Incisive piece from @tressiemcphd on the wellness industry & dangers of the MAHA movement:

“They fill the vacuum that’s created when we prioritize individual responsibility over safe, scientifically sound health policy”

#USA support for @Gavi is vital. With US support, we can save over 8 million lives over the next 5 years and give millions of children a better chance at a healthy, prosperous future. But investing in Gavi brings other benefits for our world and the American people. Here’s why:

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Donald Trump’s order dismantling the Department of Education is yet another attack on our children’s future. This isn’t about empowering states—it’s about gutting protections for students, slashing resources for public schools, and abandoning families who rely on federal support as a pathway to prosperity. The Department of Education exists to ensure every child, no matter their zip code, has access to a quality education. Without it, this administration will weaken civil rights enforcement, jeopardize special education funding, and cut off college affordability for millions of our youngest Americans.

We must be clear: This is part of a larger Republican agenda to roll back progress and dismantle the institutions that serve working families. As Trump and Republicans celebrate this reckless move, we will fight back. Every child deserves a champion, and we will not stand by while their futures are put at risk.

Since my stepfather passed away 3 years ago, I’ve found such comfort in returning to his kindness and voice on the page. It’s such an honor to now share him with people who would have otherwise never had a chance to encounter his warmth. ♥️

@MaureenLangloss Oof, sending hugs ❤️ Grief dreams are such an intense manifestation of our brain’s attempt to process the absence of our beloveds. I still have them too, 3+ years after my mom’s passing.

Senior women supporting Harris by a 2-1 margin in Iowa poll is a reminder that it's not just young women who care about abortion.

Over a long life, almost every woman has either experienced a miscarriage or helped a close friend through one. They know how personal this is.
