“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

idk if i can really explain how bad disability rights is being attacked to you all it's like catastrophically bad

[inzaltsiknyam]

basically all critical infrastructure that keeps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities from going into state-run institutions is getting defunded. the federal grant that funds the federal (independent) protection and advocacy system to monitor for abuse and neglect in state-run institutions (and elsewhere, like group homes) is getting completely eliminated. research programs, e.g. LEND and UCEDD programs, are being eliminated. the developmental disability councils are getting defunded. this is basically a repealing of the 20th century. bobby jr. is burning down his uncle jfk's legacy--literally, these programs are so deeply non-controversial (outside of some pro-institutions supports in the IDD community lol) that they've continually existed in some form since the fucking KENNEDY administration. this is deeply unhinged, deeply fascist, and deeply unprecedented (for the U.S.!) behavior. it is also the modern european fascist playbook (co-created by U.S. fascists and conservatives) in action.

Forgot to add where I've learned this (I am a disability policy person at a small disability rights nonprofit). This is via a leaked Health and Human Services draft budget request, which the Washington Post has determined is genuine.
