Sadly, there are hundreds of kids that live 5 miles away from the white house in the same situation
A biology teacher in Pine Bluff, Arkansas noticed one of her students kept falling asleep in class. Instead of sending her to the principal, she asked why. The girl was living with a grandmother who had no bed for her, in a house with termites eating the walls and the electricity shut off. The teacher, Crystal Barnes, bought a bed frame and mattress with her own money, on a fifty thousand dollar salary. When she delivered it, the girl asked if she could also have some food. She was hungry. Barnes now keeps a cart of snacks in her classroom, paid for out of pocket, because she can't undo what federal cuts have done but she can do that much.
Barnes found her own way out of a similar hole as a pregnant fifteen year old, through a nonprofit that fed her son and helped her finish school. She's spending her career paying that forward one bed, one snack cart at a time. It's not policy. It's not enough. It's just what's left when policy fails and someone still shows up anyway.

I voted for her yesterday.
If you voted for him you voted for what he stands for. Gon head and enjoy your vote.
Donald Trump called Stephen A. Smith an “arrogant fool,” a “low IQ individual,” and “dumb as a rock.”
Stephen A.’s response? He later went on Hannity and said he “takes no offense” and that Trump had every right to fire back.
But let the National Association of Black Journalists give him a Thumbs Down award for a documented pattern of disparaging Black women, and suddenly this man has discovered unlimited smoke, goes on a media tour, and threatens to expose the NABJ.
That contrast is LOUD.
Trump calls you stupid and you shrug like a punk: no offense taken. Black journalists criticize your record and you’re ready for war. Amazing how you find the bass in your voice when confronting Black people, but turn into a house trained puppy when the man holding your leash insults you.
All that energy for NABJ. All that grace for Trump.
That’s the receipt.
