139,000 people in #TN07 depend on Medicaid to see a doctor. They aren't looking for handouts. They're working at Walmart, Starbucks & small businesses -jobs that don't offer insurance. What happened to taking care of hardworking Americans? Vote for Aftyn Behn

The reason why so many foreigners pose as MAGA influencers is because the formula is pretty basic. Post: 1. Immigrants cause 90% of our problems. 2. The other 10% are trans people. 3. Trump is the greatest. 4. All Dems are Marxists who hate America. 5. All news is fake.

Bye bye, “DOGE”. It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

Economists and investors are raising concerns about the companies that aren’t part of the AI investment boom — in other words, most businesses in the United States.

Inadequate legal protections against discrimination & harassment lead to more dangerous working conditions for women & gender expansive people. We demand @dol.gov maintain regulatory protections in apprenticeship to ensure safe & equitable workplaces for ALL #WomenInApprenticeship

Yesterday, Homeland Security proposed to repeal the 2022 public charge rule. This would allow officers to arbitrarily deny green cards to immigrants based on their health, economic situation, or potential use of benefits like health care & food assistance. Learn more: www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Last night the longest gov't shutdown in history ended. But the crisis it caused didn’t just happen by chance–it was manufactured.

This MONDAY: ICE out of Child Care and Schools Emergency Call! Nov. 10th at 8pm ET, join us to hear how we can organize to protect our children and care workers/teachers! 👉: bit.ly/ice-OUT

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...

Loan forgivness should NOT be an incentive to join ICE and terrorize our communities. See this new piece from Christian Collins @clasp.org www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

This is NOT okay and flies in the face of decades of shared belief that places that care for children should be safe havens: Child care worker detained by #ICE inside a Chicago day care as children watched 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil... via @19thnews.org

It should go without saying that these violent attacks on immigrant communities are deeply traumatizing for immigrant children. @wendydcervantes.bsky.social, Rebecca Ullrich, and Hannah Matthews wrote about this for @clasp.org in 2018. www.clasp.org/wp-content/u...

Schools should be safe havens for every student. 💙 Find strategies to support immigrant youth & families under threat of deportation with this @aft.org guide from @sharemylesson.bsky.social. 👉 sharemylesson.com/teaching-res... @unitedwedream.org @nilc.org @clasp.org @supportkind.org

[3] We condemn the actions of today. As @wendydcervantes.bsky.social of @clasp.org said in a statement,“We urge policymakers to hold ICE accountable to these harms and ensure places like child care centers, schools, and hospitals remain safe and accessible to all families.”

[1] This morning, federal agents entered a learning center without a warrant and detained a Pre-K teacher in front of the children she cares for. In a video, the woman can be seen telling the agents that she has documentation. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

Nearly a month into the government shutdown, millions of families are paying the price for deliberate policy choices by the Trump Administration and Congress. This is a 🚨manufactured🚨 crisis that’s putting jobs, food, and care at risk.

Grateful for @clasp.org alumni who continue to do good around the country, and help make connections. Spent 3 days in Colorado with my team talking to immigrant parents and child care providers. Heart is tender and full.

New blog post from @americasvoice.bsky.social amplifies the voices of some of the more than 100 U.S. citizen children who have been separated from their parents due to mass deportation. americasvoice.org/blog/the-ame...

There have been strides in paid sick time over the last decade thanks to action at the state and local level, but access remains highly unequal depending on where workers live and how much they are paid. This post by @epi.org breaks it all down https://bit.ly/4n0wlEj

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency. Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops. We can see where this is going.

"Judge blocks shutdown layoffs after finding Trump's actions are likely illegal. The Trump administration is leveraging the shutdown to declare 'the laws don't apply to them anymore,' judge says, adding, 'they can't do that.'" www.govexec.com/management/2...

Breaking: Dept. of Ed. has gutted offices that protect students with disabilities—threatening 50 years of progress under IDEA and Section 504. A coalition of disability, civil rights & education orgs is demanding a reversal of these reckless layoffs. www.aapd.com/department-o...

Today marks day 14 of the ongoing government shutdown, with no clear end in sight. With each day that goes by, children and families' unmet needs mount. www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

CTAN se complace en colaborar con @justiceleaders.bsky.social, National Parents Union y otros colegas en presentar un Carta de Amor para las Familias Inmigrantes. Compartan ampliamente para hacer llegar el mensaje a los padres y madres inmigrantes que ¡les vemos, les escuchamos y nos unimos a ellos!

The federal government has officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a budget. This isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct threat to children, families, and workers nationwide.

It’s official! Michigan home care workers have won their union! This historic win means a better future where care workers get the respect they deserve, and our loved ones can get the care they need. #CareIsEssential

New at PB: Christian Collins of @clasp.org argues that what’s missing from conversations about the “enrollment cliff” is a desire to turn it into an “enrollment shift.”

Our “Higher Ed Under Trump” roundtable continues with this key contribution from Christian Collins at @clasp.org. Yes, the overall college-age population is shrinking, but enrollment needn’t necessarily crater if colleges can recruit and support Black and Hispanic men.

The plan reportedly targets unaccompanied children aged 14 and older in U.S. custody. These are children who came to the U.S. alone or were separated by the U.S. government from their caregiver.

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerted legal service providers serving immigrant children of their plans to incentivize the children to leave the country and abandon their legal rights to seek safety in the United States.

Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywd...

“It’s literally a kid’s worst nightmare having someone come take your parents in the middle of the night,” said @wendydcervantes.bsky.social at @clasp.org . “No matter the outcome, you are turning a kid’s life upside down.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p...

Too often, Black families are torn apart by systems that punish rather than support recovery. Equity means funding treatment that keeps families together. www.clasp.org/blog/familie...

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth. Amid the celebrations, this month marks the passage of a law that will cause great harm for people with disabilities: the budget reconciliation law. I wrote a @clasp.org blog summarizing the ways this new law will harm disabled people: www.clasp.org/blog/july-ma...

The #ChildTaxCredit amount and eligibility rules changed in the budget reconciliation bill. Unfortunately, the credit won't be available for families with the lowest incomes and some immigrant families. Learn 10 things to know about the #CTC in my new @clasp.org blog: www.clasp.org/blog/10-thin...
