Absolutely. Childcare is infrastructure.
Quality childcare is more than daycare, rather preparing our children with the social and emotional skills to build resilience.
That's how children can better cope with adverse childhood experiences and trauma.

I stand w/ @samrasoul.bsky.social! Not only because he has a track record of standing with us, not only because of his willingness to fight powerful moneyed interests, but also because Sam is right to call attention to genocide. The moral bankruptcy of focusing on semantics should be self evident.

Please don't ever bring up Booker running for President.
Cory Booker (D-NJ) voted against Bernie’s resolution to block sales of assault rifles to Israel.
This year, Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old from New Jersey.

One day, everyone will have always been against this genocide. After 22 months of the most horrific crimes, there is no doubt that Israel is conducting the most evil cleansing in human history as we fund and watch it play out minute by minute.
This must end.

I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont.
He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview.
He should be released so he can become a citizen.

Van Hollan = Goating
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
