I’m excited to share that my article, Holding Out for Love: Why Disabled People Can’t Say “I Do”, is forthcoming in the Wake Forest Law Review (2026). It examines why marriage equality remains out of reach for many disabled people. SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

.@Delta first lost my shower chair yesterday, then delivered it BROKEN. Since then, I've received no meaningful response. This is essential durable medical equipment that I rely on for daily living, not just another piece of luggage. This is unacceptable.

The only research center for disabled parents is losing federal funding. Staff call it a “profound setback for disability rights and family equity.” motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Interesting that there's so much alleged commitment to bodily autonomy...until there isn't.

True marriage equality requires dismantling these barriers—through reforms to benefits programs, guardianship laws, and institutional practices, as well as cultural change.

Marriage carries profound social, legal, and economic significance. Until disabled people can freely exercise this right, the promise of marriage equality remains unfinished.

I was 8 years old when the ADA became law. As a disabled woman, I celebrate its promise—but also know how fragile our rights remain. 35 years later, we’re still fighting for true equality.

Tomorrow is the 35th anniversary of the ADA. It changed lives—but it was never enough. As disability rights face growing threats, I wrote about the law’s promise, its failures, and what’s at stake now.

Make no mistake: This is not in the best interest of our nation. Our lawsuit, which orginally put this on hold, is still moving forward in the courts. We're continuing to fight for what's right for public health.

NEW: Natl Association of Deaf files suit against White House Press Secretary, Chief of Staff and Exec office of President. They're seeking court order to restore American Sign Language interpreters to White House events/briefings:
Suit: "The White House inexplicably stopped using ASL interpreters for any of its public press briefings or similar events. Consequently, Defendants are now denying hundreds of thousands of deaf Americans meaningful access to the White House’s real-time communications on various issues of national and international import.”
