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

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...

It's #ElectionDay and child care providers have been out in our communities encouraging our neighbors to vote YES on Prop 50 to put power back into the hands of the people and protect workers.

Time to feed people + continue to give them health care--that is putting America first.

I'm all good man, players should never be scared of other players, but I couldn't imagine thinking it was a good idea to trash talk Steph Curry. Pick your battles

Excited to fly here next week 😑

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Family child care providers in California will see an increase in state funding for serving low-income children after their union ratified an agreement with the state.

Congrats to @lexapot.bsky.social & the incredible providers she works with to stabilize ECE providers and to work towards funding full cost of care for CA’s youngest. This will support kids, families and providers.

Congratulations to the 60K child care providers with @ccpucalifornia.bsky.social! You fought, you organized, & you WON, protecting healthcare, winning cost-of-living adjustments & stabilization pay, & building a foundation for the future. This is what worker power looks like. 💪🏿 #UnionsForAll

"Our contracts have brought stability and real progress, but the fight isn’t over. We must be paid the true cost of care so providers can earn, and pay our staff, a living wage," said Yolanda Thomas, a child care provider in Contra Costa County and member of CCPU’s negotiations team.

Victory! Child Care Providers ratified our third contract with the state after months of negotiations, rallies, and vigils. This comes after both #CALeg and Governor Newsom have ratified this agreement!

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Veronica Burton and Natalie Nakase are so Matt Saracen and Eric Taylor coded. Incredible season

CCPU mourns the devastating loss of Mary Gutierrez-Hunter. When providers came together decades ago to talk about our lack of collective power to negotiate over poverty wages, benefits, and more, Mary stood hand in hand with providers to help us form our union.

I have questions for the other 43%....

🚨BREAKING🚨 #CCPUCalifornia has reached a tentative agreement w/the State of California that protects benefits, wins stabilization pay, & ongoing cost-of-living adjustments, helping keep child care doors open by starting to stem the loss of skilled providers created by low pay.

🚨 Bargaining Update!🚨 After four consecutive days of negotiations in Sacramento, the #CCPUCalifornia Bargaining Team was ready to finalize a new contract, but instead of addressing the child care crisis, the state walked away! Read our full update: childcareprovidersunited.org/the-fight-fo...

Child care is in crisis!🚨Providers like Patricia Moran are being forced to close their doors due to low pay from the state, ripping essential, affordable child care from families.

That's my hometown that looks Sweet Home Alabama today (actually, not the song lyric version).

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?
