Today we remember the lives we lost on 9/11. Even the smallest act of service is a way to honor them. And just like Jay Winuk, we can honor their memories through service. https://t.co/BdKDozK5t0 https://t.co/Jc4vg4Dqoh

As we remember those we lost on 9/11, we also remember the spirit of unity and togetherness that defined the weeks and months after. On this day of service, I’m reflecting on all those still working to embrace that spirit, today and every day. https://t.co/y8x9PVcwDl

We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.

epilepsy isn't a mental illness. y'all know that, right? it's a neurological disorder. #alfredolango was sick. @elcajonpolice murdered him.
— auntie jawn. (she/ her) (@dopegirlfresh) September 28, 2016

anyone who's had a seizure may experience disorientation, confusion, or other "erratic" behavior afterwards.

further, some ppl with epilepsy can experience permanent brain injuries that affect their cognition.

his family said he needed help. his sister said he was sick and needed assistance. confused or not, disoriented or not. HE NEEDED HELP.

he did not receive that help. @elcajonpolice did not do their job, which was to make sure he got emergency medical assistance.

do you know how scared ppl can be after a seizure? do you understand that *everything* can be terrifying once you wake up?

people yelling & pointing fucking guns at you when you might not even know where you are, what day it is, or your own fucking name? come on.
