Cool, so now can I talk about how my former employer offered me severance only if I signed something not to talk about it because I was about to file a long term disability case and they knew it?

Your right to talk to a lawyer was never jeapordised. Your right to complain to the NLRB or threaten litigation/arbitration was also probably never in question. (Your claims may now be strengthened or expanded.) Your right to disclose it publicly, e.g. here, may not be protected.
There's some interesting paragraphs in the full ruling about providing support for other employees going through similar things, which would be prevented by such a severance agreement with disparagement and non-disclosure clauses. It's worth a read.
