The DC police had no problem dragging people from their wheelchairs from McConnell's office.

This is what domestic terrorism looks like.
This is Donald Trump’s America.

Imagine the police response if these were Black people BREAKING INTO the Capitol.

If you don’t see white supremacy and a total threat to democracy when you see this, it’s because you don’t want to.

I miss this kind of integrity and dignity being demonstrated in leadership. Can someone remind me what it feels like?

This groom surprised his bride by having her students with Down’s syndrome be the ring bearers and I’m a puddle of tears on the floor 😄

@msemilymccombs Years ago, I dressed up as an iPad. I wore all black, painted a letter “i” on my shirt, and proceeded to cover my arms in maxi-pads. At the time, I thought I was VERY funny; now, it seems a bit problematic and probably not appropriate for your son? But if you’re in a pinch...

POSITIVE STORY OF THE DAY 📚: One Del Valle elementary school teacher has turned her garage into a community library with nearly 2,000 books!

The Del Valle community doesn’t have a public library but Jennifer Martin hopes that will change.

Tune in tonight to @KVUE at 5:30!

What a insightful, fantastic essay that should be read by anyone with a beating heart.

“Well, here’s the problem: we have ignored the perspectives, stories and voices of disabled people for so long that their actual needs, feelings and experiences are hardly acknowledged.”

I have never felt so seen and embraced by an article than this one. https://t.co/fhTK9cRGDd

Desperately seeking anything to look forward to. Random TV show with subpar reviews? INTO IT. A quick run to CVS? SIGN ME UP. A mediocre breakfast taco? I’M ALL IN.

@paperhaus If you haven’t already listened, “Root of Evil” was fascinating in a very dark, think-about-it-for-weeks kind of way.

Scott Frost for president. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

APRIL: Teachers are heroes and deserve our support.

MAY: Teachers should be millionaires.

JUNE: We need to cut school budgets.

JULY: Teachers need to go back to school.

AUGUST: Teachers are selfish and don’t care.

The accuracy of this is astounding.

Tonight a patient called therapy appointments "lessons" and said "I am in therapy to remember who I really am under all the stories about who I'm supposed to be, and these are lessons in remembering myself so I can find my way home when we're not together" *cue tears*
