The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care. Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. The Democrats’ spending bill tries to shrink the gap. https://t.co/convDaRSG6 pic.twitter.com/dLOnFhydNd

One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.
Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

I love the Medieval ghost story and the spooky cats! Thanks JJ.
Yes I love them too are you a fan
The childcare spending numbers are a sad indictment on our country.
I once read or heard something like – you can tell a lot about a society by the way they treat their animals. They probably spend more on their dogs in Norway than we do on our children.
The drawing with the butterflies and the bees being poisoned and falling out of the sky …
Yeah. That one stays with me, too.
Great cartoons, JJ. And such good news about the Bears Ears protection. It would have been abhorrent to have that land torn up for strip mines and drilled for “resource extraction.”
