It’s not until you or someone you love has a brush with disability to see how the odds are stacked against that person and what an ableist society we live in. I have gone my whole life blind to this reality (ergo I must have been part of the problem), now I see it everywhere.

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop. Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing. His crime—asking police for help.

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.

Thank you NPR for letting me speak my caregiver truth - that when I didn't have external caregiving support it was "imprisonment" and "hellish" and when we finally got external help, it racked up to $300k plus/yr, no coverage. #CaregiversCryForHelp npr.org/2023/06/27/118…
