GRITTY in Elevating TRUTH & LOVING My Neighbor | People Funded Virginia State Rep | Baba of Three
Absolutely. Childcare is infrastructure. Quality childcare is more than daycare, rather preparing our children with the social and emotional skills to build resilience. That's how children can better cope with adverse childhood experiences and trauma.

Commentary: Treat child care for what it is: economic infrastructure
Just like roads, broadband and housing, child care is foundational to a functioning modern economy.

! Not only because he has a track record of standing with us, not only because of his willingness to fight powerful moneyed interests, but also because Sam is right to call attention to genocide. The moral bankruptcy of focusing on semantics should be self evident.

Mr. President, I am glad we agree that forced starvation must end in Gaza. Now let's do no weapons to Israel.

One day, everyone will have always been against this genocide. After 22 months of the most horrific crimes, there is no doubt that Israel is conducting the most evil cleansing in human history as we fund and watch it play out minute by minute. This must end.

Big Ugly Bill hurts people on MEDICARE as well. For example, Medicaid serves as secondary insurance to Medicare helping with copays/deductibles. They are attacking the poor who are older or disabled as well.

Israel just bombed Iran, trying to drag us into another war. Israel is committing genocide and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Israel took us into the Iraq war where we murdered over 500,000 Iraqis. Israel is a terrorist state.

Some folks had it harder than others, but no one is completely self-made. Thanks to our teachers, our unions, our neighbors, & all those who invested in us along the way That's why we believe in investing in the collective.

People keep trying to ignore Israel's Genocide, because it makes them feel uncomfortable. There is no escaping it. This Genocide is an experiment in the depths of human depravity.

These speeches have been a time when we hear ideas from our nation's leader. This is the beginning of a shift. Unlike Trump 1.0 where he simply said whatever, future speeches will be intentional entertainment filled identity politics. A key strategy for modern autocrats.

Many times it takes about a month to work on ourselves, like kick a habit or start a new program. Every year, the month of Ramadan gives an opportunity to start fresh to cleanse our bodies & minds, while drawing closer to family and community. A blessed Ramadan to all 🙏🏽

Some privileged people feel uncomfortable when we talk about this. The problem is that if we stay quite during a genocide, that we are personally facilitating and funding, then we have told the world that no one will ever be safe, anywhere.
