BTW, the original abbreviation for DEI was actually DEIA and the A is for Accessibility.

Here's an in-depth exploration of information you might wish to include in your Accessibility info for your venue or event, written by a disabled man!

Free to read.

Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man.

"The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible" is a good place to start, but then planning a night out, more information is better than less! Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events.

If you put ICE officers in jail, their names become a matter of public record. Then the public gets to see exactly how low standards have fallen with the recent hiring blitz.

Doesn't matter if the courts shut this down, you've won the PR battle by showing Nazis and Proud Boys wearing ICE uniforms.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver
