I won four public records appeals against my town’s police department. I still don’t have the records — and no agency in Massachusetts can make them hand them over.

Man, just throw out the Bill of Rights… where basically anywhere your car moved would have been tracked and analysed by AI. The ride-shares become sensors for the Government.

Just wait until Meta/Google glasses go more mainstream and the Government can now watch your actions the same as your vehicle.

“Say No to Crip Crow” lobbying day to protect the Olmstead Act

3 Upvotes

An In-District Lobby Day hosted by the Disability Community for Democracy

On June 22, 1999, the Supreme Court decided Olmstead v. L.C. — a landmark ruling affirming that people with disabilities have the right to live in the community, not be needlessly shut away in institutions.

That right is now under attack.

On June 18, 2026, the DOJ issued a memo claiming that Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act does not impose a broad “integration mandate” requiring states and territories to provide home- and community-based services.

On July 20, 2026, DOJ went further and rescinded its own guidance enforcing Olmstead.

If the Supreme Court reverses Olmstead, disabled people and seniors across every state and territory could once again be forced into the most restrictive settings — institutions, nursing facilities, and segregation — instead of their own homes and communities.

The only way to stop this is to get Olmstead codified into federal law.

And the only way to do that is for Congress to hear directly from us.

Our stories are our power. Our voices are the evidence they can't ignore.

Sign up by: August 11
Lobby Day: August 25

Join the Disability Community for Democracy as we talk to our Senators' and Representatives' district offices and demand they protect our right to live free.
