Usually I ask my husband to find the answers to these bedtime questions. Now I’m stuck getting out of the bed 10000x

5/ Some have speculated this policy aims to push employees out and make room for “loyalists” instead. Whether intentional or not, the result is clear: experienced workers leaving, and crucial departments at risk of collapse.

4/ And let’s be real: the people most impacted by delays in these services will be the most vulnerable—those relying on Social Security checks to survive, families needing passports, or folks waiting on tax refunds.

3/ This could lead to massive attrition in key departments like Social Security, CDC, and HHS. These agencies are critical for processing Social Security checks, passports, tax returns, and more. If the workforce crumbles, so do these services.

2/ Many federal workers transitioned to telework during the pandemic and relocated away from their duty stations. A forced return to in-person work means they’ll face tough decisions: relocate, quit, or find new jobs closer to home. I know how life-changing a relocation can be—it’s not easy.

My toddler knows people > property. Whether skipping a page with a grumpy cop or reimagining stories, we’re building a foundation. It’s not perfect, but each convo plants seeds of empathy, fairness, & resistance. Small actions now = a big, anti-fascist future later.

When we embrace diversity—of tactics and play—we build adaptability and resilience. Teach kids (and ourselves) to think critically, work collaboratively, and question injustice. The revolution is messy, creative, and collective. Let’s model it for the next generation.

We need strategies that work together, not against each other. Respect others’ methods as long as they don’t harm those on our side. Flexibility, creativity, and solidarity are how we build stronger movements. Kids know this instinctively through diverse play. Why don’t we? 🧵

I’d love to see something like this for childcare—more support, better wages, and worker ownership could totally transform the industry for the better! It’s time we recognize the value of childcare and provide workers with the respect and resources they deserve.

I wish we had something like that in the US. It’d totally shift the game, especially for childcare. More community, less corporate greed. Workers and families having a voice, that’s the dream.

8/ It starts with recognizing that caregiving is not just “help” – it’s vital, essential work. Every parent who relies on in-home care or daycare should be advocating for better conditions, wages, and respect for those who provide it. We’re not just watching kids – we’re shaping the future.

7/ The system is set up to exploit workers, especially those in caregiving roles. But we have the power to change that. We need to demand better wages, better conditions, and more respect for the people who care for our children, our elders, and our communities.

6/ It’s simple: people who dedicate their time and energy to nurturing others should not be scraping by. These jobs should be paid fairly, with benefits, and treated with the respect they deserve. We need to fight for workers in care fields, or the system will keep failing us all.

5/ Childcare, eldercare, healthcare—these are all industries rooted in care and nurturing. Why aren’t the people doing this work treated with the respect and pay they deserve? These industries should be worker-owned, with wages that reflect the labor and love we pour into what we do.

4/ As a small in-home provider, I’m not just babysitting; I’m creating a space for learning, growth, and care. Yet, society still sees it as “just a job” because it involves caring for kids. If we really want to support families, we need to treat childcare like the essential work it is.

3/ The truth is, childcare should be valued just like any other important work. We deserve fair pay, respect, and benefits—just like healthcare workers or teachers. But instead, we’re undervalued and overworked. It’s time to recognize that nurturing the next generation is real labor.
