If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.
This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China.
These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

Trump move to pardon Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is ‘based on lies and hypocrisy’
Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big-time trafficker off the hook?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.
