On Top of All the Back-to-School Jitters
Back-to-school season brings both excitement and anxiety, but this year parents at my child’s school were asked to donate $350 per student—far more than in past years—to cover programs the district do...

Back-to-school jitters hit harder when PTAs have to fill funding gaps. Our kids deserve more than bumper stickers—they deserve fully funded schools.

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.

During his first term, Trump’s travel ban hit close to home—my 4-year-old’s beloved Iranian teacher was suddenly gone. Eight years later, my now 12-year-old still remembers the fear and confusion. Attacks on immigrant communities are tearing classrooms apart.

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.

It’s Banned Books Week! 📚 I’m reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson—one of the most challenged books, according to PEN America. First published in 1999, it’s a modern classic that powerfully reminds us why we must listen to sexual assault survivors. My takeaway? Release the Epstein files. #booksky
