Listening to Chastity Lord speak at tonight’s Jeremiah Program Summit. Inspirational!!! Exactly the right leader for this trajectory-changing work on behalf of moms, their children, and their communities. Rochester MN is fortunate to have a JP campus.
Chastity Lord, president and CEO of the Jeremiah Program, said they are focused on mothers with at least one child up to five years old, as “birth to five are some of the most expensive, but also some of the poorest times in a parent’s life.” buff.ly/qgOUUFr
Jeremiah Program offers hope for single mothers and children
The Jeremiah Program, a nonprofit for single mothers and children, is hosting its annual Summit Weekend March 7-9 at Mystic Lake Center.

If you need some tough love, spoken in beautiful words, listen and act.
In these very seconds, you and I get to decide whether our children and grandchildren and those following us will inherit something beautiful or grotesque. It's really that simple, that elemental, that close.

Just confirmed with the University of St. Thomas that funding to train more special education teachers was *cancelled* because of Trump’s cuts.
Why? Because Republicans are vacuuming up every dollar they can for massive corporate tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
They don’t care who gets screwed.

I know there’s a lot happening, but this is critical:
Study sections at the NIH have been shut down.
➡️ No reviews = No grants
➡️ No grants = No research
➡️ No research = No NIH
This threatens the future of science & medicine.

Great Expectations was designed to help people who grew up in foster care get their two-year degrees. And unlike many programs for former foster youth, there are no age limits.

IMHO everything can be traced back to greed - greed for property, for popularity, for power, etc. We have to find the lever(s) effective against greed, or they will continue to take. Unfortunately, science, information, explanation is not enough. What’s as powerful a motivator for good?

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Great reminders. I m reflecting on how public education can apply these.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
