I am excited for Tracy's leadership!

ADA.gov has a fact sheet on U.S. Department of Justice DOJ Civil Rights Division new proposed rulemaking updating the regulations for Title II of the #ADA to lay out specific requirements for the accessibility of medical diagnostic equipment. ada.gov/notices/2024/0…

Today @USCensusBureau listened to the disability community! After 12,000 advocates wrote in, the Census Bureau announced it will halt proposed changes to the disability section of the American Community Survey that would've undercounted disabled people. Our advocacy is powerful.

The @CDC is looking for a new name (they aren't) to more accurately reflect their mission of misguiding the public, ignoring the science of disease transmission & encouraging the spread of illnesses. Centers for Disease Continuation & Propagation is my recommendation. Yours?

This is one of the best ads I’ve seen. Talk that talk! PR folks - this is how you do an ad/campaign on disability. This is the model.

Conferences should guarantee appropriately heighted podiums. Most standard podiums are designed for typical men. Too often wheelchair users and shorter people can't use them at all & the faces of many woman can barely be seen. It diminishes authority and is sexist and ableist.

Congratulations to Benard P. Dreyer, MD, FAAP, for being the #PAS2024 Joseph W. St. Geme, Jr. Leadership Award Recipient! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I feel incredibly lucky to be supported in my advocacy endeavors and honored to win this award.

Thank you @aap_peds for sharing this. I was delighted to work with amazingly smart and thoughtful collaborators!

Frankly it is not surprising that The Economist took this ableist stance. econ.st/3VSrJEF Disabled people can be Presidents (obvs, FDR). If you would like to write a letter to the editor, send it to [email protected]. FYI, emails sent may be considered for publication

I am incredibly honored to receive this award. I am driven to reduce disparities for children with disabilities and am so incredibly lucky to be able to work with amazing colleagues toward this goal.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best

Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.

I know this time of year is hard on customer service workers to companies like Peet's Coffee shouldn't leave their representatives with no options to help during business hours. It's bad policy that isn't the CSR's fault. Shame on you.
