I've learned over the years that anyone and I mean ANYONE that's more concerned about people playing the system for disability benefits. Than those on disability currently suffering and not receiving enough support. Does not truly care about disabled people.

This is why I cancelled my subscription. International news sources are doing a better job of covering the United States. They are a disgrace!
I just opened my New York Times app to catch up on the millions of people protesting in the US.
There was nothing.
Zero.
I’m not joking; have a look yourself.
Can anyone update me? (and the NYT!)

In-person protests—with their noise, limited seating, and unmasked crowds—can be inaccessible to disabled people.
