Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Republicans need to act now to make sure those benefits are available to people who depend on them. If they don’t, millions of children, seniors, and low-income Americans will go hungry ahead of the holidays.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Sadly, climate-related risks will not vanish if they are denied. With the deliberate choice to undermine climate science, knowledge production and science-based university programs, people will be less informed, less prepared.

Last night a tornado hit a trailer park just miles from where I used to live. In Talladega, a bus was thrown into the roof of a high school. Several schools in the path would have been out on the roads at Prom if not for the warnings of the National weather service last night. Thank NWS.

@johnathanperk.bsky.social I appreciate you for what I’m taking in as my on-going lesson on white privilege. Not always pretty to face, but critically important. Sending you and all teachers gratitude.

A Social Worker made all the difference to my family today. With incredible expertise and warmth, she made things happen that really eased our path—and our minds (and fully eclipsed the medical staff, tbh).
