Great article from @juliametraux.bsky.social in @motherjones.com on the Trump administration ceasing to monitor disability inclusion & axing the 7% goal for govt contractors. After COVID, there are more highly-qualified working disabled people than ever before. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I really can’t get over that all this, the threatening to invade Canada, the torturing of that German guy with a green card, the soon to happen deaths of millions of people from the dismantling of USAID, is a response to the absolute dipshit question “has wokeness gone too far?”

Even this Federalist Society (conservative) piece is calling out the 17 Republican AGs who are lying that their Section 504 lawsuit won't dismantle disability rights. fedsoc.org/commentary/f...
But the states do not deserve the massive windfall the rest of their lawsuit seeks. The press release fails to mention that the states also want to do away with vital protections for disabled Americans, on a wide variety of statutory and constitutional grounds. The states contend that they should not have to serve people with disabilities in “the most integrated setting”—in-home or in the community—rather than in institutions. The states complain that they should be able to threaten their disabled citizens with a “serious risk of institutionalization,” even when institutionalization would be unnecessary and illegal. The states want disabled Americans to wait until they’re forced into institutions before they can claim their right to live freely in their families, homes, and towns. And—just for good measure—the states argue that prohibiting disability discrimination in federally funded programs is unconstitutional.

The rules targeted by the states’ lawsuit say people with disabilities can sue to defend their liberty before being actually institutionalized. As the first Trump administration reaffirmed in a 2020 statement, people “need not wait until the harm of institutionalization or segregation occurs” before acting to protect their freedom. People need not wait to try to recover their independence after the fact if a state’s “failure to provide community services or its cut to such services will likely cause a decline in health, safety, or welfare that would lead to the individual’s eventual placement in an institution.”

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

For @motherjones.com, I reported on how looming Medicaid cuts could deprive millions of disabled people of health insurance. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump's Medicaid cuts would leave millions without health care
The human cost will be brutal—unless a few Republicans develop spines.

Page One, @inquirer.com: MUNICH, Germany — Last week will be remembered as the historic moment when the Trump Administration broke America’s historic bonds with fellow democracies in Europe to pursue alliances with far-right extremist governments that admire Russia more than do the United States.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
