Today marks the day when the 6yo was emotionally scarred by the #Muppets Christmas Carol.
She liked it right up until the Ghost of Christmases Yet to Come and Tiny Tim.
I, however, loved every minute. Quintessential Christmas movie, honestly.

Turns out, #Wicked is absolutely an accessible educational tool to teach children about the dangers of fascism and compliance within a system designed to hurt people.
My 6yo asked in the car today if we could listen to Wicked and keep talking about how the Wizard and President Trump are similar.

Jill Stein can just go away at this point. She doesn’t actually do anything other than run for national office and whine. Where is she when the work actually matters? No where. Literally nothing she says at this point contributes to anything of meaning.

Can confirm. I’m pretty sure the housing crisis in Madison is due to obscene rental costs & weird af pricing. A house in our neighborhood is well kept, but in desperate need of updates, is listed at $700K.
A studio apt in our former building? $2100/mo.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

We’re away from home, out of network & my 6yo has an ear infection.
The final cost for concierge MD treatment (quick physical + antibiotics in hand) was $400.
That’s a prohibitive cost for many, especially those facing rising ACA costs.

It’s ~$36 annually out of my paycheck to fund SNAP. That’s $3 a month. 1.5% of US federal spending in 2024.
This isn’t about saving money. It’s about hating kids & poor people & disabled people & elderly people.
Any of us are one missed paycheck away from needing SNAP. This is shameful.

Trump is playing political games and is willing to let kids go hungry.
He's planning to hold back SNAP benefits on November 1, even though he's got the money and the power to send them out.
If they don't send the funds, we'll see them in court. Help us spread the word and keep the pressure up!
