I have three grandchildren in their 20s. All work! One is completing a teacher certificate. One is in an administrative role in a county position. One is working long hours in a retail store. All their friends work too. And they are BIPOC.

And when healthy children get Covid, which they will, and infect a grandparent who then dies of Covid, that child will be devastated and will blame themselves for the rest of their lives.

I have a question. Where do job numbers come from? An agency beholden to the Republicans for their jobs? I’m having trouble believing anything this administration is claiming.

Called my Republican Rep today. Asked that if Hegseth, Waltz and others don’t resign that they should be impeached. Our once good allies are afraid to trust us. The world watches in disbelief at what a circus we have become.

It’s not just all those workers. The effects will be felt throughout the economy. Will they be able to maintain their housing? Will they spend as much at the grocery store? Every facet of the economy will be feel the pain.

If it’s not classified then we need a Freedom of Information request for all such threads including any used by these people on any unsecured program, app, and email.

Got through again today to my Republican representative. Demanded that Hegseth must go saying I fear for my safety as long as he is in the government. Also asked that she vote against HR 22, the Save Act. Every day a new issue along with those ongoing.

Call to Mary Miller’s office in DC today to ask her to help save Social Security , Medicare and Medicaid. Actually talked to a staffer! Keep up the pressure. Let them know what’s important to you.

My daily call to my Republican representative was in reference to the more than $816M in federal funds being used within a 50 mile radius of my town and how the defunding of these projects would hurt her constituents and cause economic pain. Gotta keep calling.

For almost two hours last night, Trump gaslight the nation.

It was an avalanche of falsehoods, petty insults and performative acts intended to make you accept his alternative reality.

That tariffs aren't somehow a crushing tax on Americans.

That alienating our allies will make us stronger.

Daily message to my Republican representative: Do not vote for any additional funding until the coup is over, funding is restored and people are back to work. Told her she would be complicit in the dismantling of our democracy.

Today I called my Republican Representative to say how appalled I was at the fiasco in the Oval Office on Friday and to encourage her to vote yes on continued aid to Ukraine.

Posting on FB and here are ok for venting. Try calling your congressional representatives every day with a specific message about what’s happening. You’ll probably talk to a staffer or voicemail. I understand the offices keep tallies of calls and messages.

Many people on Medicaid are disabled and not able to work. What about them?

Called my Rep. Went straight to voicemail. Too afraid to hear what we have to say?

Called my Representative’s office as always. Went directly to voicemail instead of talking to a staffer. Will they even listen to my message? What other way is effective in reaching her? Fax?

Not a mass protest in the usual sense. Just a nation wide strike of all peoples covered in the DEI terminology. Let’s see only straight white men try to run the country.

Uh no, no money that goes in is β€œearmarked” for you. Your payout is determined in part by what you earned/paid in, but it’s not the same as a personal investment account. They are pooled resources. Many illegal immigrants who can never access ss also pay in. β€œTheir” funds go to Americans

Josh Cowen Speaks about Public Schools
YouTube video by Harvard Education Press Josh Cowen Speaks about Public Schools

We should always be asking how we can improve public schools.

But doing that also means rejecting failed ideas.

School vouchers have had catastrophic results for kids and families.

Because with vouchers, it’s the schools doing the choosing.
