This is true for the disability community and all parents, caregivers and community. We see being shut out of public meetings and public information is being kept under wraps. Please call and email Ford and Minister of Ed to demand transparency #onted #onpoli

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

May peace prevail.
