A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

On this day in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed. The ADA is a landmark civil rights law fought for and won by disabled activists who demand dignity, access, and justice.

We honor this day by continuing the struggle for true accessibility, inclusion, and liberation for all.

This is extremely creepy and bad - giving up on the dream of housing people and caring for their needs, throwing disability rights principles right o it the window

Silly question: ‘Would you risk your life for a book?’ From
The YIVO institute, Center for Jewish History, lower Manhattan. Image on right: pile of books- like those smuggled out of Vilna by the people who ultimately relocated YIVO from there to here.

I’m very very happy to announce that I will serve as the
Martin Duberman Visiting Fellow at the New York Public Library in 2025-26. I’m writing about disability, sexuality, feminism, and law.

U.S. studies of negative income tax (=UBI) to the 70s show: People live healthier and better, have the ability to escape partner abuse & a hedge against worst behavior of employers!!!!! No wonder we never followed through. (see my & Wendy Mink’s book @pennpress.bsky.social Ensuring Poverty).

"I cannot, of course, deny that these men are surprised that this is the law; they really are surprised that there is any such thing as law. These defendants did not rely on any law at all. Their program ignored and defied all law. That this is so will appear from many acts and statements. . ." /2

Journalists are now in danger in Gaza — not just from Israeli attacks, but from starvation.

Today, 4 hedge fund managers on Wall St. earn more in a year than every kindergarten teacher in America combined.

Teachers: join us for a town hall tomorrow w/ leaders from the AFT & NEA to discuss the enormously important issue of raising teacher pay & saving public education.
