Trump’s billion dollar slush fund is one of the most brazen acts of corruption in modern history.
We cannot normalize this level of self-dealing and greed, and we must make every American aware how he is using OUR tax dollars for his own corrupt schemes.

Remarkably You originally came out in 2019. Today, @QuillTreeBooks releases a new format. Same words by me. Same art by Patrice Barton. No dust jacket and a lower price.
May it help a new group of readers see how they’re remarkable!
Thanks to @pamela_wellsp for filming and @WisBBYearbook for the perfect book toss.

Nope. Famous last-scene example: hollyschindler.substack.com/…

After reading The Reindeer Remainders, use a hula hoop or taped circle to show “making room”:
1️⃣ Squeeze: small group stands inside the circle
2️⃣ Remainder: one student stands outside
3️⃣ Shift: ask how to make space, then move to include them
