A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Once again, I call on federal agents to target violent criminals, not neighbors walking down the street, going to church, or putting up Christmas decorations. Stop targeting people simply going about their lives because of the color of their skin, as you are doing in Charlotte.

People aren't telling women that their number 1 priority is their career. Nor does having a career mean that a woman doesn't have a family.
Having a career gives a woman the ability to leave an abuser.
That's what the GOP is trying to eliminate: escape routes.

They pick on the weak.
They pick on the vulnerable.
They want it to look like an intimidating show of force.
There’s also something more nefarious behind it…. Which is that they’re counting on society to not care if a disabled person gets *more* disabled.
We need you to care.

“I think they wanted to make a point,” said Quinn Haberl, who is 4-foot-6 and legally blind. “So they picked the weakest person they could find and made a big show out of it.”
