Our son has had 5 seizures. In some, he stopped breathing.. His lips turned blue.. We were terrified. My wife turned that fear into a book to help raise awareness — Ivan’s Seizure Helpers. It’s now a Kickstarter #ProjectWeLove 💜

To show our appreciation, we’re adding a special page in the book to thank every backer who contributes $100+ (unless they prefer to stay anonymous). Your name, in print, helping kids be seizure-ready. 💜

1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy. 456,000 children in the U.S. live with it. That’s hundreds of thousands of families who’ve felt the same fear we have. This book is for them—for all of us.

We’ve held our son, praying he’d breathe again. A few weeks ago, he said he saw rainbows—and our hearts dropped. That’s how trauma lingers. This book is how we fight back.

Wake up y'all... It feels like y'all would rather a Republican win than to back a truly progressive candidate or uplift your superstar Democrats like @aoc.bsky.social. It's time for the old guard to step aside and let the next generation of democratic leaders breathe some life into the party.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @barackobama.bsky.social @kamalaharris.com @governor.ny.gov @tomsuozzi.bsky.social @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co and the rest of the democratic leadership need to back @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, the people's choice. We're not gonna beat MAGA doing old establishment shit! 🙅

Shame on Democrats for not only failing to support Rep Al Green during The State of Dysfunction, but for voting to censure him.

We need way MORE Al Green.
And way LESS maga.
