This is a huge, yet necessary task. We cannot allow the insane neglect and abuse of our beautiful, neurodivergent, challenged people. A just society cares for the Earth’s vulnerable life forms.

“The surest way to screw up the world’s best technical school is to let feds tell them how to run it,” Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie wrote on X. “Congrats to my alma mater for turning down a bribe to let the executive branch dictate what happens on its campus.”

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.

This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents
Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day.

“These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.”

The man @jollygoodginger.bsky.social is currently in Chicago. He's working with Pilsen defence & Access patrolling schools to try snd prevent ICE from kidnapping parents and children. Not all heros wear capes but anyone protecting kids is a hero in my book.

They told you the real threat was the guy sweating on your roof in July, or the woman wiping your grandma’s chin for 10 bucks an hour. And you bought it.

You waved the flag chanted “USA!” while they took your healthcare, kid’s lunch, destroyed your farms to give billions to billionaires.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.
