Thought for the Day: I think Americans might be finally waking up. Finally!! Use your voice. It really matters. Call your MOC and let them know what pisses you off and what you demand. They work for YOU, not the felon! Be brave. There will be no do overs. Save US now, or never. You got this.

RFK Jr and company believe there's a hierarchy of value that positions able-bodied and neurotypical people at the top and anyone that's different at the bottom.
I don't think I've ever seen someone speak about children (in this case, specifically Autistic kids) with such disgust and such disdain.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers.

I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No

Three innocent children were taken by ICE - not for crimes, but as victims of the Trump regimes ethnic cleansing. Now they sit in a detention center, terrified and alone. No due process, no answers. Just desks still empty, teachers still waiting, classmates still asking why, & so much heartache.

Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar.

In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
