Virginia is an open carry state. It's pretty common to see people with guns at protests and rallies (like the thousands of armed 2A supporters who came to Richmond in 2020) Police leave them alone if there's no threat, because they know even a minor scuffle can get someone shot

If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don’t do it!

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I can't keep up, lol. First of all, "were discovered" = used the free search tool MA makes available to help parents -- childcare.mass.gov/findchildcare Second of all, licensed child care programs are both center-based and home-based! It's a whole category type! childcare.gov/consumer-educa…

4,000 daycares were discovered in a 20 mile radius around Boston Massachusetts There are “clusters” of condos and homes that are registering themselves as daycares Americans can’t even fathom the theft and money laundering taking place nationwide. Why are any of us paying taxes

Hi @RepThomasMassie, great questions! I work in child care policy, so let me try to answer: 1) The federal government doesn't "provide" daycare, but it has supported child care in various forms since the advent of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program in…

The fraud in MN is insane and should be prosecuted, but I have questions: When did it become the federal government’s role to provide daycare? Can grandmas get payments if they care for grandkids? why not? Do moms who work at home or on a farm qualify for this assistance?

Always remember that the core cause of this is the fact we continue to choose to treat child care as a private market good & wholly an individual family responsibility as opposed to a collective social good like education (and to acknowledge that child care is education too)

It’s really sad (and crazy) that the U.S. does not have better childcare options for kids under 5. It’s super expensive and hard to even find an opening. More parents are missing work now than during the pandemic, data shows. The “childcare crisis” isn’t going away. By…

Kristallnacht happened on November 9 1938. In one night 91 Jews were murdered by Nazis in Germany. 30,000 Jewish men were then kidnapped and sent to concentration camps. After, 638 people committed suicide. Never again will we accept hate and violence as the norm for Jews.

Don’t tell Jews not to use the words pogrom and antisemitism to describe acts of violence against us. You can’t describe a poison you didn’t taste.
