When a White House press secretary uses dehumanizing language like this - labeling millions of Americans as “terrorists” or “criminals” - it crosses a line that should matter to everyone, regardless of party.
This should never be acceptable from the people who speak for the President of the USA.👇

This is not "de-escalation"—this is state violence. The actions being taken are far from calming the situation; instead, they exacerbate tensions and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for human rights.

Study links greater inequality to structural changes in children’s brains
Researchers say findings show inequality creates toxic environment and reducing it is ‘a public health imperative’
Scientists have linked the impact of living in an unequal society to structural changes in the brains of children – regardless of individual wealth – for the first time.
