How did I get on the side of Twitter where we are encouraging a government shut down? Can someone please explain to me why it’s good to shut the government down? I can only think of why a gov shut down is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing to do….

I pay for @netflix premium, which means that my family can watch Netflix at home and I can watch Netflix away from home (two households) but the app continues to say that we need to upgrade our household or something weird. Like what’s the point of premium if it’s not gonna work!

Did you know more than 40+ M Americans between the ages of 18- 27 will have election power in 2024? This year almost 49% of the voting population will be 18-43 years old. I’m hearing a lot about IDWT vote for this, and IDWT vote for that when we can really SHAKE THE TABLE 🤷🏽‍♀️!

For 5 years I petitioned @EdNCES to collect basic needs data. They finally did in Fall 2020. Results are being released 7/26/23 National estimates of food & housing insecurity - for the first time ever. Huge moment for the #RealCollege movement!
