New @censusbureau data released today finds that nearly 14% of children in the U.S. are living in poverty, about a million more kids from last year. This is unacceptable because we know what works to #EndChildPoverty https://t.co/bRjrjlo4Bj

@1NativeSoilNerd Thank you for sharing this - I’m going to aim to shift my language.

@putnamhornstein @CTYJohnsHopkins @ProfEmilyOster @urgencyofnormal @drlucymcbride @MonicaGandhi9 @VPrasadMDMPH This seems quite reasonable to me -
There are confirmed case and exposures, and in order to ensure as many children as possible can continue to experience the camp, they’ve instituted appropriate risk mitigation strategies (moving activities outdoors and having masking indoors).

We are excited that over 90 percent of families are matched with a high-quality preschool provider and will save over $164 million across the state.

We encourage anyone who has not yet signed up to do so today at https://t.co/AXPJuGUroR

We know that ACEs profoundly affect health throughout the lifetime. New research suggests early childhood may be a critical period when exposure to adversity can have outsized effects. https://t.co/NWgFzaFzQU

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

I am thrilled that nearly 25,000 families were able to match with their universal preschool provider. Universal preschool will help save families on average $6,000 per year. This is an exciting moment in Colorado, and I enjoyed sharing the news with families.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

My periodic reminder: two presidents who lost the popular vote appointed five Supreme Court justices to lifetime appointments.

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

[Dan Diamond @ddiamond]

“Today’s decision strips women of agency over what even the majority agrees is a contested and contestable moral issue. It forces her to carry out the State’s will… it takes away her liberty,” Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan write. “We dissent.”

[Melissa Boteach @mboteach]

SCOTUS is gutting our constitutional right to abortion. And the same lawmakers who will rush to put in place draconian bans are the ones who won't expand Medicaid, block paid leave, and slash our safety net.

This was ALWAYS about controlling our bodies.

And we will fight back.
