US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
Stop fear-mongering. ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens. If a U.S. citizen is arrested, it is because they have obstructed or assaulted law enforcement. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity. Secretary Noem has been clear: rioters will not stop us or slow us down.

*Gasp* wow students are disabled in similar proportions to the adult American public. How mind boggling. Could yall stop telling disabled kids they dont belong in college? Sincerely a disabled professor.
Derek Thompson@DKThomp
This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled - At Amherst: more than 30 percent - At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability—extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

@DEADLINE @DeadlinePete Nessarose's arc–and Chu's handling of the challenging (and problematic) Broadway storyline–runs against the grain of traditional disability inspiration porn precisely because she refuses to be easily flattened into simplistic binaries.
English
@DEADLINE As a disability theatre artist+scholar, I can't help but feel conflicted about @DeadlinePete's well-intentioned line: "Marissa Bode’s wheelchair-bound Nessarose is given some key screen time and delivers in a piece of casting that is as inspiring as the character she plays."
English
Hey @deadline, it's 2025–let's maybe leave behind "Wheelchair-bound" when we describe disabled wheelchair-users – either film characters or real performers? It's ableist language that inverts the very point of Bode's casting/performance in #WickedForGood.

@ohmaryplay casting continues to put its boot on my neck. Even so, I keep hoping for a Megan Mullally/Mary and Nick Offerman/Mary’s Husband announcement.

To be clear, this is basically all of my work. These executive order restrictions on freedom of thought are dangerous and damaging—to say nothing of the fact that the logic that “equity ideology” is discriminatory is laughably bad.

I’m lucky to have the time and energy to navigate this problem—and thank goodness I started this process while I still have some days of medication left. How do people without these resources navigate these inaccessible systems?
