Court packing is the moderate solution.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Our costs aren't 50% off, and our COLA in this year's budget shouldn't be either! We're in Sacramento making sure #CALeg hears us loud and clear: we deserve the same 4.31% increase offered to other educators. We also advocated for our priority bills, #AB1981 and #AB2379

“We’re not here for trouble… we’re just here to see our family members.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark on Day 4 of the hunger strike, a 10-year-old whose father is detained inside confronts masked guards, asking why they won’t show their faces. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Muslim American community following the horrific attack on the Islamic Center.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

A memorial for those we've lost to state violence #maydaystrong

Let May Day be a reminder of the courage of workers across the world demanding peace, fair wages, and better working conditions. History demands more than standing with workers in spirit. We must fight alongside them in Congress every day.

California’s providers and families deserve a system that truly works, and we won’t stop fighting until we get there. Today's Senate budget blueprint is a direct reflection on the decades of hard work from providers and parents to ensure child care investments are prioritized by the state.

When you ask if Curry is the GOAT

Child care providers are proud to partner with Assemblymember Solache to ensure the state broadens its training offerings for providers with a focus on the safety and wellbeing of us and the families and communities we serve.

There are people who have dedicated careers or even just their personalities to downgrading Steph Curry as a basketball player. What a bunch of dorks

Priorities.

Today on #EqualPayDay, we’re reflecting on the generations of women led workforces who have faced intentionally low pay. Domestic workers have been fighting just to catch up since Emancipation. Our economy doesn’t work without us — it’s time for #CALeg to unite behind #AB1981.

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Simmons’ grandmother, Bernice Smith, echoed the same sentiment to NBC4. “Families are suffering right now,” she said. “Just to create a war because you want to create a war is not right.” In a statement, the Simmons family encouraged the public to take their grief to the ballot box in November.

Six years ago, Breonna Taylor was shot and killed after officers executed a “No Knock” warrant for a suspect who didn’t live there & had already been arrested. Breonna was killed in her sleep. We remember Breonna Taylor. #EndGunViolence

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Child care providers are united against hate. Our members stand in unity with our Somali sisters facing baseless attacks. Fear-mongering has no place in our communities.

Awed by his courage.

Child care providers are standing together to call on our courts to REJECT the federal government's threats to freeze child care funding. This unlawful funding freeze will cause severe harm to the communities we serve, including low-income and single-parents!

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Why Bernice King sees MLK Day as a ‘saving grace’ in today’s political climate

This dude is intense and correct

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair.” - John Lewis #RIP

We’ll continue fighting to protect access to care for working families — no politically, racist fueled attacks can stop us. ✊

America First (TM) means paying 30,000 Danish citizens $100,000 bonuses EACH while Americans can’t afford health insurance.

Threatening to freeze federal child care funding and overturning stabilization policies, along with harassment of providers of Somali descent in Minnesota and beyond, are direct threats on working families of all backgrounds who rely on access to quality, affordable child care.

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

I stand with the Somali childcare providers who have experienced targeted harassment, and condemn the surveillance campaign promoted by extremist influencers. If you believe yourself to be the victim of a hate crime, please call this hotline: www.atg.wa.gov/report-hate

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Child care providers are a lifeline for our communities, making it possible for parents with unpredictable schedules to keep their jobs by offering door-to-door transportation & connecting them to resources. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-12-22/women-child-care-providers-south-l-a

Faith leaders have chained themselves to the doors of San Francisco's immigration courthouse, blockading the building in the predawn hours. missionlocal.org/2025/12/fait...

Congrats to PSU faculty taking a momentous step today in winning their union!

"In the Labor Movement, an injury to one is an injury to all. By vilifying our Somali American co-workers and neighbors and threatening military-style raids in Minnesota’s communities, President Trump is attacking our state’s entire Labor Movement." aflcio.mn/49VgXGv

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Schiff and Padilla, the two senators from California, represent 12% of the US population. It's beyond unacceptable that we can't leave voicemails with them whenever we want.

One parent said she dropped off her child moments after the teacher was taken away and stumbled upon a chaotic scene. “I walked into a room of crying kids, crying parents and crying teachers,” she said. “It was traumatizing.” by @arelisrhdz.bsky.social

Prop 50 was called the moment that polls closed in California. The blowout showed how showing up to fight is the most important thing in Democratic politics right now. It also means that (pending SCOTUS) Dems have largely neutralized Trump's gerrymandering push. From me: prospect.org/2025/11/04/c...
