How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

I owe my whole career to Judy. As an undergrad in her lab, her enthusiasm for research motivated me to ditch my med school plans & pursue dev psych.
She paid me a stipend so I didn’t have to work full-time & could spend more time in the lab.
So much gratitude to have learned from the best 💖

The NYPD now responds to hundreds of thousands of mental health calls every year, slowing response times for other emergencies.
We can deploy trained public health workers and allow cops to focus on the serious crimes that too often go unresolved.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.
It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.
