Ahead of the final vote on the Republicans' Big Bad Betrayal Bill, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social gave a historic and record-breaking speech—including reading over a dozen stories from MomsRising members—to ensure his colleagues and the public understood the impact of this bill on families.

Reading The Nowhere Girls with my book club this month. Three teens rise up against rape culture at their school—and face backlash for it. Fiction, yes, but let’s hope real-life nowhere girls spark change too.

Terrifying. Disgusting. A loaded gun was brought into my daughters' school 2 yrs ago, we need to actually #protectourchildren not make them unsafe

How much more lethal would a mass shooting be if the shooter could hide the sound of gunfire?

How much more armed crime if the sound of gunfire could be hidden?

And this bill takes away health care at the same time it increases gun violence. Disgusting.

It’s National Gun Violence Awareness Month. Are you aware that more gun violence is baked into the “big, beautiful (betrayal) bill”? It deregulates silencers while cutting health care! Tell U.S. Senators to vote NO. #MomSky

Trump has manufactured a national crisis, again. First, the January 6 insurrection. Now, by seizing control of a state’s National Guard without its consent and placing Marines on standby.

Trump administration to cancel $1bn in Biden-era school mental health grants.

Funding will not be continued next year after bill signed in 2022 helped schools hire more mental health workers.

So far this year, there have been 884 cases of measles, with 3 deaths.

Now, the CDC has scrapped plans to release information stating that those living in the surrounding areas of outbreaks are at high risk of infection if they've not been vaccinated.

Thank you, @bradleywhitford.bsky.social, for these wise words: “Despair is a luxury our children can’t afford, and action is the antidote to despair, and we need to be the change.”

American women are in severe danger. We have to be actionable. Our children are counting on us.

I honestly would not have a social media presence if I opposed Trump and wasn’t a citizen of the United States.

It’s too much of a risk to my family and friends.

In before someone says "they should speak English"

Have YOU ever learned another language. It takes YEARS to sound proficient let alone understand nuances and legalise.

Help tutor English language learners, you'll see how hard it is

The regime gave migrants held in TX an English-only notice w/o info re their rights & tried to spirit them away 24hrs later.

The ACLU is urging SCOTUS to maintain their Sat morning block.

Has there been enough time to weigh your conscience now, Alito?

Venezuelan migrants were set for deportation without judicial review, lawyers tell US Supreme Court

President Donald Trump's administration was prepared to carry out deportations of dozens of Venezuelan migrants detained in Texas under a 1798 law historically used only during wartime without judicial review and contrary to the U.S. Supreme Court's prior orders, lawyers told the justices Monday.
