Republicans Walk Back Their Attacks on Disabled People… Sort Of
We’re sweating! We’re hyperfixating! Because a bunch of conservative attorneys general have filed a lawsuit trying to weaken or eliminate Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which served as a precursor to the Americans with Disabilities Act. This week, Jess and Imani get into the conservative legal movement’s attempts to roll back Section 504—and how it could constitute government-sponsored eugenics. And even though conservatives are pretending that they’re really just targeting trans folks, why should we believe them?
