The film touched upon many themes that resonate in this moment. Given the recent rescission of federal funding to public media, this film also demonstrated the powerful storytelling that is possible when public media organizations have adequate funding. (🧵 2/3)

We're thrilled to have co-sponsored last month's ADA 35 celebration with MacArthur Foundation, hosted at Access Living's incredible space. This event featured a panel on the @amexperiencepbs.bsky.social documentary Change, Not Charity, directed by Oscar-nominee @jimlebrecht.bsky.social. (🧵 1/3)

Patty Berne, one of the primary architects of Disability Justice, died earlier this year. Despite Berne’s enormous impact, there have been very few obituaries. So I wrote one. #PattyPresente

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.

34 disabled people got arrested in a Senate office building last week protesting Medicaid cuts. Just a reminder that there are people putting their bodies on the line to stop this murderous budget. They’re fighting for their lives and yours. Are you fighting for them?

I was lucky enough to see Patty Berne talk and perform, I owe so much to their work with Sins Invalid www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LHN... From Sins Invalid statement: "Patty was skin, tooth, and bone. Now, she is starlight. May her brilliance continue to guide us." drive.google.com/file/d/1y3LJ...

1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Call 202-224-3121 and urge your Congressman and Senator to "Vote NO"!

Seeing on IG that Patty Berne, co-founder & artistic director of the disability justice-based movement & performance project Sins Invalid, “joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025.” Berne was a brilliant practitioner of disability justice & their passing is a huge loss. RIP Patty Berne. sinsinvalid.org

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

“Recent policy changes around COVID-19 vaccines are already sowing chaos and confusion and restricting vaccine access — including for people who should still be eligible to receive them.” I wrote about RFK Jr’s anti-vax chaos for @thesicktimes.bsky.social. thesicktimes.org/2025/06/19/t...
