“The meeting will have a written recap sent out afterward as it will not be streamed live or recorded.”

After a full zoom pandemic you can’t record a meeting for staff unable to attend a limited seating venue??? Do. Better.

Palestinian children are the future. That’s why Israel is killing them The young inherited from past generations a love of the land, preserving the dream of return - and for that, they must be eliminated

Israel has killed over 18,000 children in Gaza in 17+ months. In the West Bank, it abducts hundreds of Palestinian children and holds them captive in torture camps.

Israel systematically targets children to destroy the future- this is genocide.

Let’s make this CRYSTAL clear: If you don’t own your own body, YOU ARE NOT FREE. The fight for reproductive rights is nothing less than existential.

Slashing Medicaid while forcing birth is a maternal health disaster in the making Proposed Medicaid cuts will have ripple effects across society, worsening our maternal health crisis

The current budget proposal includes slashing 🚨$880 billion🚨 from Medicaid—a devastating blow to maternal health. Medicaid covers nearly 42% of births in the U.S. Cutting it would leave millions of parents without essential care. We CANNOT let this happen. #HandsOffMedicaid

The settler colonizers never
stopped attacking Palestinians at any point during the ceasefire. Yesterday, however, they escalated their massacre to such an extent that the unilateral breach of the ceasefire is undeniable. Over 450 Palestinians have been killed overnight.

The CDC also shuttered its Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) without public notice and quietly removed its webpage on "Maternal Mortality Reports and Articles" earlier this month.

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration. Tracy Barbutes/Special to the Chronicle

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

DOGE’s Millions: As Musk and Trump Gut Government, Their Ax-Cutting Agency Gets Cash Infusion The Department of Government Efficiency is funded — and acts — like a federal agency. But the White House has shielded DOGE from the rules that govern such agencies, ProPublica found as it examines th...

Funding for DOGE has reached $40 million. Elon Musk's corrupt and illegal maneuvers are costing Americans huge sums as he exaggerates "savings" and cuts funding to crucial services.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has announced that it will kill Medicare coverage of most telehealth services on April 1st.

Just a little anxious frog for you

Some of Trump's most dangerous nominees (Robert Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard) are just days away from a Senate confirmation vote. That means your senators need to hear from you ASAP — and we've made it easy to get in touch with them: www.nixthenoms.com/?...

This’ll make work suck if it proves to be legal.

FCC Investigates SF Radio Station for ICE Reporting, Sparking Press Freedom Fears | KQED Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr said the agency is investigating San Francisco-based KCBS for its coverage of immigration enforcement actions in San José.

Have a Republican member of Congress who has pretended to care about free speech over the past few years? Give them a call and ask them what the hell they have to say about this. www.kqed.org/news/1202597...

Republican senators who spent the entire election distancing themselves from Project 2025 just voted to put its author in one of the most powerful positions in government.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Committee punts on Kash Patel vote as Democrats keep up the pressure It's not unusual for the Senate Judiciary Committee to delay votes a week, but Democrats made a show of it in opposition to President Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI.

YES. Being in the minority means Dems can’t block Trump’s noms. But they can DELAY & use every extra moment to tell the public why noms like Patel are so dangerous to our democracy.

That’s what activists have been demanding & it's what Judiciary Cmte Dems did today. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Repro Red Flags: Agency Watch - Center for Reproductive Rights Donald Trump has already begun nominating anti-reproductive rights officials to lead federal agencies that directly impact access to reproductive health

🚩 President Trump has nominated a slew of anti-rights officials to lead federal agencies that directly impact access to reproductive care—including abortion, birth control, IVF & maternal health care.

See these nominees’ scary repro records using our new tool, Repro Red Flags: Agency Watch.

Trump order recognizes only two sexes. Advocates call it 'cruel,' 'lawless.' Trump's Inauguration Day executive order declared there are just two sexes. Now, 170 groups say that endangers transgender, others.

We joined @nwlc.org and 170 organizations to condemn Trump's cruel and lawless anti-trans executive order. This order doesn't “protect” women from any real threat, but actively endangers all women.

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,

Rainy days and regrouping to continue the resistance.
