Killing Medicaid, killing vaccines, killing Social Security: It all has one purpose. The Nazis called people who required public assistance Lebensunwertes Leben: Lives unworthy of living. They had another term too, for people unable to work — Unnütze Esser: useless eaters. The elderly, the disabled.

Top tip. Don’t have insomnia in the middle of a coup. An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments. It’s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ‘team lead’ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ‘data-driven’ model

I’m seeing a lot of people frame the threat to the 504 only in terms of affecting education and kids with IEPs. It affects EVERYONE. From curb cuts to access to government buildings to sign language interpreters in disasters to accessible medical facilities, it is a civil rights threat to ALL.

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

REMINDER: The fight for #Section504 didn’t start in a courtroom and it won’t end in one. In 1977, #Disabled folks put their bodies on the line to secure #EqualAccess to #PublicSpaces. Now, 17 states want to turn back time. Not on our watch. #Disability #History #StopTheRollback dredf.org/protect-504

This is also why I think students have taken to AI in droves. If they have all had covid repeatedly each year, their brains are being affected. Critical thinking is harder, writing is harder, doing homework is harder. Why not use the plagiarism machine which gives definitive-feeling answers?

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, constituent here. Why do none of your offices have voicemail set up?? All I get is a robo voice saying "Sorry...not available." At least pretend to care about your constituents and let them leave messages?
