After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I have an adult child with ADHD (ER Nurse), another with autism (she'll fix your computer and chat about history), and a grandchild with ADHD (best reader in her class). Why would anyone NOT want these kids go get what they need to live amazing lives?

So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

That too, and all those kids who died early get forgotten, as they leave no descendants and few records beyond, perhaps, a headstone.

Yep--I've done a lot of genealogical research for people with orphans in their family tree. 19th century kids were often raised with the EXPECTATION that their parents might die and leave them to be raised by strangers.
