From the article: "Young people with special educational needs (SEN) experience much higher rates of discrimination and bullying than their peers, leading to worse outcomes in mental wellbeing, life satisfaction, self-esteem and emotional difficulties.

"The findings are from a new report from #BeeWell, a programme co-founded by Anna Freud. The report includes data from over 20,000 young people receiving SEN support or with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) in Greater Manchester, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton.

"It found that the rate of discrimination due to a disability is almost three times higher for those receiving SEN support and four times higher for those with an EHCP compared to peers without."

Brilliant article on bullies like Trump. This same principle applies to their 'jokes.' Sociopaths don't really joke, so any time they appear to be, they're actually testing.

"bullies tend to operate on a sliding scale of permission. They start by pretending to do a thing to see how pretending goes for them before actually doing it, and if they don’t get opposed for issuing threats, then they understand that to be permission"

“So will Trump’s attempt to bully the Fed succeed? …given how quickly Trump has been able to subvert or destroy many other government institutions, it’s hard to feel confident that he can’t do the same to the Fed. …taking over the Fed would cause the dollar to plunge while long-term interest rates soar as investors expect higher inflation.”
—Paul Krugman, Why You Should Fear a Trumpified Fed

“As a consequence of Trump’s destructive tariff regime, the Fed will soon face a dilemma. Should it raise interest rates to fight inflation, or should it cut rates to fight recession? It’s a really hard call… Trump has made Powell’s dilemma even worse with his attempted bullying…”

A U.S. citizen, born in the U.S. is one of dozens who just got an email from the government telling them to leave the U.S. 🤬

Humanitarian Parole is one of the legal programs allowing people to stay in the U.S. legally, but this immigration attorney was not in that program. She was born here.

"Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately," the email read.

Newsweek · US Citizen Told by Trump Admin to Self-Deport Amid CrackdownBy Dan Gooding

Guess who is exploiting and taking advantage of my vulnerability and trust? My uncle. He can use any of my mistakes that he finds to justify bullying and mocking me. I don't even have money to pay for his liquid petroleum gas for cooking. I am really sad, and no one cares. I am still a student with so many debts that I can't pay. It's around RM50,000. What does he expect? Taking advantage of me? Using my inability to pay his bills and for LPG, and when I'm at my worst, it's time for him to kick me out of his house. I am actually homeless. But that terribly destroyed house doesn't count. My father wanted me to stay at my uncle's house for stable electricity. #FamilyIssues #Struggle #Support #Homeless #StudentLife #Debt #EmotionalAbuse #Bullying #Vulnerability #Trust #Hope #Vent #MentalHealth #IAmTheProduct #MutualAid #NoOneCares
