Burning injustices:
New figures published today show babies born in areas with the highest child poverty rates can expect to live 5 years fewer than those born in the areas with the lowest rates of child poverty.

Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888.
Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.

✨Little reminder that Aontu exists because Peadar Tóibín resigned from Sinn Fein because of its support for Repeal. They want to seriously curtail women’s access to abortion, and would overturn repeal if they could.✨

Child poverty is the big issue of our time. Every politician should be focused on ending it for good. I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS.
