Currently 30 states have rarely enforced filial responsibility laws. They are rarely enforced because Social Security and Medicare take precedence. I expect enforcement might see a sharp increase as the 47 led GOP slash these programs. #savesocialsecurity

“None of this will change the bitter fact: Israel killed them. Our hands did this. We must not avert our eyes. We must wake up and cry out loudly: Stop the war.”

The world’s richest, and strongest, are killing the world’s poorest and weakest. It’s an abomination.

The cost of this foolishness will be decades long: no more breakthroughs (and the massive income they generate in better health, longer lives, products), no more Nobel laureates (and the talent they attract). Utterly self-destructive.

The continent’s leaders are hoping to benefit as the Trump administration cuts support for research and threatens universities such as Harvard and Columbia with the freezing of federal funds.

Your Hubble picture of the day! 🔭

This is the NGC-3287 galaxy as seen by Hubble in 2019. It is located ~47 million light years away.

It was observed several times to study a type Ic supernova, SN 2013ge. A binary companion star has even been found as well!

Since the time of Newt Gingrich and the melding of White Evangelicals with the GOP, treating others as you would want to be treated (aka COMPASSIKN AND EMPATHY AND FORGIVENESS) has become “radical” in a negative way, and community something to destroy.
The Trump administration is preparing to unveil a budget proposal as soon as next week that includes draconian cuts that would entirely eliminate some federal programs and fray the nation’s social safety net.
Trump Budget to Take Ax to ‘Radical’ Safety Net Programs
A draft document outlines steep cuts or the elimination of funding for programs that provide child care, housing assistance, foreign aid and health research.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process.

He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer.
