Today in my class we were talking about Earth Day and the importance of always taking care of our planet.

A 6 year old boy raised his hand and said “The continents are mad right now, but the Earth needs peace”

I wish you all a peaceful night 🕊️

Take care 🩵✌️

Red States Thought They Could Stop Abortions. They Ended Up Stopping Only the Lifesaving Ones. Abortion bans are failing.

Overall abortion rates have increased since Dobbs, but abortions for medical reasons have become more difficult to access. Horror stories of women dying, nearly dying, or birthing dying children have been reported on a regular basis in states with abortion bans.

Ordered free, still locked up: Judges fume as Trump administration holds ICE detainees A legal maneuver once reserved for death row inmates and suspected terrorists has become the only recourse for immigrant detainees, who have flooded federal courts in California with thousands of peti...

tRump’s DOJ defies federal judges, keeping immigrants locked up even after courts ordered them freed on habeas corpus. Judges fume & impose sanctions, and declare a “judicial emergency” as thousands sit in detention despite winning their cases.
Pure contempt for the rule of law.

Costs to Colorado of mass incarceration are too great | Colorado Newsline Instead of locking up ever more Coloradans, state lawmakers should put more resources toward crime prevention.

Commentary: Expanding Colorado prisons are costly not only in state treasure but also in moral standing. A society’s incarceration rate is directly proportional to its failure to support its members, and state leaders should enact more policies that reduce the need for prisons.

Black Maternal Health Week Isn’t Complete Without Our Abortion Stories | Essence This Black Maternal Health Week, our abortion stories are essential—without them, neither progress nor celebration is complete.

Abortion care is “an integral part of holistic maternity care” that empowers Black women and birthing people as they make decisions in pregnancy. Yet abortion stories remain largely absent from public discussions of maternal health and wellness.

Nice way to beautify buildings.

Existential threat? Why dont we release children in detention centers and find homes for the millions of children waiting to be adopted? What world is she living in?

I’ve introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth for violating his oath, endangering U.S. servicemembers, and committing war crimes, including attacks on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Only Congress can declare war; his actions demand immediate removal.

On Capitol Hill today, our volunteers showed up at a Senate hearing as leaders of gun extremist groups argued for rolling back life-saving gun safety laws.

Whenever our progress is threatened, we are in the room.

We may not see it in the headlines as frequently, but ICE continues to target, terrorize, and detain our neighbors and our communities. Take action this Passover: Tell Congress to stop funding ICE. Add your voice at ncjw.org/stopICE

ICYMI: “The federal government plans to automatically register eligible men for the military draft, according to a proposed rule published last week.” 🤔 nypost.com/2026/04/08/u...

So we can automatically register them for the draft, but we can’t register them to vote?

So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week?

Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.

Colorado has been in high alert since the Marshall fire. American Red Cross chapters in Colorado continue to focus on increasing volunteerism.

When Leadership Fails, Silence Is Not an Option When preparedness is weakened, lives are at risk—and action becomes essential.

Emergency management programs that protect communities are at risk.

Proposed cuts to FEMA preparedness grants would weaken how we prepare for disasters—and that has real consequences for lives and communities.

Trump budget calls for another sharp cut to NIH It shows how biomedical research remains a lightning rod for criticism from the right.

I have battled spine disease since age 15. I rely on NIH studies related to my condition.

I found out today that I have two fractured vertebrae with ruptured disks & bone marrow leaking. The pain is excruciating.

Disabled people depend upon medical research.

This is not who we should be—but ICE is so desperate for stats they detain a woman who is legally applying for her green card, a scholarship college student who teaches Sunday School. Trump would have us believe he’s taking criminal aliens off the streets. It’s a lie www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Here's a Challenge I'd like to issue to all Americans:

At least once per year (or once a month in our crazy times), pledge to READ THE CONSTITUTION front to back.

It's not War & Peace...but it decides war and peace.

Across the US, health care facilities and providers are refusing to give patients care, information, and referrals based on personal objections rather than patient needs. These "refusal laws" often result in harm to patients.
