Head Start is a 60-year-old US Department of Health and Human Services program that, among other things, creates inclusive and accessible classrooms for children with disabilities. But those applying for funding were told by the Trump regime to avoid the words "inclusion" and "disability." 🤡

Grateful to @paidleaveforall.bsky.social for shining a light on the ways family caregivers have to squeeze caregiving duties into whatever time they have since we don’t have paid leave in the US, even if that’s an already busy holiday

This may be one of the best videos DJI has commissioned. Thank you Xiomara and @elenahung.bsky.social for being willing to share your story. The IDEA is essential for disabled kids futures . We must protect and increase its funding. #IDEA50
For 50 years, IDEA has helped disabled children get the education they need to dream big about their future. With more than $38 billion gap in IDEA funding, elected officials must protect and strengthen IDEA to ensure students continue to get the services they need. #IDEA50

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...
