Kicked off our summer themed prehistoric week at the @thefossilpark where we got to dig up 66 million year old fossils!

Spiers called it.

Welcome to The Bump Equity Project Hi. I’m so glad you’re here! Bump Equity was born at the intersection of advocacy and the sacred work of supporting birthing families. For years, I held space for families as a birth doula. More recen...

Entering my student midwife era.

Noooo!!!! I loved it!!!

I had to become “verified” to get real
human support to fix my Meta access. It was a pain and while it’s easy for some to stay off, I use Facebook for work.

AAP will continue to publish its own vaccine recommendations after CDC advisers sow distrust The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices plans to form a work group to review child and adolescent immunization schedules despite them undergoing constant review in real time.

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct

The president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Susan J. Kressly, said "creation of federal immunization policy is ‘no longer a credible process.’”

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for working to stop the Republican Big Bad Betrayal Bill — and for meeting with @momsrising.org volunteers who created a buzz delivering stories about how cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will sting families & our economy. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicad #StopTheBigBadBEEtrayalBill

GOP senators say $15 billion hospital fund not enough Susan Collins, Roger Marshall and other senators say it will take more than that to offset Medicaid cuts.

Republicans cutting nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid and then offering a $15 billion rural hospital fund, perfect, no notes

Grateful to have spent the last two days with @MomsRising on Capitol Hill creating a buzz 🐝 and raising our voices about how the budget bill threatens health care for moms, babies, and families. #MaternalJustice #MomSky

Couldn’t think of a better way to mark the anniversary of Dobb’s than with mothers sharing their reproductive health stories. #momsky

Officials Concede They Don’t Know the Fate of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile

“…senior officials conceding they did not know the fate of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium.”

The incompetence. The US has embarked upon military action with complete incompetence.

We don’t have the answers. It didn’t have to be this way.

Once again, how does this fit into the MAHA agenda?
RFK Jr’s whole shtick is Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They need only healthier food and fewer environmental toxins. Meanwhile the administration is reducing nutritional assistance and increasing environmental toxins.

Opinion | Instead of defending budget bill, GOP touts one that doesn’t exist Republicans have resorted to fabrication because most voters reject their bill’s regressive measures.

If Republicans stand behind their phenomenally unpopular and regressive budget bill, they should defend it on the merits.
Instead they're touting legislation that doesn't exist -- a fantasy bill that somehow doesn't widen deficits, purge people from Medicaid, or give its biggest benefits to the rich

Kicking off summer with conference call Monday by the lake because school’s out, life is full & the work still matters. Grateful for the flexibility to hold space for both movement-building & motherhood all in one view.

I’m so confused. Everything I’ve seen yesterday it doesn’t look like the soldiers are marching in formation. As an army brat, I feel like I’ve seen my fair share of marching and this just seemed too relaxed. I need someone who’s served it weigh in?

Also Happy 250th Birthday Army!!

This needs as much coverage as protests or ICE raids. Los Angelenos FTW. ❤️🙌

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

He’s actively trying to provoke - pure and simple authoritarianism.

This!!!!

While the memes have been fun - don’t let this distract you from the CBO Report and the Republicans trying to take healthcare away from millions of people.

A technique with a storied history. During Mao's Great Leap forward, his propagandists hailed one fantastical harvest after another, calling them “Sputnik harvests,” on par with the success of the Soviet satellite.

Trump officials delayed farm trade report over deficit forecast Administration officials blocked publication of written analysis that normally accompanies the report because they disliked what it said about the deficit.

This is very bad

Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

I don't know whether Elon v Trump is real or going anywhere. But both have real weapons to use which they haven't. Elon can spend money pumping up resistance to the big beautiful bill. Trump can start yanking the contracts Elon gave himself running doge. Until those things happen, meh.
