Spotlight on… Rosie’s Place! Started in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the US, today it is so much more. It is a safe haven for #LGBTQIA+ women. It has no government funding so it has an extra layer of protection from #MAGA. Know another agency w/o gov funding? Share! www.rosiesplace.org

I am having a hard time #coping with our country. #selfcare has never been more essential. REAL self-care, not the #whitewashed capitalist version. The #blackpanthers brought self-care into public discourse as a means of #survival. #blackhistorymonth www.teenvogue.com/story/the-ra...

When I heard of the #fundingfreeze, I thought of my past work in #domesticviolence programs. DV programs are inclusive based on the fundamental principle that safety has no eligibility criteria. This is the impact of the threatened freeze on those programs. 19thnews.org/2025/02/trum...

Almost 10 years ago, a resplendent White House. Given where we are now, this image feels impossibly far away. A fever dream, almost. But our work now is to reject the harm that is coming from this administration. Fight for the safety of all. And create a world where this picture can happen again.

When your kid is still recovering from a virus and isn’t up for going out to play in the snow, you bring the snow in and make a mini snowman! ☃️ #indoorsnowplay #indoorsnowman #parenting-whateverittakes

It’s black history month and this year I went to see how the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond celebrates this month. I am forever grateful for the work of PISAB. Check them out and do one of their trainings! #blackhistorymonth #pisab pisab.org/dorothy-stone/

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

Exposing children at an early age to the beauty of inclusivity is a great way to ensure our young ones grow into adults that embrace diversity. Here are some books we recommend! Read more at www.disabilityscoop.com #universalchangingstation #disabilityawareness #inclusivity

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Our leaders are willing to put Americans in danger to save a buck for billionaire tax cuts. Disgusting.

“‘I was picking berries in the field before we had child labor laws…’” #richmccormick says in defense of ending free lunch at school. He is advocating FOR the exploitation of low-income children, plain & simple. #thisismaga #rejectmaga #protectkidsinstead www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

The #fundingfreeze is Trump to a T(rump). His chaos impacts people’s health, livelihoods & lives. But never his. If you need childcare or to see a doctor, you don’t have time for temporary pauses or press secretaries saying “I’ll check.” This is his vision for the US - getting his way, at all costs.

I just shared in my intro that I have 2 cats. Unfortunately it’s with a heavy, paw-printed heart I share that we said bye to one cat last night, Woodstock. He was diagnosed with cancer 6 weeks ago and did not respond to treatment. I hope wherever he is, he’s feeling the breeze of a warm fall day.

My ❤️ is with those at the US-Mexico border (& elsewhere) trying to come or stay in the US. The US has contributed to people’s need to flee their countries worldwide, see article below re: Central America. #standwithimmigrants #immigrants #nohumanisillegal jsri.msu.edu/publications...
