School vouchers are a scam that further divides children between the haves and have nots, and in so doing, miseducate us all to be more selfish against each other and ignorant about each other.

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I have a complicated relationship with the Catholic church, but Popes Leo and Francis give me hope for what we could be.
In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.
It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ironically, if it wasn't for the ideology that everyone deserves to learn reading, writing, and math, we wouldn't have the ability to teach that to everyone.
