Same thing parents of autistic kids do to them and nobody wants to ban that therapy because we aren’t considered normal either. Gay, trans, or autistic we are an embarrassment to the people who are supposed to love us and protect us. And that hate? It transcends colour, religion, and politics.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

We told anyone who would listen that boiling learning down to a multiple-choice question assessment at the end of each year would lead to teaching to the test. That teachers would feel forced to teach test-taking strategies rather than teaching life strategies

Truth-tellers don’t get silenced because they lie. They get silenced because they remind others, they’re not crazy.
This whole system was lost long before the military stormed our streets. But we will still resist. Unbought. Unbowed. Loud. And that matters, especially at the end. #Resist

Sigh. He’s going to have to excommunicate Republican Catholics, especially Vance. That’s the only way they’ll get their heads out of their asses. Except Vance because he’s a fake everything so he won’t care. And no, he’s no Henry VIII to start a new church.

Pope Leo met with US bishops at the Vatican, telling them to firmly address inhumane treatment of migrants. He’s received dozens of letters expressing fears, and the pontiff “is very personally concerned about these matters,” said El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz.

Even though it’s a fascinating story, there’s no reliable evidence that a woman killed over a thousand American soldiers with poisoned kisses. It’s a modern viral legend mixing old “poison maiden” myths and spy tales—fun to read, but not historical fact.

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Loyalty to DJT matters.

All of these things were built by Democrats. they were never fixed by the Republicans. now they are crumbling because the #Republicans broke them. that means clearly the #Democrats are going to have to again fix the country. When is this going to ever make sense to the people who support this bs?
