Section 504 is a law that says a public institution must accommodate a person with disabilities. 17 states are suing the government over this law. Call if your state is one and ask your attorney general to drop the suit

Lately, I'm realizing that not only do I not love this nation but I really don't like it very much, either: not the one we have been and certainly not the one we're becoming now that we have rejected decency and elected inhumanity.
I'm not alone.

WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just clarified on X that the rescission of the OMB memo was simply to get the federal court case to go away, not lifting the funding freeze on anything that goes against Trump's EOs

Every single report on the Trump funding freeze — every report on Medicare portal, Head Start, homeless veterans programs — needs to mention immediately WHY. The freeze is in order to complete an ideological purge of so-called “woke” programming. This is IMPORTANT, y’all.

I don't watch the confirmation hearings because I'm hoping anything good will happen.
I don't expect any republicans to do right by the American people.
I watch to see the new ways in which they contort themselves to appease the orange nut job and the oligarchs.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Inspectors General are tasked with rooting out government waste. They have been purged by Trump because they could also identify his corruption.
DOGE is tasked with *pretending* to root out government waste. It has been installed to promote corruption to benefit Trump and his loyalest cronies.

Against MAGA/stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be brushed aside as trivial exceptions.

This is what happens when you don't properly evaluate pardon requests on an individual basis. Trump didn't look at prior criminal history, behavior in prison, or risk of dangerousness to the community following release. Now we all pay the price for him using the pardon power as a political reward.

The rules, if you are keeping track:
If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.
If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
