My wife and I are both disabled and mobility device dependent.

evayarch.bsky.social•124 days ago

If it goes through how do we sue them for removing protections, cause I will not go back.

Weird that Texas does when their own governor has his own lack of abilities

lavenderbluesummer.bsky.social•124 days ago

Weird that Pam bondi sued gov hochul and AG
When Abbott and Desantis fought Biden for 4 years

Can they be more hateful and disgusting? I suppose they can.

This is the basis for the right to education for students with significant disabilities. So do these states want kids to sit at home as was the case before 1973?

cgwilliams.bsky.social•123 days ago

Part of me says except Texass. Since their own DEI gov just signed anti DEI paperwork. I would love to see him function without all the DEI stuff he is accustomed to like ramps, bathrooms and parking.
However other Texans should not suffer because they have corrupt mfers running the place.

bettybooptoo.bsky.social•124 days ago

Old “Wheels” who pretends to govern Tex-ass is not going to be happy about this…. Or is he the 1 exception?

‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

The cruelty is the point.

Why are there so many assholes?! I am really struggling to understand and rationalize the cruelty but I'm also glad that I can't.

Fascism’s daily attacks on minorities and weaker groups count on us to not speak out all the while they are subconsciously dehumanizing them in people’s minds to where eventually they accept things like the Nazi T4 program https://youtu.be/4xto54XTjHM

semisophrosyne.bsky.social•122 days ago

Hey Jess, do you know what parts MO specifically takes issue with leading them to want to abolish all of section 504? The fact sheet says “some things” but I’m unclear on which ones.

srkvt.bsky.social•124 days ago

Disability and Health Data System.
Website removed, and redirected to CDC's website modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders.

jomockingbird.bsky.social•123 days ago

This is truly despicable. #sharonsaysso has a great explanation of the Facts on her instagram stories right now

swede700.bsky.social•124 days ago

State Attorney General contacted. 👍

armstrnd.bsky.social•124 days ago

I would have a class of mixed kids with Special Education needs, 504 needs, GT needs and students with no extra needs. I was supposed to meet all needs of all students. That’s not mention students with mental health problems that may or may not be covered under those programs. I have since retired

armstrnd.bsky.social•124 days ago

Which was anyone who applied (and couldn’t get into Special Education) had to have their needs met too. But Special Education teachers wouldn’t help them so it was up to the teacher. Basically this led to nobody in the class falling. Students were given extra extra time to complete assignments. So..

armstrnd.bsky.social•124 days ago

When I was teaching we were informed whether a student was Special Education or Gifted and Talented and we had to adjust our teaching. But both group’s needs were met because there were Special Education and GT teachers helping them. Then 504 came. Teachers were told kids who qualified …..

polaropposit.bsky.social•123 days ago

Just when I thought these assholes couldn’t be bigger assholes

roamncmagnon.bsky.social•124 days ago

Glad you're on top of these travesties

jrriver.bsky.social•124 days ago

Early in the Nazi regime they went after people with disabilities, gassing them in mobile vehicles. For an American administration to remove disabled people from care and protection is immoral and evil.

tgibb.bsky.social•124 days ago

How long until sane people just empty out of red states? I honestly wonder why it hasn't happened already

evayarch.bsky.social•124 days ago

Also by leaving you are giving up a vote to change that place. Honestly we need to get together to move into places that were gerrymandered to vote, they want to change the rules so we should move to their court and take their ball.

drklassen.bsky.social•124 days ago

Also, the fact we still have vestiges of the old Confederation in our Representative Democracy means making redder states more red leads to more red power in the Senate.

tgibb.bsky.social•124 days ago

They'll just be gerrymandered again, I honestly think mass exodus would speak the loudest.

State coffers will empty. Change would have to follow.

jackalindanger.bsky.social•124 days ago

To be fair, if you stay and die you are also giving up a vote to change it. So I guess making your decision based on your safety and privilege is the best way to do it.

tatnurse13.bsky.social•124 days ago

Moving is expensive. Finding housing, a job, coming up with moving expenses like renting a Uhaul (which has gone way up in price), deposits on utilities and rental plus 1st months rent just for starters. Most people can't afford to move. 😞

tgibb.bsky.social•124 days ago

I get that totally and know a lot of poeple will be stuck, but for young people or those without much to lose... there is no incentive stay.

