Every damn day parents of disabled children have to watch this man attack our kids for existing. No provocation, no reason—just hate. He mocks what he’ll never understand and weaponizes their existence for power. We’re past outrage. This is cruelty, and we’re not staying quiet. #Pinks

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I love this. A brilliant idea for fighting misinformation, especially all of the live camera feeds isportlandburning.com/

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

This is an act of kindness but you need to understand that if this is you, telling people about it a week after the fact is likely to put those people right back into danger, and yourself.

You may never be able to safely tell anyone. For decades, if ever.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

When I’ve had blocks like that, sometimes it’s helped to read from genres that I don’t typically read from. It can help with inspiration

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
