This is one successful form of Universal Basic Income
New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.

Does Megyn Kelly have advertisers?
Do those advertisers support differentiating between age levels of minors in regards to consent as well?
Just curious.

Universal "Basic" access to housing, nutrition, education, and healthcare
should be provided to everyone through government
And wealthy people should pay higher taxes

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It’s time for one staffer with nothing to lose to just dump everything online. You will be a hero forever. We will put up statues. Someone will write folk songs about you.

Every single one of their accusations is a confession
“But her emails” was just another confession disguised as an accusation, it’s so incredibly obvious now.

Let's talk about books and the public trust.
📚🧵
Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

Kudos to the kid picking up his mom's meds while absolutely rocking Sonic Hedgehog "pajama" pants
It's so funny when people grouse about pajama pants. They're no different than sweat or yoga pants & they are often fun
They cover everything they are supposed to, they aren't just for sleeping

I'm tempted to say that the eight Dems that voted to take health insurance away from millions of people should also lose THEIR health insurance
But here's the thing
I don't think anyone should lose healthcare access
Not even murderers like The Eight

A win, a really fantastic win
We are expanding the book stall!
Into another space in the same building, though on the second floor
We will be nearly doubling our space
I sign the lease today
The building manager (and a lot of other people) are very excited

Especially in a freaking Hallmark Network show that is highlighting witches as a force of good & a harnesser of science to solve conflict

This (not so) little man is a source of comfort right now

Video appointment w/the Pulmonologist today
Who confirmed that Mom going under general anesthesia for a lumpectomy of her breast tumors & calcified tissue
would most certainly leave her unable to get off a ventilator
So basically, there are no treatment options
Which we guessed, but now KNOW

Of all the pajama pants I previously got from Target, only 1 pair does not have holes
Mom wants to gift me replacements
Unfortunately, the brand I prefer is sold only at Target, a retailer I will never buy from again
So it's thrift stores, eBay, Poshmark, etc
A decent compromise? Idk
