It's Not That Young People Don't Want Children. It's That They Can't Afford Having Children.
This is not an annoying steering wheel picture. It marks one major event in my January—my nail artist moved out of the city.

My nail artist moved because child care was unaffordable. Her story shows how cities are pricing out young families—and why child care reform matters. #MomSky www.momsrising.org/blog/its-not...
MN’s food banks are under additional pressure because of ICE. Please help get the word out!! #FoodJustice
In MN there are many families currently needing food assistance due to the ice occupation making it too dangerous for them to go to school, work,or leave their homes to get food.
People facing hunger is another aspect of the occupation that is hurting people.
Below are links to some MN food banks.

Had brunch with a girlfriend this morning. She said she supports ICE because undocumented immigrants are draining our healthcare funds. I said, well, how about #FundHealthcareOverIce ??
Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen. Call your MoC to vote No on Funding 🧊—202-224-3121!

This!
The hypocrisy of decrying population decline amidst mass deportations of children and families. We'll say the quiet part out loud: When they say “fruitful marriages,” they mean “more white babies.” The pro-natalist movement has never been pro-family. #MomSky

This is the moment when more than 30 million Americans received affordable healthcare in 2010.
Today, Republicans have voted to make healthcare UNAFFORDABLE for more than 40 million.
The #RepublicanHealthCareFailure and greed will cost thousands of lives.
Vote and make Trump a lame duck in 2026.

Reading The New Jim Crow. Some parts are hard to follow, but one point really hit me: the system was designed to make poor whites feel superior to Blacks, stopping them from uniting to challenge white elites. It’s painful to realize how well that strategy still works today.

You are impact by the pausing of SNAP, even you don’t use it: 1/8 adults and 1/4 kids in America receive SNAP. A one-month pause in SNAP could cause $16 million to vanish from our economy! It hurts not only grocery stores, but the entire supply chain. Pausing SANP will cost EVERYONE.
NOVEMBER 1 is going to be a double whammy.
The end of SNAP benefits will impact millions.
Millions will lose health insurance when enrollment opens and they see the unaffordable price increases.
Congressional Republicans should brace themselves as most will be their constituents.
