Thank you to all the advocates, parents, and supporters who helped get this bill passed through the House and Senate. Great news for the safety of college students. #EndHazing #sorority #fraternity
🚨Historic win! The Stop Campus Hazing Act (S. 2901, H.R. 5646) passed Congress tonight! This crucial legislation will bring much-needed transparency and lasting cultural change to college campuses, helping to #endhazing. #fraternity #sorority #LegislativeVictory

I agree this recent cover of @TheEconomist is unbelievably offensive in its ableism and ageism, especially during #DisabilityPrideMonth. Do better!
Ableism in One Picture: A Disappointing Stance by The Economist
The recent cover of The Economist, featuring a walker adorned with the Presidential Seal and the headline "No Way to Run a Country," is a blatant display of ableism. This image, from a publication that prides itself on insightful and balanced journalism, is both shocking and deeply disappointing.
The Implications of the Cover
1. Perpetuating Harmful Stereotypes: The cover reinforces the damaging stereotype that physical disability equates to incompetence or incapability. By implying that a person who uses a walker is unfit to lead, The Economist dismisses the abilities and potential of millions of individuals with disabilities.
2. Undermining Inclusivity: At a time when society is striving to be more inclusive and accepting, this cover sets us back. It suggests that those with physical disabilities cannot hold positions of power or influence, which is not only false but incredibly harmful.
3. Disrespect to Disabled Leaders: Many leaders with disabilities have made significant contributions across various fields. This cover disrespects their achievements and perpetuates a narrative that physical ability is a prerequisite for leadership, which is a gross misrepresentation of reality.
The Economist's Responsibility
As a respected news organization, The Economist has a responsibility to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity, not reinforce harmful biases. This cover fails in that responsibility and highlights a troubling acceptance of ableism within its editorial practices.
A Call for Accountability and Change
The Economist must be held accountable for this ableist representation. It should:
- Issue a Public Apology: Acknowledge the harm caused by this cover and apologize to the disability community.
- Commit to Inclusivity: Implement editorial guidelines that prevent such discriminatory content in the future.
- Highlight Disabled Voices: Dedicate space to stories of leaders and achievers within the disabled community to counteract the negative message this cover sends.
This cover by The Economist is more than just a poor editorial choice; it is an affront to the progress made towards disability inclusion. It is a stark reminder of the pervasive ableism that still exists in media and society. We must demand better from our news organizations and continue to fight for a world where disability does not define a person's worth or ability to lead.
ID: An image of a walker with the Presidential Seal of the United States attached to it. The cover headline reads "No Way to Run a Country," suggesting a negative stereotype about physical disability and leadership. This is the cover of The Economist magazine for the week of July 6th-12th, 2024.

Rep Pat Schroeder was a @ChiOmegaXO & fierce women’s rights pioneer. Her 1998 book “24 Years of Housework ... and the Place is Still a Mess. My Life in Politics” chronicled her frustration with male domination & slow pace of change in Congress. RIP, Sister.

Good. Because there’s a huge crowd at the west entrance— been waiting to get in since before 2 pm and literally no movement until 2:30 and most of us still not in yet at 2:43. Anyone know what’s going on? #GoTrevs
Experiencing this tradition never gets old for us @BadgerFootball fans. 🏈Thanks for sharing the backstory, @CollegeGameDay ! #OnWisconsin
For 25 years, House of Pain's 'Jump Around' has been one of the best traditions at @BadgerFootball and in college football.
Until this season, Everlast had never experienced it in person.
