Here's a resource and template for parents (in light of yesterday's EO on schools), focused less on asking schools "what are you doing" and more on "we've got your back.").

This past November, Milwaukee had the highest voter turnout of the 50 largest cities in the U.S. Wisconsin had the highest turnout of any state.

It didn’t happen by accident: Democrats organize and invest year-round in Wisconsin– suburban, rural, and urban. What we’re doing in Wisconsin is working.

‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas.
Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

And just like that, the first anti LGBTQ bill in nearly 3 decades was signed by Biden and passed by a Democratic senate. It included a ban on gender affirming care for trans children of military families. So much for having our back, you god damn liar.

Statutory rape and 20 instances of paying for sex, which Gaetz has vehemently denied.

What was Gaetz thinking putting himself up for AJ?

And for Trump “vetting“ team, malpractice if they didn’t know; fraud on Senate, country if they did know and tried to slide him through with no investigation

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroom…

One group of people who aren’t buying the “think of his family” moral scolding about not feeling much compassion in response to the assassination of the health insurance CEO are families of loved ones who’ve suffered under the the system he represents.

I think being missed in all the shock at the reaction to the CEO murder is, sure it's partly a reaction to our inhumane health insurance situation, but I think it's also in the context of the details coming out about how billionaires just bought an election through well financed mendacity.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

A lot of AOCs appeal is simply the contrast of wondering why she (rightfully) gets pissed off about stuff but hardly any other elected official in the party does
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
