In the coming days, the Supreme Court will hand down its decision(s) in Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce & Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and with it, conservative justices stand to make their most dangerous power grab yet. 🧵 1/12

@CBSNews Posting this without acknowledging the lack of infrastructure that has trapped this family into risking their safety to use basic public services is everything that is wrong with newsrooms. This isn't heartwarming, this is a system failure.
When he realized the train station elevator was broken, this dad did what he needed to do. He hoisted his son, who is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair, up a long flight of steps 💪

Attention all little people and folx who know little people between the ages of 18 and 28, please help spread the word on this important study. This student is working very hard to understand what independence means to this group.

📢 Calling all health equity champions. Please read the thread below and consider signing on to support designating people with disabilities as a health disparity population. docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZPz9N…
🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The @NIMHD committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.
Leah Smith retweeted
We're excited to publish new research with McKinsey Health Institute. It sheds light on the global gaps in #disability #data, what this means for the 1.3 billion people living with disabilities, and how to bridge them. Register for the webinar on Sept 13: bit.ly/45EpU1R

"The [wrestling group’s] choice to use the ‘M’ slur is a choice to exploit little people for entertainment...When little people...are promoted as an amusement, it communicates that our lives aren’t serious and sets back our fight for civil rights." chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-t…

The @sonomafair would rather dehumanize and use disabled people for entertainment purposes rather than show us dignity & respect! This is 2023 in wine country. Disgusting! #SonomaFail themarysue.com/disability-org…

“The majority of people in the dwarfism and disability community feel that these shows encourage bullying, harassment, and violence towards our community,” - Eileen Norman
Despite calls from disability rights groups to cancel the controversial event, the Sonoma County Fair plans to host a show featuring wrestlers with dwarfism next weekend for the second year in row. trib.al/jiQKb4F
