Pregnancy is already tough. For Black women, systemic racism, stress, and barriers to care make it even harder. These aren’t stats—they’re mothers, daughters, sisters. Watch why t...

SCR 122 is now official. February 2026 marks 100 years of Black History Month—a century of honoring the contributions and resilience of African Americans. Honoring this history means continuing the work to advance equity and justice for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #SCR122
You deserve to know what you’re drinking. 🥤 SB 869 will require chain restaurants in California to show added sugar warnings on high-sugar drinks—no fine print, just transparency. Better info = healthier choices. #SB869 #SugarAwareness #HealthEquity
A patient called 911 repeatedly - not for emergencies, but because he had no other way to leave his house. This highlights a devastating gap in medical transportation that forces impossible choices. We must build better systems for mobility access. New episode drop: https://youtu.be/0WWkkoUkMvs
Most people are expected to navigate deductibles, copays, prior authorizations, and coverage limits without ever being taught how insurance really works. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Healthcare shouldn’t drain your budget. SB 1037 puts affordability at the center of insurance rate reviews—requiring transparency, real cost analysis, and accountability so families can actually afford coverage, not just be told increases are justified.
Maternal mental health is the leading complication of pregnancy in CA, affecting 1 in 3 moms. I’m presenting #SCR161 to recognize Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. We must end the stigma and ensure families can access the care they deserve 🩺🗳️
When communities speak up together, leaders pay attention. In this episode, we talk about how consistent advocacy around prevention programs, reimbursement, and access to care can influence funding and policy decisions. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
"Those payments should count." SB 1199 passed the Senate 26-0. Now it heads to the Assembly. #SD39 #CALeg
Effective CPR can triple a person's chance of survival. I authored SB 945 to require hands-on CPR & AED training for all CA high schoolers by 2027. We’re empowering our students to be first responders and ensuring these life-saving skills aren't left to chance. 🩺❤️ #SB945 #PublicHealth
We know the problem and we have the resources, yet Black women continue to die from heart disease at unacceptable rates. In our latest episode, we talk about what needs to change and how we can be part of that change. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
April 8, 2026 was one of the most intense bursts of violence seen anywhere in recent history. Dozens of children were killed and hundreds were made homeless. "If we ignore that day, we're not just witnessing it. We're allowing it to happen again, anywhere," says @james-unicef.bsky.social.
Craig & Mark's brand-new story is now out in Kindle & paperback, and Paul Maloney also has updates there as well. In other news, I've started writing a new MM age-gap romance but heaven alone knows what the title is, LOL! 😁 #writinglife #mmromance

Stephen Colbert hizo que su banda tocara música con derechos de autor durante su último programa para que la cadena CBS fuera demandada por usar los temas de manera ilegal "¡Oh, no! ¡Espero que esto no le cueste nada de dinero a CBS!" 🎸
Little Duke was hit by a car and found by a kind lady who rushed him to the hospital. Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford his treatment, so she asked for help. Even though I was at my grandma’s funeral, I rushed there immediately and took the little one under my care.
So turns out tesla isn't the world's biggest EV seller anymore. It's now BYD. And get this; BYD achieved all this despite being banned from selling their EVs in the US, while tesla is freely allowed to sell theirs in China. BYD is out there pushing the limits of EV technology. Kudos to them!
How can you tell how old that white pine tree is — and how can that reveal some mysteries about a forest’s history? NOTE: some of the southern pines, like loblolly pine, are “multinodal” — capable of producing more than one whorl of branches per year. #forest #trees #nature #science #history
ICE agents are parading around America’s streets in the same gear I wore in combat overseas. It’s Commando Cosplay. And it’s bullshit. Federal agents should be targeting violent criminals, not murdering American civilians.
Job ads without org charts are just guessing games. “Director of Pedagogy” could mean leadership... or it could mean “we don’t know what we need."” #HiringMess #JobAdRoast This week’s episode is on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite podcast app: buff.ly/2n6BElk
