GUT PUNCH

It happens in the mind
The stomach gets it first,
Before processing has time,
The waves of nausea burst.
Queasy knowing yells,
Silence still prevails,
Speechless it reveals,
How deeply this thing feels.

If you know a person who happens to be autistic, remind them that they make the world a better place. Make it clear you believe in them.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Zelensky says Russia’s massive strike amid peace talks shows Moscow isn’t serious about ending the war. While the U.S., Europe, and others are working on a real path to peace, Russia keeps prioritizing aggression. “We must not forget the reality. We must counter Russian strikes 24/7,” he said.

Tyrant, fascist, anarchist.

"This means anarchy is not just another word for the tyrannical or authoritarian abuse of power, or “lawless” conduct. It is a condition in which the very basis of political office has been undermined."

Why Donald Trump was the ultimate anarchist
The former president is being tried for his role in inciting anarchy but anarchia, in the Greek sense of “vacant office”, characterised his entire term.

Not a nurse, but I know that there is no healthcare without qualified, dedicated, nurses, and they are professionals.
This change in the Department of Education will have long lasting, serious, consequences for health care in the US.

Nurses are key you quality health care. This will be bad for healthcare. Fewer qualified people will get nursing degrees, there will be reduced access to, and a cap on, loans for nursing degrees. This suggests an intent to degrade health care.

Under #OneBigBeautifulBill, #Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing student loans". #47 and the #HealthcareIndustry are ... 'robber barons'.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.
