For all who mother in every way, in every form. For those who mother as mentors, caregivers, and protectors. For those of us who are our own mothers.
And for our mothers — who have sacrificed, struggled, and loved beyond measure.
You are #compassion in action.

Footage's @kaeglinton.bsky.social calls for compassion in policy making. "Compassion bridges our shared humanity, deepens connections, and profoundly impacts...health. Often dismissed as idealistic, compassion is...a necessary force for advancing global policy frameworks."

Who are we turning into as a country?
If these were dogs we would be outraged
But, we’re told these people are criminals to justify our cruelty towards them?
This is not the country I grew up in…is it yours?

Any academy holding their annual conferences in America 🇺🇸 need to offer a remote option for the foreseeable future. It is unreasonable to ask foreign scholars to risk detainment. Unconscionable #academicsky

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Trump turned the DOJ into his personal propaganda stage, ranting about basketball, bacon prices, and Hunter Biden’s laptop while calling prosecutors “scum” and judges “corrupt.” It wasn’t a speech—it was a fascist tantrum, a full desecration of justice. Even Jamie Raskin was stunned.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.
