Back-to-school jitters hit harder when PTAs have to fill funding gaps. Our kids deserve more than bumper stickers—they deserve fully funded schools.

On Top of All the Back-to-School Jitters
Back-to-school season brings both excitement and anxiety, but this year parents at my child’s school were asked to donate $350 per student—far more than in past years—to cover programs the district do...

You are impact by the pausing of SNAP, even you don’t use it: 1/8 adults and 1/4 kids in America receive SNAP. A one-month pause in SNAP could cause $16 million to vanish from our economy! It hurts not only grocery stores, but the entire supply chain. Pausing SANP will cost EVERYONE.

NOVEMBER 1 is going to be a double whammy.

The end of SNAP benefits will impact millions.

Millions will lose health insurance when enrollment opens and they see the unaffordable price increases.

Congressional Republicans should brace themselves as most will be their constituents.

I'm sure you heard Johnson claim that SNAP is not available during government shutdown. That's a lie. There's a contingency fund they can use. Trump refuses to tap into this fund for political gains. It's wrong. Make your voice heard! #MomsSky #FoodJustice

ICE thrives on fear & lies but the law is clear: no signed warrant, no entry. Across America, people are standing up, filming raids, refusing to open doors, & protecting each other. This isn’t just one city’s fight: it’s everyone’s.
Know your rights. Stay ready. Stand together.

I ❤️ LA Dodgers, especially they host a Dodgers Taiwan Day each year to celebrate my community. I'm 💔 to learn that they are investing in ICE prisons. It's hypocritical to celebrate immigrant communities while prosecuting immigrants. #MarkDropGEO sign.moveon.org/petitions/we...

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

What the hell is happening in America?

I heard people who hate China cheer for this, praising Trump for being tough. But the reality is that Trump threatened Americans with new tariffs and countermeasures. We Americans are the ones who pay!

It’s Banned Books Week! 📚 I’m reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson—one of the most challenged books, according to PEN America. First published in 1999, it’s a modern classic that powerfully reminds us why we must listen to sexual assault survivors. My takeaway? Release the Epstein files. #booksky

We need to stop pretending that Charlie Kirk was committed to free speech. He created professor watchlist, threatening academic staff members who criticized rightist propaganda. He advocated restrictions on what school teachers could teach. That’s not a champion of free speech.
