Everyone should be able to access affordable health care, including abortion care. While Senate Democrats tried to pass a clean bill to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing, the majority of Senate Republicans voted to rip away care from millions. nwlc.org/press-releas...

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on a bill that would save millions of Americans from skyrocketing health care costs. But some Senate Republicans are trying to sabotage the effort by adding a backdoor abortion coverage ban to the bill. Working people need health care. Not political games.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Held the back line down 🧱 Tara McKeown is the 2025 NWSL Defender of the Year!

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

They followed her to her job, barged in without permission, and abducted her in front of her coworkers and in the presence of children. ICE agents are cruel, dangerous, and lawless.

The cruel ICE enforcement will touch us all—The care workers who are targeted because of their race and where they work, the day care center that is now short staffed, the families desperate to find affordable care so that they too can work. ICE is a problem for us all. wgntv.com/news/chicago...

Child care educators are the backbone of our communities. Yet this morning, a teacher in Chicago was forcibly removed from her day care center. No one deserves to be treated this inhumanely. And especially not those who care for our kids. wgntv.com/news/chicago...

Universal child care is the future

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

Hey USDA and Pres. Trump: women and families are tired of your political games. Half the funding for SNAP means many families will still be going hungry. It means moms will still skip meals so their children have something to eat. Enough.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

"We cannot have home rule and autonomy if our neighbors are being abducted and taken away. It is either all of us or none of us," said one speaker. “What happens when the people start to fight back? Every action has a reaction. That’s not what you want," said another.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Today I spoke at VOICE’s Homes for All Assembly about the urgency of our housing shortage. We must build homes for all incomes, ensure every level of government plays its part, and use our power to unlock housing and protect stability for everyone in Alexandria.

He said in “two weeks” — 159 weeks ago.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are barreling the country toward a shutdown, huge increases in health insurance premiums, and more economic hardship for families. On Tuesday at 6pm (tomorrow!), join us & @fairshareamerica.bsky.social in DC to demand health care over billionaires. RSVP ⤵️

One week ago—with half an hour of notice given to the union, and in the midst of bargaining for our second contract—the National Women’s Law Center announced it would be eliminating 20% of staff, laying off 32 of our colleagues (including 21 members of our unit).

🗣A brighter future for every New Mexico family is on the horizon! 🌟 Starting November 1st, all New Mexico families will have access to universal childcare, REGARDLESS OF INCOME. 👏 This ensures that every child has the chance to thrive, and every family can access the care they need to succeed. 💗

Many of these bills haven’t been introduced yet and have no text, but House Republicans have already decided to mark them up. This is absolutely ridiculous. No hearings. No analysis. And the people who are affected — DC residents — have no vote.

Hard to forget the social and political moment in DC and in America in 2025. But the trans and pride flag combos, the Free DC protests and the drag queen performers definitely made the resistance to the actions unfolding really visible. Including the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social tifo
