Donald Trump is trying to gut the Department of Education — the agency that makes sure that students with special needs are supported in our public schools.
So I asked: How has the Department of Education supported a student with special needs in your life?

Tell your reps: Protect the right to vote, and vote NO on the SAVE Act!
One study projects that the bill would make it “virtually impossible” for 24 million eligible Americans to vote. This is voter suppression — plain and simple.

Pls don’t make me cancel Disney+ too!
Disney is preparing to downplay the content warnings on its streaming service that accompany classic movies, such as “Dumbo” and “Peter Pan,” that include racial stereotypes, altering their language and decreasing their visibility.
Disney to Diminish Content Warnings Shown Before Classic Films
In addition to wording changes, the warnings will no longer autoplay at the beginning of movies such as “Dumbo” and “Peter Pan.”

“I see no color” is not the goal.
“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. Tell me how to do better.”
... That’s the goal.

Jesus never called his followers to defend Christianity, a “Christian nation,” or even their Christian churches.
Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting.
Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.
