They're asking for it. For the rest of us. 🤬
Then all of the vile hate for the vulnerable. For trying to exist. For trying to be accepted. For living.
Word of mouth, social media, Townhalls, protests, etc...whatever it takes to get the word out!
This is Nazi Eugenics in play & no one should stand for it!

Fuck Republicans.
Im actually surprised Oklahoma isn't on this list cause I am colorblind, and I went through SO MUCH discrimination in school and nearly flunked out HS after being a straight A student, bc so many teachers refused to believe me and purposely wrote in colors I said I can't see!
These assholes want special kid gloves to parachute them into positions they're underqualified for and to make it a felony for anyone to be mean to them...but everyone else can apparently just suffer and die.

We will lose SO many bright kids if they get rid of 504! 🙇♀️
I wish that assistance had existed when I was in HS & college in the 1960s. I got into a magnet HS, but then struggled and got mediocre grades. Went to a city college and struggled. ADHD wasn't known back then, so there were no meds or strategies or anything for dealing with it.
If the bad guys can't get rid of protections now, once all those voters realize it affects them personally there's no way they'll let it go.

This is the complaint from the Texas Attorney General.
The list of demands is on page 42 (and that part is in plain english). It does include eliminating 504, but the first 5 demands are mutually exclusive. They would accept any one of them.
They hate.
And they hate that they have to not by law.
It is important to radically accept that the GOP is the #PartyOfAbusers and to learn to react accordingly.
Name the behaviors. Grey rock. Cherish relationships. And focus.
Trump wants to destroy it all.

Autism? Death.
Physical disability? Death.
Anxiety? Death.
These people are Nazis. They’re Nazis and we the people need to treat them as such.
I mean, there was among well-meaning people, but Trump got into power on the backs of people who were never well-meaning.
But, your point is valid. Popular attitude and all.
Never surrender. Make assholes fight for every inch of ground. They'll get tired eventually, cause they don't really care.
I hope my last post didn't come off as implying it's a moral failing if you can't, just intended that we shouldn't approach social standards with a defeatist attitude.
I can't help feeling that if you were used to doing this, you'd know that.
Over the last few months (or thereabouts? I’m not exactly sure), there has been a huge uptick in people publicly using the r-slur. Both to/about people with cognitive disabilities, & generally as a pejorative to express contempt. It’s getting renormalized. 🫠
But I’m not sure if, or how much, the increase was already starting even before November.

Section 504 saved my life. Repeatedly. Even with that help school seriously fucked me up, but I would literally be dead without it.
