🗳️Voters around the country overwhelmingly supported child care and other child-focused ballot measures yesterday, despite Harris' (the "pro child-care" candidate) loss. I've been tracking these measures. See what has passed, and the few that have failed: https://t.co/api62npOt4

"It wouldn’t be far-fetched to extrapolate that over $1 billion a year in public funds is being spent on dual enrollment across the nation."

Dual enrollment has exploded. But it's hard to tell if it's helping more kids get a college degree. https://t.co/w1vxW0TTnp

The numbers on college closures are staggering: Nearly 300 colleges and universities offering an associate degree or higher closed from 2008 to 2023. @ReporterMarina and @oliviarsanchez created a tool to track this seismic shift in higher education.

"At a time when the U.S. has yet to meaningfully invest in widespread, high-quality child care for all, especially for infants and toddlers, Norway provides an example of what affordable, universal, child-centric early care can look like." @jackiemader

Rural America is more than white, conservative, or Republican.

It also consists of Black folks who have power. Black rural voters have consistently voted for the Democratic Party at rates of 90% or more.

Why is their influence often invisible?

In Norway, having a joyful, secure childhood is a right enshrined into law. Child care isn't just a place to put children so parents can work, it’s a place where childhood is protected, with access guaranteed and heavily subsidized for all. My latest:

As free-tuition programs have multiplied, so have questions and doubts. Are low-income students benefiting? Is free tuition leading to more college graduates? https://t.co/BWIjVUgRcq @jillbarshay explains

These are not schools where students post the highest test scores, but schools where kids learn more each school year than students typically do: https://t.co/ZKImSPJ2Fg via @jillbarshay
