#TuesdaysTerm is intersectionality!

Hey, CBS News... No shade to Pops, but rather than framing this story as inspirational, it would be better to illustrate/expose systemwide #transit system failures and how they harm #disabled users. Precisely why we need more disabled #reporters , #editors & #producers in #media
