President Claudia Sheinbaum is rolling out Universal Healthcare for 120 Million Mexican residents.
Now that is leadership, I’m both jealous and very happy for the people of Mexico.
Kingdom East are having their third school budget vote on Thursday the 11th.
If this budget doesn't pass they will be left with no budget at all and will be forced to borrow in order to open the schools at all next fall.
It’s a gloomy day here in Vermont but I’m reflecting on some signs of hope from this past week in DC.
They’re small, too late, and not enough, but they represent things we can build off of in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
AOC endorsed/fundraised for Rabb
Rabb backs universal healthcare, universal basic income, publicly owned grocery stores, removing big money from politics and ending US military aid to Israel
Josh Shapiro disapproves of Rabb and has taken steps to limit his path

These are the ones who voted in favor of legal statutory rape in Oklahoma. Remember them, in case you see them in the future in the federal government.
Songs are dropping faster than I can pick them up. Here's a playlist of anti-ice non-ai songs made in the last month. There's more.

If, you know, you need an anti-ice playlist for any reason today or tomorrow.
Wherever you are, may you be safe and may your fingers not freeze off. I advise a sign stiff enough to hold without bending you fingers.
In under 48 hours, you organized nearly 1,200 marches and vigils in all 50 states and DC for Renee Nicole Good.
There are more of us than there are of them — and We the People won’t stop demanding accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee. #ICEOutForGood
I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

People are saying the $3 trillion being added to the national debt is "borrowing from our grandchildren." I'm sorry, but "borrowing" without consent is THEFT, and at these dollar levels, it's GRAND THEFT, a felony, that the GOP criminals in Congress are guilty of.
In the days since someone said we should kill the homeless and mentally ill, the unhoused have been shot and lynched from trees in multiple states, yet @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Brian Kilmeade, that someone who said it, still has a job.
Real things my middle schooler asked me today:
1. The middle school next door had ICE this week. Is my school next? I have friends who are undocumented.
2. Won't DC be the target if someone bombs us like they did on 9/11?
3. Why are people sadder about Charlie Kirk getting shot than kids?
I hate it
Thousands have taken to D.C.’s streets in the “We Are All D.C.” march, protesting Trump’s federal troop deployment and demanding local control. A massive show of resistance against authoritarian overreach, it’s one of the largest demonstrations in the capital this year.
One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial?
Then posted it on social media?
And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
