In 1986, #MarleeMatlin shattered #Hollywood barriers by earning #BestActress honors for Children of a Lesser God—the 1st #Deaf actor to win an #AcademyAward. Who was the 2nd? And what is their connection to Marlee? #Oscars #DeafTalent #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityFilm #MovieHistory

The historic 2022 Oscar nod for #TroyKotsur in CODA was also a wake-up call. Proving once again that #Deaf actors can lead, captivate, and win. Hollywood, lean into #authenticity, #imagination and #opportunity. Keep the door open. Keep the roles coming. #Oscars #FilmHistory #NothingAboutUs

The thing that everyone thinks is nuts, but I absolutely think would work: a presentation that looked like an Apple keynote product launch, but for all the cool shit that the government makes for people. Cancer treatments, national parks, space discoveries, free tax filing, cool new airports.

The Lord: who protects immigrants, who helps orphans and widows, but who makes the way of the wicked twist and turn! Psalm 146:9

Today, our gentle reminder that there isn't an 'astonishing' rise in autistic people. We've always been here. Most of us weren't counted in the figures, before, because they were looking for the young white boys who collect trains. They got better at finding us. Thanks for reading.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

When you treat your country like a business and you elect business men to run it, it shouldn’t be surprising that they are treating a change in power as if they have just purchased a business that they will now run, including eliminating the existing workforce & structures to bring in their own.

It is a few minutes after 3 am and I am obsessed WTH the Wild Card podcast with Rachel Martin. Like seriously.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

This Black History Month, I'm thinking of how Black Panther Party members were crucial partners in helping disabled people with their 504 sit-ins in federal buildings, which led to Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act finally become law. disabilityhistory.org/2021/12/19/t...

We’ve worked too hard to fight disability stereotypes and bias in employment to let baseless claims undermine our work. #Disability www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

Thanks, Joe!

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Protect Independent Living Funding: Stop the Freeze on Federal Programs NCIL is aware of the news that the Trump Administration has issued a “Temporary Pause on Agency Grants, Loans and other Financial Assistance Programs.” You Can Help. Read more: bit.ly/4jCSCHN Take action: bit.ly/4g8sx0X

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

This comment period closes on 17 January! 14(c) certificates allow employers to pay pennies on the dollar on the grounds that disabled workers are less productive, and contribute to segregated employment in 'sheltered workshops' that isolate workers from their communities.
