NEW: Friends of Neri Alvarado, rotting in a Salvadoran prison on Trump's orders, made a video highlighting his volunteer work helping neurodiverse children learn to swim. Neri was sent there after someone at ICE thought his autism awareness tattoo was a gang tattoo. Vid posted by Noah Lanard on X.

New #GiftArticle by @jessgrose.bsky.social on Musk, Trump & Co.'s likely dismantling of the US Dept of Ed with a focus on the threat to children with disabilities. Especially helpful on the messaging being used to facilitate eliminating oversight of the education rights of disabled students.

NYPD cars swerved into incoming traffic during a police chase, sending the guy on a motorbike they were pursuing flying. He died the next day. 2 months later, NYC sent his family a bill for $3,429 for damages to the police car. www.thecity.nyc/2024/12/19/c...
