Weakening Child Labor Laws seems to be going hand in hand with Voucher programs. The same states are doing both, and it's not healthy for our children. @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social #SupportPublicSchools #SaveDeptOfEd #SayNoToVouchers

18 states offer Vouchers. 12 states have universal vouchers with very few restrictions on who gets the money or how it is used. They've blown billion $$$ holes in their budgets. Nationwide Universal Vouchers is a goal of Project 2025. #SayNoToVouchers #SaveDeptOfEduc @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Public schools serve the community. Private schools serve themselves. #SupportPublicSchools #SayNoToVouchers #SayNoToProject2025 #TBATs #BATs

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago. In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

If history must be repeated, then this is the history that bears repeating.

Except it’s not god they’re pushing. Statistics show it’s hurting public education as they lie about not interfering with instructional time & the program rewards children who ostracize their peers simply for not adhering to an EXTREMELY narrow world view. youtu.be/MEl8aKtUxPM

Post traumatic financial literacy is about more than learning how money & banking & markets & taxes work-- it's about developing ways to think & communicate about money that account for our trauma wounds w/ realism, compassion, & emotional intelligence.

Mourn. Don't be ashamed. Don't let anyone shame you for the desire or need to mourn. Whether "they" think your attachment to what or who you lost is legitimate or valid or understandable doesn't matter. Literally couldn't matter less. You get to mourn.

It’s nuts to waste a pardon on restoring the right to have a gun to someone who battered his girlfriend, just because he’s a Hollywood name. It’s government by grift. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...

Years of post-separation abuse & abuse by proxy, changing lawyers, the GAL backpedaled a bit on his championing of the perp & child abuse & said, maybe he’ll decide to stop. I said there’s no incentive to stop, he evaded jail & still harms his victims. dremmakatz.substack.com/p/abusive-me...

The fact that American parents can opt children out of life saving treatments based on their religious beliefs will always be horrific to me.

The U.S. Tiktok ban is yet another reminder that the sexual exploitation of children on platforms like P*rnhub could stop anytime, govt’s just choose not to.
