"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

There is not one font that will be optimal for all users with dyslexia. Experts disagree on which fonts provide the best readability. But simplicity in typefaces is critical. Ideally, use fonts that are familiar or at least easily-parsed so that they quickly become familiar.

This is why it's important to keep DEIA in place so that American workers with disabilities have the opportunity to be productive in the workplace.
disabled people already find it difficult to find suitable work largely due to extreme hostility towards disabilities & the stubborn inflexibility of employers, how is streeting broadcasting that mental health problems are made up going to help this situation

These reasons are what we stand to prevent in the state of Kansas.
PSA: Disabled people do NOT deserve to:
- Go hungry
- Be made homeless
- Lose their scooters & cars
- Be discriminated at work
- Dehumanised as “scroungers”
- Receive poor care
- Abused
- Attacked
In fact, no-one deserves those things. So why is it ok for disabled people?

The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes”
