The latest Project 2025 attack is here and it’s targeting preschoolers. We joined leaders from across the Head Start movement, @murray.senate.gov, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, and parents to oppose the changes the Trump administration is making to a critical early childhood education program.

Moderated a great conversation this week on two of my favorite things: Women's sports and unions 💜 Thanks to @sportico.bsky.social for having me and to Terri Carmichael Jackson, Jessica Caggiano & Brianna Turner for a great chat on @wnba.com's groundbreaking union contract + where we go from here.

‘She never retreated’: Women of color say Gloria Steinem leaves a legacy of inclusive feminism

The feminist icon brought together diverse groups and understood the importance of linking arms with Black women in the fight for equality.

“We are really in a bigger cultural fight about who we are going to be as a nation and what women's role will be." Read more from our CEO @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social in @apnews.com on Gloria Steinem's legacy:

Gloria Steinem lived to see a powerful backlash against her vision of feminism

It was the fight for abortion rights that launched Gloria Steinem into feminism. The idea that women couldn’t reach equality without the ability to decide whether or when to have children was central ...

Still thinking about our powerful conversation on Martha’s Vineyard about building a better future for women and girls, in sports and beyond. Terri Carmichael Jackson's leadership on the WNBPA’s groundbreaking CBA shows what’s possible when women know their value, stand together and build power.

I am sending my support and solidarity to Congresswoman LaMonica McIver as she continues to fight the Trump administration's chilling attacks on her. This administration fears Black women, and they have shown they will go to terrifying lengths to silence us.

Every workplace, including Congress, should be a place where staff can work without fear of violence and harassment. Congressional leadership needs to ensure that the staff working hard in their halls can do so with safety and dignity.

The recent allegations against Representative Jimmy Gomez are disturbing and must be taken seriously. The DWC has been working tirelessly to address the pervasive sexual misconduct on the Hill and we will continue to work to make Congress a better and safer environment for women staffers.

Still thinking about WNBA All-Star weekend! Honored to join PeacePlayers, the @onecampaign.bsky.social, and Noah's Arc Foundation for an unforgettable celebration of the @wnba.com and our shared fight to champion women and girls in sports.

The allegations of domestic violence & child abuse against Rep. Max Miller demand immediate action. This kind of abuse isn't just a private "family matter"—and no amount of shaming or blaming make it less serious. His response to these very serious allegations make clear that he is not fit to serve.

Max Miller, Accused of Abuse, Is Not Stepping Aside. Here’s What We Know.

The Ohio Republican who is seeking a third term defiantly denied domestic abuse allegations ahead of a deadline to replace him on the ballot.

I was so happy to be in Virginia yesterday witnessing Governor @abigailspanberger.com sign the first comprehensive paid family medical leave law in the south! What a difference it makes to have lawmakers in touch with the realities of workers and families.

I am honored to be receiving the 2026 Woman of Vision Award from @msfoundation.bsky.social this evening, and the timing couldn’t feel more urgent.

We have seen consequences for powerful men over the last weeks that go to show that powerful movements don’t end, they echo, writes @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social of @nwlc.org.

No, #MeToo Isn’t Over

Even in Trump’s America, where lawlessness can feel like the norm, survivors are here, demanding that individuals and institutions treat sexual violence with the seriousness it deserves.

commondreams.org

Sexual harassment & assault have no place in any workplace, and we deserve leaders who uphold this basic principle. Accountability cannot be selective. These allegations, and the pattern they are potentially revealing in Congress, must be taken seriously.

“If you were talking about any other employment setting... you would wonder if you had a pattern.” @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social went on @democracynow.org to discuss the recent resignations of representatives Swalwell & Gonzales amidst sexual assault allegations—and why the story is far from over.

These are the consequences of a government that stokes fear, discrimination, and sanctions violence. Our thoughts are with the family of the woman murdered by ICE agents today, and all those who have lost their lives because of this cruel and careless administration.

Sending political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. We must not allow a weaponized DOJ to be the norm. Thank you @replamonica.bsky.social for continuing to fight against this administration’s efforts to scare and silence anyone who dissents.

A VA spokesperson confirmed to MS NOW that the ban was in place following a Department of Justice memo issued last week.

The Trump administration is hoping you will miss this quiet effort at the VA to ban abortion.

NEW: The Trump admin quietly implemented a new policy that essentially bans abortion at VA facilities—including in cases of rape or serious health risk—confirming what we've always known: Trump's promise to leave abortion to the states was a lie.

For her courage and leadership defending her community, her constituents, and our democracy, she is attacked and dehumanized by the most powerful man in the world. This is right out of the authoritarian's playbook. It is as disgusting as it is anti-democratic. This is what fascism looks like.
