Yesterday, @USDOT made a really exciting announcement about air travel for people who use wheelchairs. Today, I spoke to GBH News about it! Tomorrow, I hope more people with disabilities fly with dignity. #WheelchairsAreNotLuggage wgbh.org/news/national/…

Project 2025 poses serious risks to disabled people. I discuss these dangers in my @truthout interview with @eleanorjbader1. Read why we must stay vigilant: truthout.org/articles/proje… #CripTheVote

When will airlines stop hurting disabled people? When will they understand #WheelchairsAreNotLuggage

This is NOT a thing to be celebrated! Why are we not talking about ADA violations instead of trying to spin this as inspirational?

@SFdirewolf @BookshopSC Got the chance to take a blurry pic of one of your books being read on the Orange Line in Boston the other day. Thank you Alice!

Spotted by my friend at @BookshopSC!! I have yet to see my books in a bookshop or library since the pandemic and I always appreciate people spotting them out in the wild! RAWR 🐅📖📚 And support your local independent libraries and bookstores!! bookshopsantacruz.com

@GaelynnLea @mnstateparks @mndnr Wow! I think I need future summer vacay at a Minnesota state park!

Wheelchair are not luggage! Airlines refusal to properly secure wheelchairs must stop. The wait to repair a wheelchair is often an unbearable few months. 🤬airlines disregard for wheelchairs harms a disabled person everyday. Furious the violent disrespect hurt @teresa_nguyen_ 💛

Did you see Roll Call's ableist cartoon yesterday? The daily experience of Americans with disabilities has no business being the punchline in any joke.

To everyone who has worked tirelessly to expand and protect the rights of disabled workers, and to all of you who have fought to develop the workforce that allows people with disabilities to live with independence and freedom, thank you. #HappyLaborDay

@slooterman @teresa_nguyen_ @EricMGarcia Incredibly awesome

Today marks one year since #RoevWade was overturned. Moving forward, disabled people must be included in efforts to protect reproductive freedom. My forthcoming @UCLALawReview article provides a framework for doing so. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

58 days ago JetBlue destroyed my powerchair. Today I finally got the replacement - paid for by JetBlue- and it feels absolutely amazing to have my independence back. 🦼

More than 40,000 people with disabilities rely on the MassHealth personal care attendant program. But a critical shortage of PCAs is leaving many people, like Malden resident Rhoda Gibson, without care they need to live independently. @GBHNews

Here’s a real life example of how just listening to disabled people can be the difference: A brief thread.

The harm airlines place on disabled travelers must stop! usatoday.com/story/travel/a…

Over a month ago my power wheelchair was destroyed because I traveled by air. ✈️ Yesterday - over 37 days later- I was told the airline finally ordered a replacement. 🦼 Now let’s guess.. how many more days until @JetBlue gives me back my independence? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@dasoultoucha Wow enjoy the all terrain wheelchair, in what looks like a gorgeous place!

From @bglobetoday: A supreme court ruling could essentially rewrite the Americans with Disabilities Act. @globeopinion senior opinion writer @kimberlyeatkins talks with @seguntheprogram and explains what’s at risk. trib.al/BMKGX3c
