Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

I tell my students the easiest way to catch mistakes is for them to read their papers out loud, and they always look at me like I'm insane.
But look, that's what we do with our own books! Because it works!

Will these plans cover pregnancy? Because that is far and away the most expensive I've ever been as an insurance customer ... and all of these assholes are concerned about the birth rate, meanwhile I paid thousands of dollars out of pocket when I was pregnant (WITH good health insurance)
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

A member of Congress just filled out a threat report with the Capitol Police naming the President of the United States as the person making the threat.
Think of where we were on January 7, 2021 when the country overwhelmingly repudiated what had happened.

An investment in our teachers is an investment in our children.
In this budget, we're directing $25 million to our child care teachers to put more money in their pockets and bring more workers to the Commonwealth. I'm grateful to all of the advocates who have fought hard to see this in PA.
