Harmeet Dhillon has meticulously built her brand as an anti-woke cultural warrior—and she's now Trump's pick to lead DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.  We broke down just how wholly unqualified she is.

Whether you’re looking for a movie to transport you out of the onslaught of attacks on women and LGBTQI+ people, or films to help you understand it all, we’ve got Oscar-nominated recommendations for you.

The White House is yet again attacking trans people under the guise of "protecting women". This is a disgraceful perversion of the Office on Women's Health. www.advocate.com/politics/tru...

I am so excited for the kickoff of the Frost Fatales 2025 Ambassador Program! I will be fundraising Saturday from 2–6 PM EST for @nwlc.org, while trying to Gold as many UFO50 games as possible. Add bingo objectives and cherries, maybe even make me play Celeste again?? See ya'll this weekend!! 💜💛

Undermining Title IX, again. Scrapping rules that ensured fair NIL pay for athletes across gender lines sends a clear message: revenue matters more than equality. Women’s sports deserve more than crumbs—let’s fight for equity, not erase it.

Trump released an executive order claiming to be in support of IVF—here's why that's yet another lie:

All across the country, states are fighting back against Trump and his dangerous attacks. Communities are organizing and working with governors and state legislators to ensure that civil rights and democracy remain strong in their states. Let's get into it 🧵

In honor of #LoveIsBlind being back, we're taking a look back at one of the show's villains: Ramses, one of our least-favorite types of "progressive" men. 

“The attorney general’s first duty is to the Constitution and their client is the American people, not the president. President Trump wants to change that.” —Alison Gill, our director of Nominations and Democracy. More on Attorney General Pam Bondi's allegiance to Trump.

The Department of Education houses a variety of programs that promote access to education for all students—dismantling it would be disastrous for educational equity across the nation.

The 2025 tax and budget debate will test our country’s values and priorities. If ever there was a moment for groups across a wide diversity of causes to join forces, it is now.

Yes, the White House actually posted this. Want to send a valentine back to Trump? We've got you: NWLC.org/vday

Black History Month 🤝 Valentine's Day For this collaboration of our dreams, we put together our favorite Black love songs—and defended our choices! Read our picks, then listen to our curated Spotify playlist featuring them all!

The pausing of some sexual assault prevention training programs is dangerous and irresponsible—and needs to be fully investigated. Thank you to @sarajacobs.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov for leading this effort. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Is the unelected bureaucrat in the room with us?

In 2018, the Trump administration tried to impose Medicaid "work requirements". Despite the fact that the majority of non-elderly Medicaid adults work, GOP lawmakers continue pushing these barriers to this day—prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires over families in need.

The ABA supports the rule of law. Read full message: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

What you're describing is a dictatorship. But you know that. And it's clear you will lie about anything—including the courts' powers—in order to suck up to billionaires and Trump while they launch a coup of our government.

“This is a moment that calls for active engagement. Take a deep breath and ask: What kind of country do we want to live in? And then fight for it.”

This morning, at each Congressional office on Capitol Hill, their copy of the Washington Post was delivered with our message — and more than 5,000 of your signatures — front and center: Don't back down. We're demanding REAL action, because our freedoms depend on it.

BREAKING: Russell Vought, the chief architect of Project 2025, has now been installed to lead one of our nation’s most powerful agencies. He now wields the power to enforce this dangerous agenda, with devastating consequences for women & families. We'll be ready to fight him every step of the way.

New data from us: Families need $180,000 a year to afford child care. If Trump and conservatives in Congress were pro-family, they’d invest in care—not illegally freeze federal funding across programs, dismantle public programs, and push tax cuts for billionaires. nwlc.org/resource/chi...

HOLD THE LINE: Using every possible hour, Senate Democrats held the floor all night to block the confirmation of Russell Vought, a key architect of Project 2025 & Trump's dangerous pick to lead the Office of Management & Budget. Tell your senators to vote NO on Vought: act.nwlc.org/a/vought-sen...

We joined @publiccitizen.bsky.social and nearly 120 other organizations, to demand that Congress do its job and swiftly investigate Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) lawless takeover of the federal government.
