I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Congressional Republicans just betrayed their constituents to give a tax break to their ultra-wealthy donors.

Voters will remember next year.

ICE tore a breastfeeding baby from its mother. A Marine’s wife. Three months old. So much for family values. If this is discretion, then cruelty has a badge and a quota. You don’t have to be a veteran to be outraged just human.

House Republicans decided that tax cuts for billionaires are more important than life-saving services like Medicaid.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
