No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

This gave me chills. Watch.

Susan - joined for stretches by Athena and Chris - has been braving the heat, putting in miles along the Oregon Trail, as the walk makes its way toward Twin Falls. #womenswalkacrossamerica #oregontrail #twinfalls #idaho

Before Mother’s Day, a group of senators raised the alarm about the “appalling and horrific treatment” of pregnant and nursing people in immigration detention. “There are virtually no legal safeguards for pregnant women in federal custody.”

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

A small but powerful action you can take right now, in less than five minutes.

The other central person in this story was Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson. There is so much to this story, it would make a great movie. There is a 14-minute mini-documentary called Deeds not Words: The Suffragette Surgeons of WWI. It's on YouTube. 👇

Rachel Entrekin just won a 250 mile race. Like, won against everybody. Like, the fastest man was slower. And Kilian Korth is *fast.* The next several years of endurance running is going to prove this isn't even a fluke. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

Congratulations, Rachel!!! You inspire us to keep going.

Let that sink in…🤔 #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles #Epsteinvictims #justice #womensrights

Tuesday we will head into the belly of the beast for an Oversight hearing in Palm Beach to hear from Epstein Survivors in FL. We won’t stop until there’s justice.

From Emily: I want to make it clear that when I mentioned the SAVE Act and anti-abortion legislation, I was answering the question of what motivated *me* when I decided to do this. I don’t claim to speak for everyone who participates in the walk. Our joint declaration can be seen on our website.

In a packed Capitol Hill room, survivors, family members of Virginia Giuffre and their allies demand accountability, systemic reform and an end to the silence that has long protected powerful perpetrators. msmagazine.com/2026/05/06/c...

Attention all men. More of this, please.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

Attorney and journalist Katie Phang is taking the fight to Todd Blanche. She just filed suit to force the release of the hidden Epstein files—including documents allegedly pulled back because they named Trump. Read the full story: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-...

We did it!! We reached our first Capitol outside of Oregon! 1 down, 8 to go. #womenswalkacrossamerica #boise #idaho #capitol

Yes! More of this energy please!

This is a Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor appreciation post. Thank you for your just and righteous voices and your fierce defense of our democracy. ❤️

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

Dutch track & field athlete Fanny Blankers-Koen was the first woman to win 4 gold medals in a single Olympiad (London, 1948). She was 30, a mother of 2, and 3 months pregnant with her 3rd child. 😮 She was born #OTD in 1918. And there's more...(1/2)

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Lucille Ball--actress, comedian, producer & film-studio executiver--died #OTD in 1989. In 1962, she bought out Desi Arnaz's interest in Desilu Productions & became the 1st woman to own & run a major TV studio. Desilu produced many popular TV series including Mission: Impossible & #StarTrek. #legend

From Emily: I joined Susan and Melissa on the route on Wednesday afternoon, and together we crossed the southern Blue Mountains in something of a snow storm (I honestly loved it) before parting ways. Since then I’ve been joined by a new walker, Audra, and we’ve had good weather and stunning vistas.

It’s *always* been about control.

The silver-spoon HHS secretary can’t stand to see people—mainly women—get paid for care work in the home.

From Emily: Susan was an absolute trooper!Undaunted by severe weather and (technically “minor” but still painful) personal injuries - she (and the three women who joined her for a couple of days each) covered roughly 80 miles in 7 days. I am so grateful to her for carrying the torch during my break!

Four female patients complained to the state’s medical commission about OG-GYN Dr. Mark Mulholland from 2022 through 2024. Because the board waited until September 2025 to restrict Mulholland’s license, he kept practicing — and seeing more patients who would later file complaints.

Despite wind, rain, sleet, hail, and snow, Susan has continued to make great progress! She sent these gorgeous shots for us to share. #womenswalkacrossamerica #easternoregon

I don’t have words to describe the rage. I feel that the little girls in the files weren’t enough, but an AI generated image is. I feel consuming fury, not when I raise my voice or yell, but when I get silent and composed. And this fills me with fury. #deconstruction #exvangelical #currentevents

“I want to hear from men. I want to see men talking about this online ra*pe academy and how utterly abhorrent it is. Women talk about this all the time. We've said enough.”

Indeed—Elect more women!

From Emily: We had our first official hand off! I am off the route for a brief break with my family, but have passed the proverbial baton to Susan, who continues our progress through Eastern Oregon. #womenswalkacrossamerica
