They're trying to privatize all these functions. That's at least part of the end goal (either that or flat out eugenics - h/t @urbavore.bsky.social for that thought). This is worth getting out on streets for on April 5th. handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

If you live in one of the 17 states that are suing to get section 504 ignored, and especially if you, a friend, a loved one, a colleague, a client, have/has a disability, you need to write to your attorney general and tell them to bow out of this suit. Here's how: dredf.org/protect-504/
