In Massachusetts, a judge held ICE in contempt for arresting an immigrant during a jury trial. In Wisconsin, Susan Crawford just showed Elon Musk’s money the door. And in DC, Cory Booker swept Strom Thurmond back into the dustbins of history. We need these moments of hope. #MomSky

We are at the precipice… “Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” - John Lewis #MomSky

A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP package of bills for the week just failed because a bipartisan group of Republicans and Dems sank an effort by Speaker Johnson to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents. Rep. Pettersen - “ Don't fuck with moms. “

GOOD TROUBLE IS IN THE HOUSE GOD SPEED SENATOR I HOPE YOU BREAK THE RECORD GO CORY GO 7:19 pm East Coast Thank you for this post @lillianorlando.bsky.social #MomSky

“But her emails” Meanwhile how many federal employees were fired by DOGE for so called performance issues? #momsky

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) fired all staff who oversee contracts with companies that process Medicare claims and pay healthcare providers. Reimbursements could slow to a crawl. Patients doctors, and hospitals will be affected. This is very bad. #ProtectMedicare #MomSky

This invitation is for anyone and everyone who believes in the values of love, community, care, diversity, dignity, respect, safety, and democracy. We hope that includes YOU. ❤️ #momsky

THANK YOU, @booker.senate.gov! Join me in thanking Sen. Booker and his staff for this amazing stand for the American people: www.booker.senate.gov/contact/writ.... #Momsky #HOLDTHEFLOOR

Booker is reading emails from constituents. Story after story about ways Musk’s killing of our government is affecting science, health, and education. He’ll need more content!! So will any other senators who join him. Send them your stories! Link to live: www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

GO Senator Booker!! I hope many other join him! This NOT a time for business as usual. #MomSky

Not only are we hurting vulnerable communities abroad but not helping in devastating natural disasters, but the Trump Administration is yielding global influence to China. tell me how this makes America great again? What am I missing? When is this supposed Golden Age coming? #momsky

Thank you @hillaryclinton.bsky.social for all that you’ve done for women, children, and our country!

The only way to get through this crazy time is in community with other strong moms! Join us to amplify truth, action and care and stand up for one another and our kids! #MomSky

We. Have. No. Kings. As a proud Virginian, I take pride in the motto of the Commonwealth, “Sic semper tyrannis” is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants". In contemporary parlance, we stand up to tyrants. Speak up and stand up for democracy! #momsky

Why we need the #MomSky now!!

So, if you are wondering exactly what MAGA Republicans are planning to take away from us this week. Here's a short video explaining their waste of our tax dollars and the destruction of our rights and country.z #SheShed #MomSky #Voices4Victory

#MomSky

Never underestimate the power of moms. Moms get things done and are fierce advocates for the change we need for the safety, well-being, and quality of life for our children's generation. For our future. Love being part of the #MOMSky community. Join the moms!

Truth. Action. Care. Whether or not you’re a parent, I know so many of you are committed to these values. I see it every day in your posts and protests, as you fight against the cruelty and bad info that surrounds us all. Join us in the #MomSky, and let’s nurture a better world, for ALL of us.

Elie Mystal spitting truth about this authoritarian administration. This is what fascism looks like. #MomSky

What is the #MomSky? We are about TRUTH, ACTION, CARE. We are the moms and family members who believe in community and in caring for one other – and we OPPOSE the dog-eat-dog, every-man-for-himself ethos of the current times. Agree? Drop an I’M IN in the comments! ❤️

Are you a Mom? Are you concerned about your children, your grandchildren, and your families in 2025 America? Would you like to join other concerned Mom's in making our voices heard? @momsrising.org is probably the answer for you. Come join us!💜 go.bsky.app/8qLpzmR #MomSky

I spent my 20s active in the solidarity movement for democracy in #myanmar where it was university students who stood up to the brutal junta. Authoritarians always target universities and it’s happening here. This is not normal. #momsky

The old slogan couldn’t be truer—“don’t agonize—ORGANIZE!” I’m so grateful to have found a supportive and empowered group of fellow moms for democracy in #momsky.

The United States is getting sicker under the Trump administration—denying science and hurting children. This administration and MAGA are a danger to children. #momsky

Goldman raises odds of US recession to 35%, predicts three interest rate cuts​. The brokerage also lowered the world's largest economy's GDP growth forecast for 2025 to 1.5% from 2.0%. #MomSky www.reuters.com/markets/us/g...

My grandparents’ generation proudly fought fascism and believed in defending American democracy. I pledge to do the same. Will you? #momsky

Disappearing students. Dismantling federal agencies. Firing civil servants. None of this is normal. We can do something about it. Join us at #momsky

#momsky is powerful and resisting the march toward authoritarianism in our country. Join us

The Save Act states election officials can face up to 5 years in prison, or sued, if they register a noncitizen or a citizen who did not show proof. Protect your loved ones. #MomSky

“History is not on your side”

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

So proud of South Jersey—my homeland!! #jerseystrong #momsky

Still true a few months later. Pace yourselves. Practice self care. And remember how long a choir can hold a note - a singer in the choir can take a breath while others around them are still singing. 🎶 Remember to breathe 🩷 #MomSky thank you @chadloder.bsky.social

A great meet up of campaign volunteers for @abigailspanberger.com we are so excited to take Virginia back from out of touch Gov Youngkin! Abigail has a strong record of protecting our country, our communities, and VA families. I can’t wait to help get her elected in Nov! #momsky #abigailspanberger

Amidst all the chaos... • Grocery prices are rising • Stock values (401ks) are falling • Musk is trying to strip earned benefits from seniors & veterans

The Trump regime’s flooding the zone tactic is an attempt to distract from #Signalgate & the dismantling of important programs like #socialsecurity. Don’t be distracted-call your elected officials to speak up and sound the alarm. Social Security isn’t an entitlement-we pay into It! #momsky

If you don’t think Meta is shadow banning posts, you’re wrong. FB is currently (& unfortunately) my biggest platform. NO views from a story posted over 10hrs ago re: the FACT of the 3.5% Rule? I’m calling bullshit. Join us on Bluesky where free speech is still “allowed.” #MomSky

If you're someone like myself - white, hetero, natural born American citizen- you have an obligation to divert, obfuscate, or disrupt ICE whenever possible. Fuck them.

A Mom’s place is in the Resistance! Join us!

#protecttranskids where is the humanity? As a Mom, I want all kids to be safe, happy, and able to thrive. The MAGA movement is a danger to children #momsky

Women are caregivers, community leaders, the ones out there in the streets with signs and clipboards fighting the good fight. I'm thinking about this as I follow and share the amazing women on this starter pack. It's time to make more Women's History. Pls follow and share along with me. #MomSky

So it’s ok for Hegseth to compromise national security by using a messaging device for war plans and put service members lives at risk but a student can be disappeared and deported for exercising their First Amendment rights? Make it make sense. #momsky #hegsethmustresign

The 3.5% rule: “no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it during a peak event.” That’s 11 million Americans need to mobilize. LETS GET IT DONE 4.5.25 #MomSky
