And here's the initial story @jodiscohen.bsky.social and I wrote about civil rights cases grinding to a halt under President Trump.

Was wondering if you had heard anything about this since it’s interdepartmental (Medicaid).

Now to see if they actually resume in earnest or if they are slow-walked until the office is dissolved entirely.

I have my doubts, personally. But perhaps I am too cynical.

It is bound to still have an impact on people with disabilities, in the context of lived experience categories of discrimination combine in an individual: Black, female disabled person. Seems to be scope to exclude disability cases because they are deemed to rely on deleted categories.

Unfortunately the only civil rights they’re fighting for is whites
