Disable people, exit left. Nazis will not help you.
They’re absolutely evil. There is no other explanation. They just want to ruin as many lives as possible, especially the lives of those who can’t fight back.
“Fuck them kids.”
Monsters are real
Of all the offices to cut, they chose the one that helps kids with disabilities. It’s not about budgets, it’s about cruelty
Remember, cruelty is always the point with Republicans…
Wait until the right starts suggesting that the disabled be euthanized.
I’m sure once ICE runs low on brown people to terrorize, they will reassign some “agents” to “take care of disabled people” 🙊
Disabilities is a democrat/woke thing now?
Fuck these fascists, wake up America.
Oh. So this is what pays for Amazon, Facebook and Apple tax cuts.
I’m not American I remember speaking to a mum with disabled child this time last year and I told her trump will not support ur child’s education and u will regret it if u vote for him. I feel for that child after reading this , it’s who I thought of straight away.
They hate vulnerable children. Between this and imminently overturning bans on conversion therapy….
OK practically how does the federal government administer the program? Obviously the cynical answer is “they don’t,” but that would be illegal. So, assuming they conform with the law as minimally as possible, how would they do it?
Linda freaking McMahon unbelievable
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is the legislation that provides for things like special education classes and Individualized Education Programs. Things meant to help disabled children learn and develop as normally as possible so they’re less likely to require government assistance in the future. You’d think the Republicans would be all for an evidence based practice meant to help train children into productive, independent members of society.
It’s what helps kids with autism, downs, and other developmental disabilities as well as severe mental illnesses like PTSD, major depression and anxiety have a place among their peers. Cutting services to such a vulnerable population is unjustifiable.
They say they aren’t nazis….the things those monsters did to the mentally ill & the physically disabled is the stuff of nightmares.
Trump said it himself. He is cancelling “Democrat Programs”, he has just handed the Dems the easiest campaign ad you can imagine.
Play the clip of Trump saying that, the screen fades to a dark red background, there is a dull, ominous, slightly unsettling pitch playing, the following text fades into view, line by line”
“Do you or someone you love have a child with special needs?
Have they been negatively been impacted at school by program cuts?
On October 11th, 2025 President Donald Trump shuttered the Office of Special Education”
Then replay the clip of Trump saying he will cut “Democrat programs”
Cut to bold text on a blue background: VOTE DEMOCRAT
Swap out the specific program as needed and run different versions. A lot of people only care when things impact them. If you can make enough of these for different cut programs and air them regularly, the odds are you will consistently catch some people who are impacted and remind them, over and over and over again, who did this and who to vote for to fix the issue.
The right almost always are the ones that set the media narrative because they get their messaging out, Democrats, largely, don’t. Democrats need to flood the zone. We all know they won’t.
Hold out Dems, this administration was going to do this anyway.
This year is the year we all witness republicans with their masks off. No pretense, this is 100% red party in all of their glory.
A judge will reinstate them.
I wondered what he meant about “democrat jobs.” Wasn’t sure if it was by voter registration or department. Looks like any department that helps the public is a “democrat job.”
These people are fucking broken.
The administration stooges at the CDC also tried to revoke medical accommodation telework for disabled workers (to also include disabled veterans).
Once word got out that they were doing this, they had to back peddle, because it actually violated the law.
When that happened last month, I made the post that this was just a test run and not the end of it. They would target non-federal worker disabled and special needs people as well.
……and here we are
Of course, they are going hurt those who need help the most. This is what they enjoy.
I work at a school and the number of SPED teachers, especially the new hires, who voted MAGA is astonishing. I’m betting a lot of them are about to lose their jobs. I know my district is bracing for historic cutbacks and we fully expect classroom sizes to exceed 45 students per core class next year.
Once again, the cruelty is the point.
Pure evil
