The school-readiness gap is built before kindergarten. Fewer books and less developmentally-tailored parental time (Kalil), plus unscreened vision, hearing, dental, and developmental problems. A pediatrician catches those for middle-class kids. That's why Head Start's screening standards matter.

Head Start has helped over 30 million kids since 1965. It was built to give poor children a fair shot before kindergarten. Now the Trump administration wants to gut the standards that make it work, while calling it “cutting red tape.”

Corporations spent $60 million trying to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who overcame a 10-to-1 spending deficit and won anyway. The man ran on simple ideas: end aid to Israel, Medicare for All, and end big money in politics. The people want solutions to problems. That’s it.

I'm 44 - wife, mom, teacher. I'm fighting stage 4 #melanoma. The amount of medical debt I have from fighting #cancer for 18 years - in increasing stages - is FAR greater than this initial goal. I've tried to do it on my own and I just can't. Please HELP if you are able - $1,000 in 24 hours! ❤️

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️
