I’m 10 days from graduation but I can’t access my transcripts until I pay $2,200. Without them, I can’t transfer & finish my PoliSci degree.
I’ve raised $1,276. Im asking for help to cross the finish line. Even $5 helps me keep chasing my dream of public service.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Non-disabled people don’t understand how expensive it is to be disabled. The government doesn’t give us everything for free. Medications could be hundreds of dollars. Mobility aids could be tens of thousands. Medical equipment could be hundreds of thousands. That’s just the necessary stuff.

He 100% would. It's Narcissistic Parenting 101, something I unfortunately have a lot of experience/practice with. The protests and boycotting gives me some sliver of hope, because that means we're not giving into the fear. He needs that fear so we start doing what's wanted on our own without thought
I am staggered by so many people who keep saying oh he won’t go that far. Why is it so hard to understand that to control us dictator style he needs us poor and sick and frightened and that is why he is taking away everything that makes us secure and well and strong. It’s so obvious.
