This moment belongs to survivors. Their voices matter. Their truth matters. We believe them—always—and they deserve justice to ensure that no one is above the law. newrepublic.com/post/204717/...

@cbsnews.com Want to know what failed (and continues to fail) women? Governments did. Corporations did. Lawmakers did. Courts did. Patriarchy did. Media did—by asking absurd questions like this instead of holding power systems accountable. Feminism is the reason we can name the harm & demand better.

Pete Hegseth has got to go.

He has always been a racist, sexist transphobe — but now, it's been made clear that he is responsible for the illegal boat strikes that killed helpless civilians at sea who had not been charged or convicted of any crime. That is murder.

Yesterday, 33 advocates from across the country joined us on Capitol Hill to urge lawmakers to prioritize families, children, and early educators. With rising child care costs, low pay for educators, and threats to Medicaid and SNAP, robust federal investment in child care is more urgent than ever.

NEW: ICE pepper sprayed Rep. Grijalva just for asking questions as a member of Congress. ICE continues to make clear that they will brutalize elected officials, protestors & anyone daring to advocate for those they're targeting—& we know what they do to the people they kidnap is even more inhumane.

Since day one of the Trump administration, we've kept our promise to never back down, never give up, and never stop fighting for the better future for women and girls. But we can't do any of it without your support.

It never gets any easier to talk about, but abortion bans are death sentences. We mean that literally.

This week, we learned that a woman named Tierra Walker has joined the list of people who should still be alive today—and would be if not for the cruel and inhumane abortion bans where they live.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. On this day of mourning, our hearts are with the loved ones of trans people taken from us this year. As our government normalizes transphobia, our opposition must be crystal clear. To our trans community: We will not stop fighting alongside you.

Today is Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, which falls within Native American Heritage Month. As we honor the culture and contributions of Indigenous communities, we must also acknowledge the economic inequalities that Native women continue to face.

The same voices opposing abortion are ALSO targeting birth control access. But we are NOT backing down. Use #ThxBirthControl Day to share your stories and remind everyone why access is so essential 🙌

It’s not too late—we need to put pressure on these senators to fight for what’s right and PROTECT the 22 million Americans facing unaffordable health care costs. Text SHUTDOWN to 32434 to get directly connected to your senators.
November 10, 2025 at 9:00 PM
URGENT: These senators just caved to Trump and advanced a measure that would leave 22 million Americans with astronomically high health care premiums. They know that this bill means millions of people will choose to go without health insurance, because they can’t afford it.

BREAKING: SCOTUS continues to bend the rule of law for Trump's fascist attacks, now by clearing the way for Trump's transphobic passport policy to resume.

This policy has nothing to do with security—it's simply another way for this administration to attack those it hates.

Checking in on the White House on day 37 of the longest government shutdown ever...

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

Attorney General Letitia James has spent her career fighting for truth, justice, and the people.

Now, she’s being targeted for doing exactly that.

We see her. We are in solidarity with her. We will not be intimidated. #ProtectBlackWomen

Trump sent troops from the National Guard to Chicago days ago, and they have unleashed havoc on the city. Troops have thrown gas canisters at protesters, deployed tear gas on streets w/ no warning, and raided apartments in the middle of the night, zip-tying children & separating them from families.
October 6, 2025 at 9:05 PM
THESE ARE THE SENATORS THAT SUPPORT THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN. Trump and congressional republicans are pushing a bill that makes health care premiums higher, kicks people off of their insurance, and keeps cuts to Medicaid coverage. They're trying to steal from us to give more tax cuts to billionaires.

BREAKING: After a week of protests, Disney announced that Jimmy Kimmel will return to air.

This is why we fight. And this is why we must continue to fight, every time this authoritarian government attempts to destroy our freedoms. When we refuse to back down, our collective power can change things.
