What do the citizens of Osseo MN think of their school district trying to strip all American children of their rights to a free and appropriate public education? How do they feel about their school district gutting the ADA?

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking people to show up at town halls between now and when Congress reconvenes at the end of the month. We need to push back against NIH cuts and political interference. 1/

My great-grandmother came to this country from Russia in the 1890s. She was #Deaf. When the inspectors at Ellis Island asked her questions, her parents told them, "She's just shy." If she had been alone, if she had been separated from her parents, she would never have seen them again.

Yeah, there's not a single Trump nominee that I'd trust to walk a dog. Why Democratic senators voted for a single one is utterly beyond me.
