The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Yes. Join PTA! There is work being done at the local school, council, state, and national levels.

2018-2021, we were taught stare decisis was key. My legal writing Prof. actually used O’Connors opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey to bring the point home.
I honestly think people are unwilling to recognize that this Court is outcome determinative and that outcome is determined by Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.

It is also wildly illegal, not how anything works, and indicative of Trump’s ignorance to details—so balance any fears accordingly.
It wasn't until a few years later when it stopped working during 3L's adventure into the zoom school of law with a kid also remote learning that I was Dx with ADHD. I was 40!

“[A] step up the dystopian terror scale.”
I wonder the cost of that nightmare. You know since we supposedly defunded the police and now need to divert $350M of the state budget.

Project 2025 has an agenda for public schools-destroy them & make parents shop for schools w/ vouchers. It whittles away protections for LGBTQ, disadvantaged students & students w/ disabilities. Watch our explainer https://www.tiktok.com/@network4publiceducation/video/7392231741714484526
