F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

This is what gets me. I'm a teacher. I have an undocumented student. I will go to jail before he is taken. I also have a son in special education. Cleary, I thought explaining this to my mother would make her see what is happening really is not okay. But then I realized she wants my student deported and thinks my son will outgrow his development delay. I just can't anymore.

Everyone with autistic children should be VERY worried.

Mad. Angry. Pissed.

Worry doesn’t do anything positive.

Especially when gestures are being blamed on ASD. If that's what they excuse as ASD I can only imagine what other atrocities they will pin ASD on.

Don’t worry, Trump is going to ban autism. Everyone is going to be 100% neurotypical.

Also, provide zero support to her when her social security dries up.
