Thank you @JFritze for this needed piece: 'Sleeping in my car.' This Supreme Court case could change how disabled Americans book hotel rooms app.com/story/news/nation/20… via @asburyparkpress
'Sleeping in my car.' This Supreme Court case could change how disabled Americans book hotel rooms

'Sleeping in my car.' This Supreme Court case could change how disabled Americans book hotel rooms

Some advocates fear a Supreme Court case on ADA 'testers' could make it harder to force hotels to include accessibility information at booking.

Important survey - especially for people with mobility or sensory disabilities. Hotels are SUPPOSED to have up to date information on accessibility online. How many of them do? and is it accurate? Here is your chance to vent!

Making hotel reservations online? We need stories from people with disabilities about what it’s like when a hotel’s website does not provide any information about whether its rooms have accessible features. Survey deadline is June 30. Survey link: forms.gle/fg3REajZo6nbU7ZB7

Very glad to see that the #OmnibusBill includes a 4 year extension to 2027 of Money Follows the Person and Spousal Impoverishment protections. These investments will allow more older adults & people with disabilities to stay in their homes and communities. Now do mandatory #HCBS

🧵I want to share some thoughts about reporting on long COVID and other complex chronic illnesses. (e.g. below) This is a thread about the ethos behind these pieces, and how I’ve approached interviewing, writing, and the rest of it. 1/ teapaw.org/edyong209/status/15693…

When Pete Buttigieg comes for someone, he doesn’t carry a sledgehammer…he wields a scalpel. And in this must-see clip, Pete slices Ron DeSantis into a million little pieces.

Important piece from @kciesemier

My mom’s story has long made me feel weird about my place in the abortion conversation. But, my disability is actually not a weapon against abortion access, like I have been made to believe. It’s an argument for it. My latest for @nytopinion: nytimes.com/2022/07/31/opini…

The egregious decision leaves little recourse for those who endure discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and disability.
