The response to our first feature Take Me Home at Sundance and (soon) Berlinale has been overwhelming.

This is the culmination of 15 years of work in the entertainment space. So proud of our team and especially my colleague Lydia Storie.

A strong piece from @citizencohn.bsky.social @thebulwark.com on what terminating temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants will mean for long-term care and the families who rely on it.

New Yorkers built a movement around the belief that every family should be able to afford a dignified life. Today, as Governor Kathy Hochul and I mark our commitment to universal childcare, we're proving that a movement of the people can transform how government serves the people.

Universal child care is coming to New York.

@bookersquared.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask members of Congress: why don’t they fix the health care affordability crisis? Here's what they had to say. #justfixit

YouTube video by Senator Andy Kim My Dad’s Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Becoming a Caregiver

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.

Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.

I hope you’ll join me.

A collage of photos of medically complex and disabled children holding up hand-decorated letters that spell out “THANK YOU ALICE!” Each child holds one letter, and many appear to have disabilities or use mobility devices. The background fades from blue to white, with the “Little Lobbyists” logo and the tagline “Advocating for Kids with Complex Medical Needs & Disabilities” at the bottom.

Today, Little Lobbyists honors #AliceWong, a ferocious advocate for disability justice and disability culture-maker who died on November 14 at the age of 51. Alice was a larger-than-life figure in the disability community and a friend to Little Lobbyists

Email that reads “Hi! thank you so much for your message. I’m #outofofficeforcare because I need to pick up my kid from school, and my mother-in-law is in memory care and needs my support, and it’s also getting colder and I’m pretty tired. I’ll return your message when all Americans have guaranteed paid family and medical leave - so we can work and care for ourselves & our loved ones with dignity.”

Today I’m #OutofOfficeforCare with @paidleaveforall.bsky.social. Because #PaidLeaveforAll should be a guarantee.

Imagine watching your beloved colleague be taken out of the blue. Imagine what the children are feeling after seeing their beloved caregiver taken. This is what is happening, right here & right now in our country.

This video is devastating. Imagine dropping your child off at daycare, only to learn that ICE took a beloved caregiver in front of the children minutes after. Imagine going to work to care for beloved children, only to be ripped away from them and your own family by ICE.

The taking of neighbors in communities around the country is so horrific.

And, right here - how can anyone justify this - violently taking a child care teacher out of her classroom?

Enraging is too weak a word to describe this.

ICE arrests Chicago man whose teenage daughter is fighting cancer: ‘He belongs with her’ Ofelia Torres has spent almost every day of the past month at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where the 16-year-old Lake View High School student is fighting cancer.

Thinking about Ofelia & Ruben today. A 16 year old with stage 4 cancer and her father & caregiver, kidnapped by ICE when his daughter needs him most.

It’s everyday people and everyday acts of courage who will eventually change everything.

7 million of us showed up on Saturday. Let the feeling of it be a reminder. Our care is greater than their cruelty. And let’s keep going. #nokings

Check out my conversation with @pocan.house.gov on the domestic workers movement, care, Medicaid & more. Thank you for having me, Congressman!

Trump Has Successfully Tanked the American Labor Market The latest weak jobs report is the culmination of Donald Trump’s impulsive approach to economic policymaking.

“Trump Has Successfully Tanked the American Labor Market:The president’s disastrous tariffs and mass deportation campaign are wrecking the economy” Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... #Trumpflation

Employers Added Nearly a Million Fewer Jobs Than Believed, Data Shows

Americans are getting squeezed from both sides of the Trump economy. #Trumpflation is driving up costs on one side and job losses all from the chaos of these last nine months on the other. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

Moms know when kids try to hide not eating veggies; and know when Trump is trying to hide what’s really happening with our economy: Prices & unemployment are rising. Help spread the truth: *Take a pic of price tag or bill that makes you gasp & share it with #Trumpflation it to help create change.

Trump broke his campaign promises: Hardworking moms and families can't afford the rising costs of housing, healthcare, childcare, food, diapers, eldercare, and utilities, which are getting higher & higher under Trump and Republican leadership. Stop #Trumpflation

Speaker Johnson pushed Medicaid cuts. His constituents worry about their own coverage In Mike Johnson's district, not only could thousands of Louisianians lose coverage, health centers are bracing for a financial hit. They're hoping for additional funding to make up for Medicaid cuts.

"I would actually ask [Speaker Johnson]: 'What's the reason you're cutting Medicaid,' Collins said, ‘and hurting a lot of people in this city?’”
