deadline is June 30.

@TheJuliaHLee Yup. My grandparents and parents started the reading when I was five or so in 1966. Mind you, we lived on the Colorado prairie outside of Denver. I think they fell out of favor for two reasons - the idealized version of events, and the protrayal of Native Americans.

Very glad to see that the #OmnibusBill includes a 4 year extension to 2027 of Money Follows the Person and Spousal Impoverishment protections. These investments will allow more older adults & people with disabilities to stay in their homes and communities. Now do mandatory #HCBS

THIS thread. #disabilityawareness #LongCOVID
And thank you to @edyong209 for the superb work.

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🧵I want to share some thoughts about reporting on long COVID and other complex chronic illnesses. (e.g. below)
This is a thread about the ethos behind these pieces, and how I’ve approached interviewing, writing, and the rest of it. 1/

When Pete Buttigieg comes for someone, he doesn’t carry a sledgehammer…he wields a scalpel.

And in this must-see clip, Pete slices Ron DeSantis into a million little pieces.

@StoweVT2 I completely agree that nobody should live like this. The question is what is the most effective response. I understand the impulse to use force. It is just that coercion has been shown not to work in the long run.

[Susan Mizner @spmizner]

@StoweVT2 And (part 2). Housing First, harm reduction, and intensive case managers have all been shown to work. We have just never funded them to scale. Why waste money on am extraneous court system, when we are not fully funding what works? Thanks for reaching out.

[Susan Mizner @spmizner]

@StoweVT2 Hi, Gregory. I agree people need help! But, clinicians, academics, the literature all agree that coerced treatment is counterproductive. What works best is providing voluntary housing, and a range of voluntary treatment options.

[Susan Mizner @spmizner]

@AaronTeasdale Hi, @AaronTeasdale. I am all of the above.

Important piece from @kciesemier

[Kendall Ciesemier @kendallciese]

My mom’s story has long made me feel weird about my place in the abortion conversation. But, my disability is actually not a weapon against abortion access, like I have been made to believe. It’s an argument for it.
