Love is an observable force, evil is an illness to be cured, light will pour from the sun long after we need it, I have a gun and I swear to GOD I'm not fucking around
A lot of leftist accounts are suspiciously quiet on the section 504 lawsuit, proposed medicaid cuts, and the "make America healthy again" executive order.
I know other leftists are not the enemy but if we don't have able bodied allies and general population support, there's no hope of pushing back against these ableist policies. These big accounts ignoring a massive minority at risk is scary. The current admin is the problem but there's no hope of a solution without allyship.
The suit challenges a Biden administration decision that considered "gender dysphoria" a disability and goes even farther in questioning ass
"(*The 504 plan) *That law has turned out to be hugely important in education, offering an even broader definition of students with special needs than the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden administration in September 2024, saying that it was “abusing executive action” to sidestep the law. Under the Biden administration the Section 504 definition of disability was expanded to recognize that “gender dysphoria . . . may be considered a physical or mental impairment.”
The state was suing, Paxton said, "because HHS has no authority to unilaterally rewrite statutory definitions and classify 'gender dysphoria' as a disability."
The suit spends over 30 pages objecting to the addition of gender dysphoria to the Section 504 definition. It argues against the rule’s understanding of gender dysphoria. It argues against the characterization of Olmstead, a 1999 case that found persons with mental disabilities have the right to live outside of institutions. It argues that the new definition conflicts with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It asserts many negative impacts for each of the states that have joined the suit, including, in many cases, challenges with Medicaid compliance.
Then, on page 37, as it reached its third of four counts, the lawsuit switches gears, arguing not for an excision of the new language, but the elimination of Section 504 entirely. The suit argues that Section 504 is “coercive, untethered to the federal interest in disability, and unfairly retroactive” and therefore unconstitutional.
When confronted with protestors, the communications director for the Iowa Attorney General’s office told Michaela Ramm of the Des Moines Register, “The Iowans who were fed lies to show up at our office today in freezing temperatures deserve the truth, and the truth is that no one’s 504 plan is being changed or removed.”
But the language of the lawsuit is clear. The fourth item under “Demand for Relief” says “Declare Section 504, 29 U.S.C. § 794, unconstitutional.”
It’s followed by: “Issue permanent injunctive relief against Defendants enjoining them from enforcing Section 504.”
If anyone has links or further advice on how US Citizens and Residents can take action to keep Section 504, please reblog. I might be Canadian but I know people in the US who have kids that this would affect terribly if removed.
#are leftists suspiciously quiet or is this an issue with large scale news reporting#i have like 3 daily newsletters and multiple push notis for different news outlets. per day. and haven't seen anything about this.#this is like fully my personal alley too like#i hate this kind of bullshit divisive guilt tripping language lol
Both. And by leftist accounts I meant social media accounts ran by leftists with hundreds of thousands to millions of followers. The media is silent but major news outlets have been bought or are kowtowing to the current admin so that's not a surprise. I expected better from larger leftist accounts who provide news.
I honestly don't care if people don't like the way I worded something. I wrote this in a panic, completely frustrated, and very scared because no one was talking about it all these horrible things happening to disabled people. There's a real risk to disability rights and disabled American lives so I'm tired of trying to sugarcoat things especially for able bodied folks.
Not to mention, disabled people have been almost entirely left out of the conversation about increasing hostility towards minorities by everyone who isn't disabled. The number of times I've seen "stay strong LGBT+ people and POC" posts with no mention of disabled people is discouraging. It's straight up ridiculous to accuse disabled people of "being divisive" for being angry that abled leftists are quite literally dividing us out of the leftist community by ignoring issues related to us.
You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.
You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.
You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.
You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.
You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.
You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.
You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.
the kindest, most intelligent, funniest and most beautiful people i know are trans women. the world would not be the same without trans women, and it wouldnt be half as joyful or creative or worth living in.
