Yes how would New Yorkers survive universal childcare and free transportation…

IT’S ELECTION DAY, AMERICA!

Remember to get out and VOTE!!!

When members of Congress face threats, the federal government moves quickly to allocate funds for their protection. Meanwhile, the broader public, especially children in schools , continue to live with the reality of mass shootings and underfunded security measures

Instead of passing gun laws to protect our children, we’ve fueled an industry that profits from our inaction.

Florida will phase out certificates of completion for students with disabilities The change comes after a legislative session that for the most part championed the rights of students with disabilities.

Florida erasing certificates of completion tells children & people with disabilities their achievements don’t count. Add the Big Beautiful Bill’s Medicaid work requirements and it’s cruelty on top of cruelty

Young Kim voted to cut Medicaid for millions of Americans who rely on it — including my sibling, and thousands in our community. This is why we must win this campaign and make sure that healthcare is a human right for everyone.

The dudes you hated the most in high school have access to proprietary info. Cool.

Activism works - next we have to push for new leadership from the Dem party.

To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Floats Plan to Slash Benefits for the Poor and Working Class A menu of options being circulated by congressional Republicans also includes new tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

A word of caution for the months and years to come:

Outrage is anger which arises from fear which is a deep-seated human response, and farming outrage for attention is not a partisan phenomenon.

Before you spread it, double check your sources.

We are just pawns.
