"Reaganomics Doomed Us All" is a #Substack diving deep in #education & #family welfare policy. The most recent post is on "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act" & impact on #workingfamilies, like ours. I'm grateful for @bobrhoades.bsky.social writing on these topics as he finishes his doctorate at #KU.

@bobrhoades.bsky.social always* makes exactly the right amount of coffee.

So to do today:
Find your joy intentionally, if you can.
Love your people sweetly in little ways consistently.
Acknowledge your gratitude publicly when you are able.

#MilitantKindness
And a new one...
#CompassionateNonsense
A small moment of intentional joy and gratitude that I have overlooked for far too long is that Bob, (who, for context, included "I promise to make your coffee" in his wedding vows), always* makes the exact right amount of coffee for both of us. On workdays like today with travel mugs and on weekends with multiple mug refills. It's very impressive and makes me feel loved sweetly by a man who would hate to be described like that. Reminders for me from this: Find your joy intentionally, if you can. Love your people sweetly in little ways consistently. Acknowledge your gratitude publicly when you are able. #MilitantKindness And a new one... #CompassionateNonsense Cup of coffee nearly up to the top. Side by side of wedding picture and vow renewal.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Thank you, Senator, for fighting for Kilmar and all of us.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Today feels like it needs this reminder.

As you go into your next week/day/moment/breath...remember that you're here now. Both in the physical and temporal sense. What we have is now. Do not fall for potential. Achievement is what you are doing right now that aligns with your vision. #MilitantKindness #SelfAndOthers #RestIsRevolution
Melorism (noun) The belief that we can contribute to positive change and improve the world through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness. Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it. - Pirkei Avos

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

I used to be a chef, I know a little bit about food...this is my most favorite recipe of all time.
Are you sick of having to think of a new meal every evening? Are you tired of having to prepare food and clean up dozens of dishes? I introduce to you Shredded Cheese Over The Sink! You'll never be upset by Shredded Cheese Over The Sink! (image with text on white background and a pile of orange shredded cheese)

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of “The Great Gatsby”

I’m all for celebrating with a jazz-age soirée, but given the current moment, let’s also honor F Scott Fitzgerald’s work by thinking about how unregulated wealth, casual racism & convenient fatalism color the American dream.

If you have to think about due dates for bills, check your grocery prices, or plan ahead for your purchases of wants and needs, you are "making ends meet." No one likes billionaires. But I like you if you have this sticker.
workingfamilies.org Working Families Party 🐺 @workingfamilies.org · Apr 8
this is the story of working people. the rich get richer, the rest of us are kept scrambling to make ends meet

THIS WEEK ONLY: donate anything to get a no one likes billionaires sticker and help us keep winning against billionaires like Elon Musk (sorry): wfpus.org/NoBillionaires
No one likes billionaires sticker in black and white stark text. Order before April 16, 2025. Help us beat billionaires everywhere and give power back to working people. Donate anything to get a "no one likes billionaires" sticker
