Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

So teaching and nursing will no longer be considered “professional” degrees?! Is this because they are female dominated careers? What is the reasoning behind this?! Careers wouldn’t even exist without teachers. We are literally teaching the future.

Anyone want to help a first year art teacher #clearthelist ?! My daughter in law Rose just got hired to teach art grades 6-8 in Princeton, Texas. She could really use some help getting these items for her classroom! Thank you for supporting fine arts education! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

I spent about 4 hours in the car 🚗 today. Listened to Spotify “new wave 80s” channel and I swear it’s like a mix tape of memories from my high school years. Only the good memories, of course 😉

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

Green Card holders, for example, are covered by the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. They are also on a path to citizenship. Having a green card is not the same as having a student visa or H1B so don’t let the GOP pretend it is or redefine it with some new BS lesser meaning.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

It’s not “America First” to pull the rug out from under an ally and leave their people to die. This kind of foreign policy will end with no one in the world trusting America. Our alliances give us strength and the damage being done makes our country weaker and us all less safe.
