Another example of the disability visibility advocacy Alice Wong worked on: she was a vocal supporter of Palestinians and refugees, because Palestinians' and refugees' rights are also disability rights.
She co-organized the ongoing important Crips for eSims campaign

Alice Wong did incredible work.
She connected and built a community of disabled people that celebrated each other, embraced our differences, and amplified marginalized voices.
Please learn about her and the work that must continue.

The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.
Exactly how disabled people often are.

So, I've been contemplating whether or not to say this, and had hoped I would have a chance to tell Richard this to his face last night, but he bolted out of that room right quick.
But one of the things that's been clear to me since I launched A Better DFL? People are hungry for change.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

As a linguist, it is just so aggravating to hear every time he is criticized in any way, people saying "But he is a great linguist!" (Let's just say this is not, uh, the consensus of the field)

In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.
