@Nonya_Bidniss@mas.toTim #Walz said that when he signed the school lunch bill he was at an elementary school, in a classroom, and he was explaining to the kids what it meant. He said "now all your friends can eat." And they mobbed him because they immediately knew exactly what it meant and why it mattered. That's the backstory of the ecstatic photos with the kids. You don't need much more than that to know why you should #VoteBlue. Bringing back the joy. #HarrisWalz2024
If you want to hear the whole Tim #Walz interview with this story, it's a segment in today's Fast Politics with Molly Jong Fast podcast. He also goes into why supporting the most vulnerable citizens is an investment that pays off in more productive citizens who make life better for everyone. (And after a natsec career, that is the view I've come to, as well.) https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-fast-politics-with-molly-102196036/episode/gov-tim-walz-rep-nancy-pelosi-203193142/
@Nonya_Bidniss What a perfect explanation. The kids know what hunger feels like. They have friends who go hungry. Now their friends won't be hungry at school.
@Stybba3019 they can learn stuff, and if you want to improve truancy rates, feed them!
I

A
SCHOOL LUNCH
KID.
Al I ever wanted to do when I got to college status was show why I was worth the investment.
@corq @Nonya_Bidniss
You had that at hello. Every kid is worth the investment.
Congrats on your accomplishment, your hard work took you far!

The photo of #Walz being hugged by school children, reminds me of two other photos:
@Nonya_Bidniss Children get it! They have to unlearn compassion & sharing if they become Republicans.
@Nonya_Bidniss everyone deserves to eat! (even though I don’t like sharing my food)
@Nonya_Bidniss Children don’t want other children to be hungry. They understand.
I just love that photo. I would have loved to have been there to see that unbridled joy!
@Nonya_Bidniss Tim Walz seems like an all around good guy. He is an excellent pick for VP.
@housepanther @Nonya_Bidniss
I feel like all of America wants to have a beer with the guy, then ask him how to change the oil in their mower.
@MHowell @housepanther @Nonya_Bidniss
I want to ask him why he isn't taking a stand against genocide, and why he locked up Line 3 protesters instead of stopping the pipeline.
@housepanther @Nonya_Bidniss I think he will ALSO be a great President. 16 more years of real progress.
And I think the generations alive today will have a fantastic example of compassion and good government, and in the name of the ENVIRONMENT may not feel the need to have the opposite party hold either the House or the Senate to bring balance to the country, because opposing fixing inequality and opposing fixing global warming are loser, weirdo positions of a permanent minority.
@Urban_Hermit I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking of a future Walz presidency. @housepanther @Nonya_Bidniss
@OGjester @Urban_Hermit @housepanther @Nonya_Bidniss Thanks for unfolling me, Jester, 'buddy', I won't soon forget it, don't worry about that.
@Tharpa@hear-me.social @OGjester @Urban_Hermit @housepanther Whatever the fuck that was, blocking works
@Nonya_Bidniss
Know how shitty it must be to be a kid and see that your friend can't buy lunch, or breakfast?
You think your own kid is telling them to starve?
That's not what kids do.
It's not what we teach kids to do.
It's not what we WANT kids to do.
So now your kid is sharing their breakfast with their friend, and both of them are hungry.
How motherfucking stupid is that?
Feed the damn kids!
#TimWalz
@Okanogen So right. I've heard so many stories of parents who learned to pack extra large lunches after hearing from their kids that so and so needed their sandwich.
@Nonya_Bidniss
We did that. Our kid asked us to do that.
this is the kind of person we need in our democracy…

@Nonya_Bidniss here is what Gov #Walz said before he signed the bill.
"This is a politics of hope & joy. This is a politics about a positive future. This is not finding things to divide us. This is not finding the petty to try & see if you can get a hit on Twitter or something. This is truly about doing what's right for the future." Gov Tim Walz March 2023
@Nonya_Bidniss "Now all your friends can eat" is a masterclass in clear, audience-friendly communication. Now excuse me, I have something in my eye...
@Nonya_Bidniss Make your vote Mean something! Vote for the Good Guys!
