Why would we stop counting the number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities right before massive Medicaid cuts? So we can't easily quantify the number of disabled people who die as a direct result of H.B. 1.

Oh, yeah? Well, I think it's unprofessional for corporate blowhards to project their insecurities onto an iced coffee.

Even though I've called Pennie multiple times to update my address since I moved in 2024, they have not updated it! Despite putting my new address on my applications at the end of 2024 and 2025, they did not acknowledge my new address.

Policy nerd here. Public figures have this thing called the right of publicity. It varies a bit, state-by-state, but this basically means that a public figure's name and likeness cannot be used for the commercial gain of another without express permission from the public figure.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think "fair use principles" apply to a webstore attempting to commercially profit off of fabricated, nonconsensual association with legitimate designers and publishers.

Today, I encountered a document on the CMS website that provides guidance to Medicaid LTSS providers, clarifying the differences between institutional and home/community-based settings. The document is called "settings that isolate" and that phrase is still haunting me.

After passing the largest #Medicaid cut in history, the GOP is now trying to pass the most restrictive voter ID law, which would specifically disenfranchise people living in skilled nursing facilities (about 70% of whom rely on Medicaid to fund their care).

On the same day, Scott Presler advocated for passage of the SAVE America Act, announced his campaign for Republican Committee of Beaver County, and committed to holding voter registration drives—which will cease to exist if the SAVE America Act is passed.
Meme depicting D.W. from the children's TV show, Arthur, looking at a sign, posted on a door, that says "people must be registered to vote if you want them to vote for you." The caption at the bottom of the image shows that D.W. saying "that sign won't stop me, because I can't read!"

Apparently the City of #Pittsburgh does not collect data on the state of our sidewalks, crosswalks, and curbcuts. So, I guess our maintenance strategy is just... vibes? Not surprising since the city dumped tons of snow onto curbcuts, trapping #disabled folks in their homes for 2-3 weeks.
Transcript of podcast interview with Mayor Corey O'Connor and Megan Harris on the Pittsburgh City Cast.

Megan Harris: There was a line in your inauguration speech: “Public safety isn't a statistic. It's a feeling you have when you walk down the street.” Have you heard the criticisms of that, and what do you say to people who worry about whose feelings you’re catering to?

Mayor Corey O'Connor: I don't follow social media, but we can't rely only on statistics. When somebody's living next to a dilapidated house that the city owns — that's gonna fall on their house... Crosswalks that aren't being taken care of. Sidewalks that are cracked. People with disabilities who need wheelchair access, and we don't have curbs that accommodate them so now they're in the streets. Those are not statistics that will ever pop up. That's what we're talking about

Racial justice activists and community organizers have been talking about the detrimental impacts of overpolicing majority Black neighborhoods in Pittsburgh for decades. And those feelings are based in facts—it actually makes Black people less safe in Pittsburgh.

It may seem contradictory that the "food is medicine" crowd (derogatory) cut SNAP benefits, but their reasoning has always been based in shaming/blaming people. It has never been about access to healthy food. It has always been about punishing people for having the gall to live with a #disability.
