I’ve worked in early childhood education and seen the power of early support. In Congress, I’ll fight to make quality, affordable early education accessible to every family.

Unchecked - Flown the Coop Unchecked - By Firefly's Light Checked - Find the Fairy Fountain Link (looking at the checklist): ... Not... too bad then? (softly) Not great, but whatevs.

Some more guilty than others, but the entire #culture is #complicit. And I'm not going to put it just on #white #people, but I'm not going to not put it just on white people either. They had the #headstart with leverage and still maintain most of it. White people pull your head out and get it right.

Jan. 6, 2026: A federal judge halted HHS guidance banning DEIA language in Head Start grants. Language is not neutral—erasing words that name marginalized communities has long preceded civil rights erosion. Disabled people must not be erased.

The Trump administration is banning words for employees at Head Start programs. These programs serve in underprivileged communities. This is all an attempt to gut these programs and we can’t let this happen. I put these words into 3 categories: admin, never used, and maybe used. #trump #headstart
Um.... how exactly are we not supposed to use the word "Hispanic" or "Latinx" when those are 100% of the kids in most classrooms and 50% in all the rest?? #headstart #children #trumpisevil
