When we see it, we all need to call this out.

There was a time when people could disagree on policy and still be civil.. 🤬

You can disagree with Walz’s policies and still know screaming slurs at his autistic son is pure moral failure. If your politics requires you to bully a child to make a point, the politics are owning YOU.

Commentary: Overall, Illinois public schools are just above the middle of the pack against national averages for achievement. But the pack fares badly against international comparisons.

The R word is not acceptable to hurl as a slur, especially by the President. His followers see it as their cue, though, and now they're bullying the Walz family with it. Do you see what Trump has unleashed?

Holiday gatherings can be really hard for autistic kids and adults.

And the reasons why aren’t always obvious.

So please use and share our guide to helping autistics avoid
meltdown triggers. At TPGA:

@sparkforautism.bsky.social have you checked out the new Spectrum Circle App?

I don’t represent them, just a parent who finally found a community of parents going through the same struggles I am raising a child on the spectrum.

I feel it could help a lot of parents, please check it out!

TBH I had no idea the journey I was about to go on when my child was diagnosed with #Autism I learned the hard way I had to lose a lot of people as well.

If you have been looking for your village, go get the #SpectrumCircleapp. It’s what you have been looking for. #asdmom

The #BlackFriday weekend blackout isn't just about the bottom line - it's also about protecting the environment. Join us Nov. 27th to Dec. 1st.

But, don't stop there. Continue showing retailers that #WeAintBuyingIt throughout the holidays and give back to your community instead.
Image of a megaphone next to the words "We ain't buying it". Text reads "Boycotting Black Friday isn’t just about hurting the bottom line of giant retailers and supporting your local community. It’s also about fighting climate change." Logos for Political Revolution and 50501 are in the bottom left corner, alongside the website weaintbuyingit.com Title: Invisible Impact. Text: With $10.8 billion spent last year on Black Friday alone, the contribution to climate change is massive. However, it’s rarely talked about or even reported on. Companies are already shady about how they impact the environment. And holiday sales are a major part of that. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos. Title: The Numbers. Text: Forget prices, these are the numbers we should focus on slashing: Image of a stack of boxes next to the text: In 2023, approx. 429,000 TONS of CO2 were emitted from Black Friday order deliveries. Image of a hand clicking on a Refund button next to the text: Logistics company Optoro stated that 1.2 billion gallons of diesel were used to return sale items. Image of a dump truck full of garbage next to the text: An estimated 80% of electronics, clothing, and plastic packaging will be thrown away, most likely ending up in a landfill. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos. Title: The Apologists. Text: Consumers may think that participating in Thanksgiving weekend sales means they are helping stores sell off old stock so that it doesn’t end up in landfills. This simply isn’t true. There wouldn’t be so much overstock to sell if companies made less product and consumer demand was lower. The irony is that the majority of Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases will end up in the landfill anyway. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos.

Re: the “free speech” zone and restrictions on protest only between 9am and 6pm, a lawsuit has been filed to challenge the legality of these First Amendment restrictions.
Protest hours at Broadview ICE facility too restrictive, lawyer suing village says
“The First Amendment isn’t something that has a time clock,” Robert Held argues in push to broaden 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. protest hours in western suburb.

Democrats' complacency is not cutting it. We need to crawl underneath and fix what’s broken.
"I’m proud to be a Democrat. But I’m also furious. Furious at the complacency, the calculation, and the careerism that treats politics like a game...while people’s lives hang in the balance."
