Moms don’t like that billions of dollars were pulled out of healthcare to fund human rights abuses and unchecked chaos. Our nation needs immigration reform that balances security and compassion; not cruelty and not cuts to healthcare. #FundHealthCareNotICE #MomSky

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Moms & parents can’t afford Trump’s rising costs. Coffee is up 33%. Vegetables are up 40%. Washing machines cost 12% more. Healthcare & childcare are up. Costs are rising under Trump’s presidency. His policies aren’t working. It’s #Trumpflation.

Tell your U.S. Senators to vote no on the Continuing Resolution
House Republicans passed a CR budget proposal that would cut billions from programs that are the foundation of economic success for moms and families and lets Elon Musk have unchecked power over our country. Tell your Senator to vote NO on the harmful Continuing Resolution and pass a budget that puts American families first.
