✨ Did You Know? Today Is National #Disability Independence Day ➡️On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, recognizing disability rights as human rights. The #ADA opened doors to employment, transportation, public spaces, and community life, protecting millions from discrimination. 🎉July is also Disability #Pride Month — a time to honor disability identity, history, culture, and the activists who fought for access long before 1990. 🗣️Today and every day, I’m committed to advancing inclusiveness, access, and pride in all abilities across the #health and #fitness industry and within our broader community. From adaptive HIIT to senior strength training to all‑abilities programming, inclusion isn’t an add‑on — it’s the foundation. 📣Join me in making inclusion the norm, not the exception. And never forget: accessibility isn’t just policy — it’s people. Let’s move forward together. ✅ Like, comment, and share to spread public awareness! — Coach Julio

The flagship journal of the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) just published an editorial criticizing the #Trump admin for attempting to "Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States." https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/49/6/901/164764/Misguided-Brushes-of-a-Pen-Continue-to-Dismantle At an ADA conference yesterday, some members tried to pass out copies of the editorial just before #NIH Director #JayBhattacharya was scheduled to speak. They were blocked by security and escorted out of the building by police. The ADA had called in the police. Bhattacharya cancelled his talk. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/well/ada-conference-diabetes-trump.html PS: What's going on at the ADA? The editorial had a disclaimer saying that it only represented the views of the authors, not the association. But the association had the courage to publish it. Then the association blocked its distribution, at its own conference, even calling in the police. Does it support free speech, even in support of science? Or not? And why can police stop peaceful scientists from handing out an editorial, even at an event sponsored by the group publishing the editorial? #Censorship #DefendResearch #Medicine #TrumpVResearch #USPol #USPolitics

Update. After the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) physically evicted five members from an ADA event for peacefully handing out print copies of a pro-science, anti-Trump editorial published in the ADA's own flagship journal … https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/121657

two senior leaders resigned in protest -- the new President-Elect and the chair of the Scientific Sessions Planning Committee;
at least two others might have resigned, but these reports are still unconfirmed;
dozens of members walked out of the presidential address, holding signs that said "We stand with science"; and
colleagues launched a "shame on you" open letter against the ADA. https://www.change.org/p/an-open-letter-to-the-american-diabetes-association-shame-on-you

(I just signed the open letter and hope you will too.)

Update. Here's the #ADA side of the controversy. It was just following the law requiring nonprofit orgs to be nonpartisan. https://diabetes.org/newsroom/press-releases/american-diabetes-associations-statement-regarding-nonpartisanship

PS: A few points in reply:

Then why did the ADA flagship journal publish the pro-science, Trump-critical editorial in the first place? Is the ADA now saying that was a mistake? Will it try to retract that editorial?
The members distributing copies of the editorial were not acting for the association. Or if that was not clear, what if they'd made clear (as the authors of the editorial made clear) that they were only speaking for themselves, not for the ADA?
Could the ADA preserve its nonpartisanship by disavowing the peaceful leafleteers? Did it think federal law required it to call the police to remove them from the building?
Would the ADA have called the police on peaceful pro-Trump or pro-Battacharya leafleteers?
Would it have called the police on attendees who sat quietly in their seats wearing "We stand with science" buttons?

Pictures from last night! This was my outfit for the party after the premiere of “Kain und Abel.” The composer Felix Weingartner originally described my character Ada’s outfit as “loosely wrapped in a robe of white, fluffy fabric,” but in our production, she wears a burgundy business suit and an orange turtleneck sweater. So I wore my own fluffy white ensemble to the party! #KainUndAbel #Weingartner #opera #Darmstadt #Hessen #operaSinger #Ada
