@SenRonJohnson vote no. I think we have differing reasons for doing it, but do it anyway.
This bill hurts Wisconsinites.
Vote no. (See also my voicemail and X post and Threads post....)

1990s I was a child. I believed the US was infallible.
2002, I feared strikes on US soil, classmates were deployed, and soon my students were.
2025, who's next to send? More students? My own child?
I'm over this involvement in the Middle East on the word of a leader who has an ulterior motive.

For the first time since 1975, the Wisconsin legislature/Joint Finance is giving a 0% increase in education funding. Plus special education is funded at 30% and we got a "maybe" for incresing that.
We won't keep up with inflation.
The response can and will be referendums.

How is Chris Kluwe my favorite former NFL player?
Maybe it's the lack of CTE that keeps him sane post-career.

We've had an international summer, a summer of big changes, quiet summers...this summer I'm aiming for a "Notice & Do" summer or a "See a Need, Fill a Need" summer.
Starting here at home (oh, you noticed the dishes need to be put away? Cool, now do it!) but also in our community.

We got solar a month ago.
~50% of what we use comes from the grid (before 🌅 and after 🌇)
and 50% is 🌞.
PLUS here everything else we produce goes pays at 4-1.
We are producing ~5x what we use. The energy we are using from the grid we are returning, paying off what we use plus 20%. #solar-powered

Problems schools can't fix without community action:
Chronic absenteeism
Students vaping
Students fighting each other
These things need an all hands on deck approach.
All of them. All the hands from all the places.

First year since....2015 or so that I was in church for Palm Sunday and Easter.
I've missed it, sort of. All in all, I'm glad I went.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"
"That theory has been debunked"
"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

Rewatching Gilmore Girls with the hubs.
I 100% stand by being #TeamJess.
Dean is lovely and safe but clingy.
Logan is fun and exciting but a bad influence.
Jess wasn't nice to start but matures and then challenges her and expects her to reach her potential.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Called my sen and rep to let them know the K-12 Indoctrination EO is trash. Got through to my rep & gave that intern an earful, respectfully.
Kids need to be able to be themselves & find themselves. Preventing staff from providing medical care is a made up nonissue. Preferred names hurt no one.
