Happy November folks! This month's #kidlitartpostcard is a spread from the book petite etoile written by Marie Tibi and published by editions circonflexe. This season it is being published by Bohem Verlag. As you can tell from this example, I like to set a mood and love the little details....

Hey @democrats.org, it’s actually really easy.

You just need to forcefully say, “We refuse to fund an authoritarian regime.”

List the people’s demands and tell Republicans the government will shut down if they’re not met.

Then watch as the masses mobilize behind you.

If you fight, we will too.

Savings from slashing science and medical research and firing government employees are not even detectable on the proposed budget compared to extending tax cuts and slashing Medicaid, food for the poor etc.

Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.
Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
