The fact that we’re putting service members in harms way without a plan is absolutely unacceptable. Congress needs to step in! Congress needs to do there job!!!

90% of student discrimination and harassment complaints were dismissed last year. Here's why. Students with disabilities and survivors of sexual misconduct can’t rely on the Department of Education — the target of budget cuts and staff reductions — to intervene for them, new reports find.

The Dept of Ed spent $38 MILLION paying attorneys to not enforce civil rights laws.

"...their goal is using Title IX for their own purposes and not to bring justice for these students who have asked for help, which is just appalling.” (Me)

This week I closed out my time at Maternidad La Luz. I am immensely grateful to the families who allowed me into their birthing journey and to the students and midwives who made space for learning and welcomed me into their work.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

🙋‍♀️ this is me. Yes, we bought our forever home at a decent rate. Then was able to refinance at a low rate. We are grateful.

“”They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

This is exactly what RFK Jr wants 😢

Did you recently give birth? Please share your postpartum story. We don't talk enough about the mental health struggles moms often face after giving birth, especially in these tough times. But our stories matter! Please share your postpartum story, to show others that they aren't alone and to educate our leaders.

American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr. HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about “identity-based language” and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

They are not on our side.

I didn’t realize how much school was offsetting the weight of the news until I paused for the holidays.

So I’m picking it back up… just slowing it waaay down.

Yet, the same companies make unsupported marketing claims just as they engage in these unsafe practices - exactly as we've seen during the 2022 formula crisis. Many examples we covered in the Lancet Breastfeeding Series. Same old playbook. www.thelancet.com/series-do/br...

Families deserve a process we can trust. Our babies deserve protection, clarity, and care — not politics, confusion, and misinformation.

We're thrilled MomsRising's Tina Sherman will be speaking at the upcoming Latch On to Success Summit: Business & Marketing Mastery for Birth Pros.

I use it to help weekly menu planning. I hear all the reasons why many don’t like it, but as a busy working mom of 4, it’s been a welcomed time saver.

Needed this night!

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

And continued! Damn!!!

F* yes!

"We moms shouldn’t have to hold the nation together on empty." With list of community resources during government shutdown

Food Support As over 40 million SNAP recipients won't receive their benefits, go to Feeding America's food bank network

Diapers & Baby Supplies Go to National Diaper Bank Network's database of diaper banks to find and distribute free diapers

Rent & Utility Assistance Go to 211.org for essential community services, including support for housing & utilities expenses

Moms shouldn't have to hold the nation together on empty. Yet we are in the middle of a government shutdown that has thrown families into chaos.

Share these resources so families can find the care they deserve! https://www.momsrising.org/blog/community-care-starts-with-us/?source=bsky.mr #MomSky

One of the first questions I get when I share I’m in midwifery school is what pathway I chose and why. Since my day job is fighting against systemic barriers, I knew I needed my training centered in community midwifery. #studentmidwife
