Emmanuel Garcia is an autistic 15 year old who went missing two months ago.
Houston PD found him the next day, contacted ICE who then sent him to Office of Refugee Resettlement.
His Mom didn’t know where he was for a week.
Wasn’t allowed to see him.
Today he’s finally home!

Apparently they didn't sit in on Ken Ivory's Federalism Committee and how they are resurrecting Brady Brammer's Medicaid bill intended to bring about doomsday for those like my son Parker.

Utah is revving up their battle to institutionalize those who rely on home and community based Medicaid waivers in order to stay out of institutions and remain in their homes with their families. Irony? Living at home is over 3x LESS expensive than institutions. #utah #disability #downsyndrom

Amen.
Opinion: Having a child with Down syndrome has been an irrational, unprovable good, writes Amy Julia Becker. In a world of increasing mechanization, measurement and merit, people like my daughter can help return us to our humanity.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The 8 Dems who voted against ACA are embracing eugenics.
This decision will disproportionately harm disabled people.
Many Disabled people have pre existing conditions & won’t be able to afford insurance.
Many live in legislated poverty.
Guess we aren’t dying fast enough for them

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance
Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26
He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums
He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.

So damn proud of UTAH!
The "Hands Off!" protests today were nothing short of monumental, marking a powerful and unified stand against what organizers have called the most audacious power grab in modern history. With over 1,400 events spanning all 50 states and hundreds of thousands of participants, this movement

I don't want to see or hear Chuck Schumer. The BS he just spewed on MSNBC with Lawrence was about the emptiest, most inauthentic flow of syllables I've ever heard. He can't even fake being mad.

Let's get 'er done America!
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.

Couldn’t make it out to an organized protest today but I spent a half hour on the busiest corner of my town holding some signs in a solo protest.

remembering fondly when people were like "don't promote 50501, it's not real, it's a psyop"
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
