One of my homies in Altadena lost her childhood home. No one was physically hurt, but watching her mom talk about having been in that house for 46 years while standing on its ashes was heart breaking.

Part of fighting back is being both intentional, accurate, and forceful with our language.

As a father I can’t fathom how the GOP has gotten away with branding themselves as the party of ‘family values.’
What values?
Paid leave? No.
Affordable childcare? No.
Investing in education? No.
Ending child poverty? No.
Fighting child cancer? No.
Protecting kids from guns? No.
End this charade.
