When my daughter read this, she said "You and Mom are a good combo. The recovering cynic and the recovering always-looking-at-the-bright-side."

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.
Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.
Take that shit to court!

I sat today on a call with a client who just sobbed for fifteen minutes.
Two people she knows are about to be deported. They were here legally and on a path to citizenship.
One has a toddler who was born here who does not understand why his mama may have to leave.
It’s horrifying.

“They’ll get over it” – Mitch McConnell when millions lose their health care and hospitals could shut down.
Absolutely heartless.

He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica
A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.
