Turns out, #Wicked is absolutely an accessible educational tool to teach children about the dangers of fascism and compliance within a system designed to hurt people.
My 6yo asked in the car today if we could listen to Wicked and keep talking about how the Wizard and President Trump are similar.

@nytimes.com has an article today about the girl who was trafficked by Greenberg & Gaetz.
She just wanted braces. She was 17, homeless, and wanted her teeth fixed.
My heart breaks for her and girls like her.

Can confirm. I’m pretty sure the housing crisis in Madison is due to obscene rental costs & weird af pricing. A house in our neighborhood is well kept, but in desperate need of updates, is listed at $700K.
A studio apt in our former building? $2100/mo.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

We’re away from home, out of network & my 6yo has an ear infection.
The final cost for concierge MD treatment (quick physical + antibiotics in hand) was $400.
That’s a prohibitive cost for many, especially those facing rising ACA costs.
Anyway, #FireSchumer. #ReleaseTheFiles

Trump is playing political games and is willing to let kids go hungry.
He's planning to hold back SNAP benefits on November 1, even though he's got the money and the power to send them out.
If they don't send the funds, we'll see them in court. Help us spread the word and keep the pressure up!

Get your fucking #Dtap vaccine.
We just got a letter from our #publichealth department that #pertussis is spreading in my 6yo’s elementary school.
Given our family dynamic & health status, we’ve been instructed to seek preventative antibiotics. Awesome.

Dear @pocan.house.gov & @baldwin.senate.gov :

The federal government is failing us. What are we doing to keep kids from starving?

States have been told not to send transmissions to state EBT vendors by end of October.
This means SNAP benefits would not be distributed to anyone who qualifies.
I know my state and many others are reaching out for further guidance. This would send 40+ million Americans into food insecurity.

The world is burning, but my 6yo has no idea. She’s watching home improvement shows, making perler bead creations, and being extremely patient while her hair dye processes because she needs pink hair for a successful #KPopDemonHunters Halloween.

So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.
It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Trump isn’t popular; the Republican Party isn’t popular; doubling the healthcare premiums for millions of people isn’t very popular, either.

Day 1 of asking why Senator Ron Johnson is taking a paycheck when #GOP owns power across all three branches of government.
If he can’t be bothered to do his job, it’s Congress’ responsibility to ensure that we don’t waste taxpayer funds to pay them while they ask others to work for free.
