The military budget is $1 Trillion dollars, the largest military budget in US history. It has a $200 Billion slush fund of un-allocated funding.

Yet Trump said today, to "try and find money" within the Pentagon budget to pay our soldiers.

Is it on the "tariff shelf?"

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.

The difference between how this officer speaks to the cyclist, versus how he speaks to the driver is unacceptable.

A Black child’s meltdown is seen as aggression 😕
A white child’s meltdown is seen as a cry for help 🙂‍↔️
This double standard costs lives, opportunities, and dignity.
Listen to Black autistic voices.
Believe our experiences ♾️

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.
