amazing chart!

"Poverty rates for Black, Latino, and Native American children are staggeringly high compared to child poverty rates in other rich democracies as well as Asian American and white children in the United States. By contrast, white and Asian American children exhibit poverty rates similar to children in most other rich democracies."

Becca Mancari and Joy Oladokun at the Howard Theatre yesterday. Becca resplendent in performance garb (look at those shoes!) Both in fine voice and fettle, Joy had to stop and cry for a minute but it was all in love and community. Both of their records out this year are terrific. #dcmusic #joyoladokun #beccamancari #indiepop #queermusic #howardtheatre

Wisconsin is the key to the White House and the House Majority. So we should all be paying attention to some dirty GOP shenanigans underway there. Democracy and the rule of law is at serious risk, and that could affect us all. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/wisconsin-politics-are-a-hot-mess?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Wisconsin Politics Are A Hot Mess. And That Affects Us All.

Yesterday, I previewed the brewing battle in Wisconsin over the potential impeachment of newly elected state Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz. The stakes are very high: A landmark redistricting case could wind up redrawing legislative and congressional districts in the state, ending the GOP’s supermajority in both chambers and likely flipping several congressional House seats.

Hi. If you see "Biden only gave {tiny amount} to help {issue X} while spending millions on Ukraine" in any of your social media, that is propaganda. It's from Putin's disinfo shops aimed at convincing the west to stop supporting Ukrainian defenses against the Russian invasion.

You can and should report and block those accounts.

Ok it's a small thing given that the world is on fire and the entire future of the US as a constitutional democracy is at stake, but still, NYT Spelling Bee, these are not words.

A radical idea: Just give kids lunch

Michigan became the seventh state to provide universal free school meals. Why aren't Democrats advocating this for the whole country?
