"It was one of the most powerful acts of protest ever seen in Washington, D.C. — and it didn’t involve shouting, fire, or violence. It involved crawling. On March 12, 1990, dozens of people with disabilities gathered at the foot of the U.S. Capitol to make a statement Congress couldn’t ignore. At the time, there was no accessible entrance, no ramps, and no legal protection guaranteeing equal access or opportunity for millions of Americans. One by one, activists left their wheelchairs, crutches, and walkers — and began crawling up all 78 marble steps to the Capitol’s entrance. Some pulled themselves by their hands. Some dragged their legs. Children like 8-year-old Jennifer Keelan, who had cerebral palsy, were among them. When asked why she joined, she said simply, "I’ll take all night if I have to." The powerful image of people physically struggling to reach the seat of American democracy sent shockwaves through the nation. Within four months, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — a landmark civil rights law that finally made discrimination based on disability illegal. The “Capitol Crawl” wasn’t just a protest — it was a statement of human dignity. Every step, every scrape, every push upward symbolized a demand that accessibility isn’t charity — it’s a right."

There's still this tragedy narrative that somehow having an autistic child is worse than having a dead child. I'm autistic and I love being alive.

I hope he still doesn’t wear a suit

Image description: Two light gradient circles overlapping to emulate a venn diagram but instead of two ideas on the outside and one inside that matches, the text of both ideas covers the entire area of all 3 parts. The background is bright blue. Centred title, above the circles, reads: They think they're saying different things, but they aren't. The first part says: People who say "If you don't like it, then leave" The second part says: People who say "Refugees should go back to their country and try to fix it" The footer of the image says: It's practically a circle

This billion-dollar funding for ICE, border security, and deportations is still being spent on immigrants, just not in any way that helps them. If you voted for Tangerine Palpatine thinking your tax dollars were being taken by undocumented immigrants, the truth is that money could have been used to show compassion to people seeking a better life. Instead, it is being funneled into hate instead of humanity. And the real criminals are not the ones being deported. They are the ones separating families and kicking people out, including citizens and migrants who are trying to do things the right way.

Live in San Francisco right now.

It's due process, and there is enough for everyone. This billion dollar tax bill is going towards these immigrants anyway, when it could instead be used towards kindness at people who want to move to the US. It is just moving money towards hate instead of love.

DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship Denaturalization is a tactic heavily used during the McCarthy era and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during President Trump's first term. It's a tool usually us...

Revoking naturalization creates a caste system, punishes innocent families, and sets up chaos to delay elections by undermining citizenship and voting rights.

They're doing this to end voting. They're doing this to overhaul the voting system so he can delay elections indefinitely. If he can cause chaos about who is a citizen, he can say the elections need to be delayed until they can figure out who is actually allowed to vote.

So if someone was naturalised years ago, their citizenship is revoked, and they had kids here who are citizens because they were born on US soil, now the kid can also have their citizenship revoked. Why? Oh ya because their parent wasn't a citizen and fuckwad is ending birthright citizenship.

Yes pedos deserve the worst possible punishment. And yet what is the difference between that punishment being given to a citizen born in the US vs UK? They still go to prison.

And the families of these people don't deserve to suffer. The families are often innocent. Especially the kids.

[2/4]

This makes a caste system of citizens: if you commit a crime, we can revoke your naturalization and kick you out.

I wasn't able to message this to you on Facebook because I can't share news in Canada there (weird law) but did you see this?

Burn the flag on flag day. Make a statement.

[2/2] I have no idea who Jake Tapper is but from what I've read about him in 30 seconds, he went from supportive to criticizing. Why is that considered a bad thing... Do we have to support Biden if we hate Trump? Life isn't black and white.

[1/2] Aren't journalists supposed to be investigating stuff? I actually wish more news people were less opinionated and more looking to uncover the truth. So many these days just seem to form opinions and call it "news."
