Let's get that same kind of effort galvanized behind Black women who lost their jobs this year!

NOTE: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. white men gained 365,000

ICE just got a 265% detention funding boost.

Palantir software is being used to create the federal government’s first national citizenship data bank.

The Trump regime is attacking naturalized citizens and birthright citizenship.

Be warned — Trump’s police state is here.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs.

This is Project 2025 in action.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

I hope my Republican colleagues will listen to their constituents and vote against this obscene legislation, which is a massive wealth transfer to the very wealthy from the working class.

If it was not clear before, it is undeniable now: the President, Congress, and Supreme Court no longer support and defend the Constitution.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled public schools must allow opt-outs from any lesson parents believe will interfere with their child's religious development, including LGBTQ-themed materials.

This will make it difficult for public schools to teach lessons that may trigger religious objections.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on.

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident:

"I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection' Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer.

We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

Overnight, House Republicans passed a budget that would give huge tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

Now, it's on to the Senate.

Call your senators and demand they do everything in their power to stop this theft: 202-224-3121

This should terrify all of us. We need to get louder.

Graphic: As many as 69 million American women lack access to valid birth certificates

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Thank you for the passion and speaking up for the People.

That is so awesome!!

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding.

Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

‎5 Calls: Contact Your Congress ‎**As seen on MSNBC...**

Was complaining about [gestures broadly] in the family chat and my brother, a reliably warm, sunny person, said “you know, whenever I start to feel bad about circumstances beyond my control, I just take a moment to yell at my senator.” Then he shared this app apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Measles vaccines, the need for boosters, and what to know given spikes in cases nationwide.

We covered this topic back in the fall and resharing the segment here. Also, sharing a few bullets on Measles boosters:

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Yup, absolutely 🤦‍♀️

What action is being taken by our elected officials in Congress? Our data has been compromised as a nation. What actions are you all taking?

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

So how’s it going so far?

Strategies like CUBES aren’t necessarily designed for reading comprehension of word problems. The strategy can often mislead students versus reading for understanding. Three Reads and only Three Reads for my students. Check out Routines for Reasoning or Stanford Math Language Routines for the why.

The women we love, our mothers, sisters, wives, friends. We have to KEEP fighting to codify Roe. Our kids in schools don't deserve active shooter drills. Keeping health care affordable. We can't let these issues become an after thought. We have to keep fighting. No matter what. Love most of y'all. 🫶🏽

YouTube video by ABC News FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden's farewell address to the nation
