The enhanced Child Tax Credit meant more kids had food on the table and a roof over their heads. We can’t justify letting a policy lapse after it helped cut child poverty by nearly half.

Congress delivered for working families before. It’s time to do it again.

Elected leaders in the state of Florida must cease & desist from sowing division and hate. Tomorrow @brepairers is joining diverse faith leaders and @FloridaChurches to launch a season of repentance, confession, and prayer. Hate and division cannot have the last say.

This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ https://t.co/AQn2pIuZQM

Racist Shootings “Don’t Happen in a Vacuum”: Bishop Barber on DeSantis, Trump & Those Who Spread Hate https://t.co/7U5Mb3EXpa

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Racial justice organizer @RevDrBarber says last month's shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, by a white supremacist can't be divorced from hateful rhetoric from political leaders like Governor Ron DeSantis. "There is this history of not just who kills but what kills," says Barber.

Climate scientist @ClimateHuman discusses the “deep emergency” of climate change and the role of the fossil fuel industry’s “legalized bribery.”

“It breaks my heart to see the Biden administration continue to expand fossil fuels and take us deeper into this catastrophe.”

🧵The #LittleRockNine integrated Little Rock Central High School 66 years ago today. In 2023, many are hard at work to prevent children from learning that this vitriol and racism existed then and that it exists now.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

It’s back to school – and Minnesota is making sure no kid has to learn on an empty stomach.
