Our Head Start programs are impactful & life-changing for our babies. But Trump wants to eliminate this essential program, lower its quality standards, & deny our most vulnerable children a first-rate early education. Trump should keep his grubby little hands off Head Start.
In most states with Dem primary races, the Dems know who the real opponent is. It's the people taking away their rights, picking people off the streets to ship away, engaging in voter suppression, killing our most important cultural institutions. The ones who seem content w abusers and rapists.

“Similar to today, everything we do to push back against the devastation of ourselves or our neighbors, to push back against anti-democratic forces is a sign of hope.”

One of the hidden problems that we need to solve, and urgently, is that if the GOP gets its way GOP-led areas will be so far behind blue states educationally and economically the gap won't be able to be bridged.

"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.
I don’t want to share in its success. I want to stop being routinely used.
I'm proud to announce that Separation of Church and Hate is a recipient of the 2026 American Book Award. Oh and they gave one to Colbert, too- abcnews.com/US/wireStory...
ORGANIZING AND MOBILIZING AND FIGHTING BACK WORKS. This wasn’t institutions stepping up and fighting. This was INDIVIDUALS standing up UNITED TOGETHER, fighting for the world we want to live in.
We spent early July watching Graham Platner's campaign implode because of abuse; now it's a Republican's turn. Let all this be a reminder of how pervasive violence against women and children is across the political spectrum.

How Trump’s “America First” Administration Could Shut U.S. Scientists Out of the Next Nobel-Worthy Discovery
A proposed White House rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over scientific funding. One physicist, who helped discover the Higgs boson, explains how the rule would’ve stifled that breakthrough.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.
Trump is pure evil. The proposed changes would remove most of Head Start’s 133 pages of requirements covering math and literacy curriculums, class sizes, medical screenings, home visits, and even the requirement that children brush their teeth after meals. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...
“… created in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. Head Start was intended to be a federally funded and regulated early education and antipoverty program…” Head Start serves culturally diverse families and values equity and inclusion. 🎯 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...
Trump Administration Plans to Upend Head Start by Deregulating It
The White House tried but failed to block funding for preschool for poor children. Instead, it will seek to strip away standards on health, literacy — and brushing teeth.

I was a Head Start Family Educator in Preston County in the early ‘90s. We were essentially case managers who provided wraparound organic services for the entire family. Education for kids&adult; dentists; vaccinations; library; social services. It was an absolute LIFELINE for poor parents & kids

I’ve tried three times to rise and shine already, snoozed the alarm too many times to count, and I guess I just don’t feel like playing along with the game today. Capitalism, pffft. Pretending it’s Saturday to cajole my spirit, but vaca brain mode hit a day too early and I’m dragging myself rn.
Thinking maybe I’m the only one not particularly good at making money in this lifetime/timeline. However, I am really good at giving away/parting with whatever comes my way.
