What idiot said “we don’t want free childcare”??!? Why the fuck wouldn’t you want that for everyone??
In NYC, Mayor Zohran Mamdani cruised to victory in part because of a pledge to make child care free.
But D.C. mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George's plan for affordable childcare doesn't go that far: “People have said to me, ‘We don't want free child care. We just want affordable child care.'"

Janeese Lewis George wants affordable child care for DC
It’s not free, and her plan faces fiscal challenges.

When asking someone to do something it's important to be clear about everything you are asking them to do, and when you are asking them to do it, up front.

Several men I knew back in college have since died from colon cancer in their late 40s early 50s because they ignored the signs (& family history) and didn’t seek treatment until it was way too late. Do the prep, get the test, live longer. Please.
Reupping this because a colonoscopy is no big deal and anyone over 40 should be talking to their doctor about getting one.
Take care of yourselves, people.

The prep isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, the surgery is the best nap you'll ever have, and the first meal after is a religious experience.

Someone really needs to run a campaign of “Floridians have been elected GOP governors, cabinet, & legislative majorities for almost twenty years now. All you’ve gotten is a state that does nothing for anyone but wealthy campaign donors. That’s not a state, that’s an investment fund.”

No one warns you that success doesn’t always feel good.
Promotion can bring:
- More visibility
- More responsibility
- Less internal safety
So when relief doesn’t come, people assume something is wrong with them.
Nothing is.
