"We have to take some rough medicine"... (Except the rich, lets give them the finest chocolates and candies instead).

Small Businesses are getting hammered. Time for people to rethink who is pro-business...

Are we sure they aren't just migrating to official positions inside agencies?

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social
@hcrichardson.bsky.social

Yes please. Executive and legislative leadership that will work together, fight for Veterans, children, immigrants, and the underserved, and not roll over, ever.

Leadership that is focused on action not acting, on solutions instead of strategy.

Woot!

@ppfa.org provides lifesaving care and support to both women AND men, and is not only a critical lifeline for poor and underserved communities, but also for minors who find themselves pregnant without guidance.

Libraries ARE the absolute best! They are provide services to the community as well as a place to learn and grow, for kids and adults alike.

If we aren't funding communal educational and safe spaces how can we support the 'general welfare'?

To have lost so many lives to something which was not preventable but was avoidable is absolutely tragic.

Let's fully fund NWS and NOAA, and recognize that extreme weather will get worse, not better. Better alerting and proactive, caring leadership can save future lives.

#climatechange #NOAA #NWS

Climate change is real.

Storms are getting more intense and unpredictable.

Extreme weather will kill more without resources for weather expertise and experience.

Yet another way those without the resources to avoid it will suffer.

But now the hungry children can die silently...

That $2B could cancel all the unpaid school meal debt in the country 10x over. Wouldn't want to reduce the stress on overtaxed families though...

In another year when the alligators eat them, we will get 'the alligators were just standing their ground'.

@blue-oleta.bsky.social

1) Put Women's lives at risk
2) Fail to provide them pre-natal/post-natal care or nutrition support
3) Expect parents to work for below subsistence wages
4) Shame them for not staying home
5) Families suffer and weaken due to strain

Are we great yet?

In all honestly, it could be worse.

I mean, they aren't offering to PAY people to buy silencers... Yet.

@craigipedia.bsky.social

I can feel the diabetes flowing through me with each delicious bite.

How about trying 'they managed to increase both the debt limit AND the number of hungry children living in the wealthiest nation in the world at the same time'.

Truly an impressive feat.

If you aren't concerned... You should be. We need to protect immigrant communities now. It's the right, moral thing to do.

...But if that doesn't convince you (because it doesn't affect you) then how about some cold hard logic: They will come for you next.

#immigration #ICE #community #immigrants

37% WERE CHILDREN.

How can we make America Great when kids get sicker, go hungry, and parents cannot bring home a living wage?

#MakeAmericaGreat #FeedTheHungry #Children #Childcare #NewDealForFamilies

It is absolutely past time for a New Deal for Families, and Security for children.

We need candidates for Congress who are ACTUALLY pro-family in deed and not just in word.

There are so many ways we could secure the Social Security trust fund.

Federal, State, and other Civil Service Employees are too often faceless and nameless to the general public, making it all too easy to paint them as 'lazy bureaucrats'. | Chuck Borges Federal, State, and other Civil Service Employees are too often faceless and nameless to the general public, making it all too easy to paint them as 'lazy bureaucrats'.

Humans of Public Service is a great group that puts faces to often faceless Civil Servants who are often decried as 'lazy bureaucrats' by those who want to keep you fearful and opposed.

He's right, they should be working... ON SCHOOLWORK AT SCHOOL, where they should be FED NUTRITIOUS MEALS, so they can improve their cognition and become better more thoughtful adults than this putz.

Social Security for children will actually Make America Greater.

#childcare #children #schoollunch

As someone who works to ensure that elderly have the support they need and have earned, I would love to see us provide similar 'Social Security' to those who are too young to do so for themselves.

#SocialSecurity #Childcare #OptimistEconomy

Good. While there have always been terrible fans, this type of abhorrent behavior is increasing.

Our anger and fear as a populace in these polarized times brings out the worst in people too often.

It will take time to cure this sickness in our society.

Jon and Sarah nail it. We need more lawmakers in Congress who are:

1) Veterans who how to resist authoritarians and fight for their Country.

2) Technologists who have experience actually solving problems for regular people.

There is so much more we can do to streamline and simplify the processes by which we get affordable housing permitted, built, and let at reasonable rents in underserved neighborhoods. This is a task (one among many) which technology can help find solutions for, and is often overlooked by lawmakers.

An impressive academic who not only impacted the broader public understanding of culture, gender, and child development, but also a dedicated activist who advocated for the environment, women's rights, and nuclear disarmament.
