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.

Well said, John!
I’m sure she’s being paid very well for her treasonous behavior!
So much for the “wall” between the Executive and the DOJ! Banana Republics have more guardrails than we do now!

Bondi is hit w/ a formal complaint by ~70 law profs, attys, & 2 ex FL Supreme Court justices, filed w/ the FL Bar. They accused her of "serious professional misconduct" for firing the lead prosecutor in a critical case, for *criticizing Trump in 2017*.

Day # 264 #proudblue

Growing up with protests: Civil Rights, women's rights (bras), rights for the disabled, murdering a President, candidates, leaders journalists.
I never in my wildest dreams thought my next protest would be frogs vs ICE.

Here we are. I'm thinking of scorpion or cactus for AZ.

Coincidence? There are no coincidences at this level. Follow the money and it will lead us the owner of this crypto account. And almost assuredly to someone who has strong ties and connections with Trump and the Trump Regime. #ProudBlue

Is this astounding claim true? They say they want to use it for catching illegal aliens, but once they have that access what's to stop them from, e.g., insulting the Orange One?

7th Circuit Court of Appeals has also just denied deployment of National Guard into Illinois

Trump can still federalize the Guard & will take it to SCOTUS

Will they let him send troops into Chicago or protect the 1st Amendment?

I want people to understand how counterproductive and damaging statements like this are.

First, to suggest our rights are determined by our zip code is problematic.

Second, when you throw away a state, you throw away all the people fighting in that state. That doesn’t help anyone.

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

Crimes against humanity are being committed at these “detention facilities “ aka concentration camps. We need to continue to raise this issue. Share it with your friends and family. They need to know the truth!