Go north or go west.

Especially young women or those with daughters

ledrapeaunoir.bsky.social•124 days ago

It’s what they want. They want a new constitution and that’s how they will get it.

harold303.bsky.social•123 days ago

Even Mississippi is like, "You should sit this one out."

dvtgrl.bsky.social•124 days ago

Why is the Republican party so hateful? Just the absolute worst ppl out there.

televisedanarchy.bsky.social•124 days ago

As Jesus said, let those with disabilities be cast from society and suffer for their lack of choice in the matter. 🤦

lavenderbluesummer.bsky.social•124 days ago

Jewish are suing
I’m
Sure others are too
Because 27 religious groups suing for not going after migrants in houses of worship and they are pro migrant

jetorange.bsky.social•124 days ago

Despicable Bullies going after are most vulnerable. Shameful

jatman.bsky.social•124 days ago

Thank you for making this diabolical plot known. I'm in a "safe" state, but this is not the America I want to see.

danadelibovi.bsky.social•124 days ago

Missouri once was a leader in helping children with disabilities, as with the Missouri First Steps Program and Republican Kit Bond’s Parents as Teachers initiatives. Now look at these cruel bastards.

poeta-az.bsky.social•124 days ago

Wow, the Republican Party is so damn mean
There’s no way to give this sheen
If you don’t want a band of louts
You will have to vote them out!

richarddonquixote.bsky.social•124 days ago

Deny Defend Depose is lost on them I guess.

seaeva2023.bsky.social•124 days ago

Every time, everywhere, is about them, their ways, their feelings, their $$$, their wants, their religion, their race, their vision of the world.They push others to carry their burden so "their" lives are protected. They disregard you and yours.We do not count. 😏

I have disabilities.. and medical issues. I am so scared and just want to die already

pistisspirit.bsky.social•122 days ago

Let us not forget that a quarter million people with disabilities were put to death by the Nazis in pursuit of a perfect Aryan race. Musk's Nazi salute, his (and now Vance's) support of the AFD in Germany are NOT misunderstood. They are exactly what they appear to be. Woke? WAKE UP!

soshepersisted.bsky.social•124 days ago

I wonder if this is just another way to force women to be at home. Force women to birth the severely disabled then abandon them. Punish them. Demonize them.

roothog.bsky.social•124 days ago

Facist always start at the point of presumed weakness.

mapgirl61.bsky.social•122 days ago

What in God’s name is the rationale for abolishing Section 504?? Don’t any of these people have kids with disabilities??

eclectic-goth.bsky.social•122 days ago

Exactly

witchofthewood.bsky.social•124 days ago

I have called and called, it goes to vm everytime and I keep leaving messages. Our students deserve better.

wholetree.bsky.social•124 days ago

...excluding Mississippi, it strikes me as odd that the South would like to make their education systems even worse than they already are.

lavenderbluesummer.bsky.social•124 days ago

They don’t
Their voters don’t want this

wholetree.bsky.social•124 days ago

...mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, King Cheeto won Southern states by huge margins, which means the voters were absolutely vibing with what he was selling... while on the other hand... on the other hand.... wait, I'll come up with something....

drklassen.bsky.social•124 days ago

I think they weren't paying attention to anything of his on sale except for "hate LGBTQ+, POC, and women". That's what they were voting for.

wholetree.bsky.social•124 days ago

Those are my assumptions too. However, they were actively denying and scoffing at all the other stuff that people like us were warning them about. Which, in my mind, is the definition of willful ignorance, and I have little sympathy for people who purposely stop learning due to ideology or religion.

drklassen.bsky.social•124 days ago

True... I think they literally just didn't care.

odelldouty.bsky.social•122 days ago

that's the point, the less the people know, the better they listen and the less they argue... dismantling education is one of the keystones

lovecolousa.bsky.social•124 days ago

I actually think that Musk and his fascist friends BELIEVE in depopulating the world by getting rid of all ‘useless eaters’ — the old, disabled, jobless, and generally needy and people who don’t look or act like them by just letting them die. They have no empathy and no moral grounding!

roookii.bsky.social•124 days ago

That sure seems like the agenda.
