I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

I'm not going to RT the fucking Atlantic but I do want to remind everyone that one in four U.S. adults is disabled, so one in five students accessing accommodations at their uni is among the most non-story stories ever penned.

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

It is a good thing, actually, that more students at elite schools are receiving testing accommodations. It's good because it means more disabled people are going to top universities AND face less stigma in seeking them out.

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Right now, we live in a time in which the president is immune and can grant immunity to basically anyone he wants. They are acting accordingly.

There are more disabled people who are pretending to be healthy so that you don’t judge us or think us incapable than there are healthy people pretending to be disabled. If you find yourself questioning whether someone is really disabled, you’re doing the work of the oppressor. #disability
