Print it, bookmark it, pause what you are doing. Whatever you do, prioritize reading this. And then share it. In meetings, on your office door, during office small talk. It’s a crystal clear piece that leaves no question about the essential work we must do in higher education.

There is nothing wasteful or unnecessary about funding education for disabled students. Disabled people are worthy. Disabled people have value. Disabled people deserve an accessible, supportive, and fully funded education.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

There's so much for us to fight for right now. It's devastating, exhausting, and it's also possible. We can't forget past and present organizers who have always been fighting for justice. They have always shown us that collective resistance works. Let's do this, but never alone. ❤️

Disability rights (Section 504, ADA, IDEA: www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/01/27/s...), Affordable Care Act, and gay marriage are all at risk in the U.S. Of course, so much of government and funding, separation of powers, the democratic republic itself are under threat. Hold the line against tyranny.

This is heartbreaking to read. Disabled people are a part of every community. Disabled people are not disposable. Disabled people are worthy and deserve to live.

New pub today, focused on the ethnoracial diversity of the special ed teacher (SET) workforce. We found that -- at current rate of change -- the SET workforce will NEVER be ethnoracially representative of the population of students w/disabilities. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/VPMXC...
