Five-year-old Robert Wagemann was in a checkup when his mother overheard doctors discussing murdering him due to his disability: a shattered hip he had suffered at birth. Robert and his mother fled and he survived, but about 10,000 German children with disabilities did not.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE! ⚠️ On Wed. Oct. 4th, at 11:20am PDT there will be a national alert test from the Emergency Alert System. This means that every cell phone in the US will have a loud alert, like an Amber Alert. This may be a safety concern for survivors with "secret" phones.

Student loan payments restart today, and approximately 1 in 5 student borrowers will struggle with student debt repayments. That’s over 8 million borrowers.   Americans deserve student debt relief.

This hurts and I’m tired of it. The horrible new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Donald ahead by 9 points against President Biden. The MEDIA is to blame for this. In 2016, watching broadcast and cable news normalize Donald, a corrupt and incompetent man, was very difficult for me to endure. They presented him as if he were a legitimate candidate, despite the many failures and crimes he’d left in his path for over 60 years. They had no problem airing his rallies in full; they ignored credible allegations of business fraud and sexual assault—as well as actual evidence of his multiple bankruptcies, horrific treatment of treatment of workers, and gob-smacking failure as a “deal-maker.” And you know what’s horrifying? They are doing it again. And this time, it’s worse. As cable news organizations struggle for ratings, they spend more time talking about Biden’s age than Donald’s 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges, and disastrous first terms. Plus, Biden is only THREE years older than Donald!!! In 2016, Donald was the oldest president in history to be elected and no one talked about his age. That’s because this narrative is complete bullshit. It is not normal for someone with 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions to be a party’s front runner for president. It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who’s accused of launching a coup against our country as a legitimate candidate. It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who was found legally responsible for rape as a legitimate candidate. None of this is normal. I know this poll is an outlier, but in a sane country Biden would be ahead by 40 points. In a healthy, functioning democracy, Donald would not even be allowed to run. I’m fighting back in part by cataloguing in my newsletter not just his crimes but the crimes and complicity of his enablers. We know the corporate media won’t do it on their own. 👇🧵 Help me get the word out before the media’s kid glove treatment gets Donald back into the White House. We can’t let that happen.

So, most people are unaware that One Hundred and One Dalmatians, the novel, has a bonkers sequel called The Starlight Barking. It has never been filmed. It can never be filmed. It is unfilmable. Come with me on this journey. (1/8)

President Biden is resuming interest and payments on federal student loans after a more than three year pause. @CBSEveningNews spoke to us—and one of our Los Angeles members—on how a costly return to repayment will financially crush families:
