From the article in TIME magazine:

''A mere 46 words that appear in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504 essentially prohibits all entities that receive federal funding from discriminating against disabled people."

"So yes, it is inextricably related to school 504 plans, but it goes far beyond that too. Not only was this law written to make sure that students with disabilities, from cerebral palsy to ADHD to a temporarily broken leg, are provided the reasonable accommodations they need to participate meaningfully in their school community, but it prevents a landlord from turning someone away just because they have low vision, an employer from refusing to hire a qualified applicant solely because that person uses a wheelchair, and hospitals from declining to provide interpreters for deaf patients."

"The plaintiffs’ prime concern, however, seems to hinge on the Biden Administration’s stipulation that “gender dysphoria … may be considered a physical or mental impairment,” which would grant these folks unique protections under disability law. For pages, the plaintiffs argue every which way that gender dysphoria was never intended to be, and is in fact excluded from being characterized as, a protected disability. Thirty-seven pages in, I’m picking up on a lot of what looks like transphobia (certainly worth resisting in its own right), but I don’t see the promised threats to Section 504 as a whole. And then, right there in bold letters, I see the heading: “Section 504 is Unconstitutional.” And an entirely different argument begins to unspool."

"Forty-eight years later, the plaintiffs in Texas v Becerra argue that Section 504’s “universal scope unfairly surprises States by retroactively adding conditions to pre-existing federal spending programs.” I wonder what it means to be surprised by a law that’s been in place for nearly half a century. They claim it is coercive in that states lose all federal funding if they fail to comply with this law, and I think of all the imperfect or absent accommodations in all of the institutions I move through. I think how hard it must be to actually lose federal funding – how much these institutions must be already protected from these laws."

From https://unstrangemind.com/texas-v-becerra-a-direct-attack-on-both-trans-and-disabled-rights/

"If you reside in one of the 17 states involved in the lawsuit—Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia—urge your Attorney General to withdraw from the case. The National Council on Independent Living provides an Advocacy & Action Center to assist you in this process."

"If your state is not part of the lawsuit, encourage your Attorney General to support Section 504 by submitting an amicus brief."

"If we’ve learned anything from the unlikely victory of the underdogs in the Section 504 Sit-In, it’s that marginalized groups survive when we show up for each other…We are a valuable part of our communities, we belong here, and we’ve been shown how to fight."

With all the chaos going on with the Trump administration, I think it's very important that everyone watches this video, made by a civil rights activist and lawyer for over 20 years (as well as avid Pathfinder GM and TTRPG enjoyer). He goes over the importance that we the people need to stop Trump from enacting his facist agenda, calls out the Democratic party and liberals for letting everything so far happen, and most importantly, repeatedly showcases the power that the American population and what we can do to stop all of this.

I will note that this video only has 13K VIEWS! It is long, about an hour and a half, but it's divided up into chunks in case you don't have that much time to devote to watching a video. Please watch this, sooner rather than later, even if it's only bit by bit. I regret not watching it sooner when it came out because if I did, I might've been able to contribute to a rally by now.

It is slightly outdated because it was before Elon started gutting the government but the overall message remains the same. We need to fight back, or else America is at risk of becoming another Nazi Germany.

If you care about immigration rights, racial minority rights, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, trans rights, and otherwise the rights of those who are oppressed in America, please watch the video and reblog this post.

"Despite running in a reliably blue state, McBride emphasized her work leading a bipartisan push to pass paid family and medical leave in the state. She also touted support from unions and work to raise the state minimum wage. Though she didn’t lean on the historic nature of her run, she alluded to a broader theme of respect – specifically, that everyone deserves a member of Congress that respects them and their families."

horses have been made into the ideal worker over thousands of years of breeding and domestication and yet now are made to race to the point of exhaustion and injury and sometimes death to entertain the rich if they fail they are killed and if they succeed they are spared until they stop succeeding and then they are killed

even the most successful racehorses often end up beaten and starving in kill pens despite spending their lives earning millions of dollars for their stables their owners and thousands of sports betters

humans and horses are alike in our struggle under the boot of uncaring aristocracy

do not forget the love that fuels you in your anger do not let them break you and make you into their idea of animals they do not know that animals too have love and courage and reason and camaraderie they do not know that we have always been animals and animals feel so much more than their beloved hate and fear

Kiss, marry or avoid a trans girl like me? 🤔

If you are trans or consider yourself an ally to trans people PLEASE learn about DIY HRT and learn about the myths associated with it. Even if you're already on HRT. Even if you aren't on HRT. Even if you never plan to go on HRT. The more you know the better ally you can be to trans people in these upcoming months. The more people know, the less harmful misinformation will be spread.

Would you bend over a trans girl?
