Many are sick or have lost loved ones due to rare diseases caused by radiation.

🍎On Teacher Appreciation Day, I’m thinking of our amazing educators in St. Louis who are changing lives every single day.
We see you, we love you, and we’ll keep fighting to ensure you receive the pay you deserve.
Happy Birthday to Mary Eliza Mahoney, America’s first professionally trained Black nurse!
My resolution in her honor celebrates her and advocates for Black, Latina, and other women of color in the nursing field.
More than 1 million people, including 600,000 children, are sheltering in Rafah with nowhere else to go.
This isn’t war. This is genocide.
@POTUS
must stop the IDF’s assault on Rafah and stop enabling war crimes.
As a former mental health nurse, I know that taking care of our mental well-being is just as important as our physical health.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, let's commit to supporting each other and building a more compassionate and inclusive world.
On Yom HaShoah, and every day, we mourn and remember the millions of Jewish people and others killed in the Holocaust.
We continue our work to stand up against fascism, fight antisemitism, and ensure that never again means never again for anyone.
Happy National Nurses Week to my fellow nurses! This week, we celebrate the unwavering dedication, strength, & heroic work that nurses do every day.
Thank you for your commitment to improving and saving lives.
On the 54th anniversary of the Kent State Massacre, students across our country are being brutalized for standing up to endless war.
Our country must learn to actually uphold the rights of free speech & assembly upon which it was founded.
Solidarity with our students💜
1.4 million people are sheltering in Rafah. A full-scale invasion would be a massacre.
I joined

@RepDean
& my colleagues to urge
@POTUS
to prevent an assault on Rafah and withhold weapons to Israel.
On
#WorldPressFreedomDay
, our thoughts are with Gaza's brave journalists enduring one of the deadliest conflicts for journalists in history.
We continue our work to demand accountability for their deaths and protect journalists.
Today and everyday, we stand in solidarity with journalists worldwide, on the frontlines of movements for liberation. Your commitment to truth is inspiring.
We will continue to safeguard freedom of the press and protect democracy.
#WorldPressFreedomDay
Last night,
@SLU_Official
set an example by showing how universities should handle protests—not with force but with compassion and respect for our rights to free speech & assembly.
Proud of SLU for leading the way 💜
Black hair is beautiful.
Black hair is professional.
Black hair must not be policed.
Our hair deserves a place in every room and on every stage. Proud to co-sponsor the
#CROWNAct
to end race-based hair discrimination in schools and workplaces.
Congress has a moral obligation to ensure St. Louisans impacted by Manhattan Project waste are compensated.
I joined a bicameral letter to urge House Leadership to take immediate action to extend and expand RECA.

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! In St. Louis and beyond, we celebrate the rich history, culture, and achievements of our AAPI community this month and always 💜
This is an important shift from our government’s failed approach to marijuana.
Now let's fully deschedule and legalize it, expunge all criminal records for marijuana offenses, and end the racist War on Drugs.
BREAKING: The DEA is moving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.
The agency is proposing that marijuana move from a schedule 1 substance to a schedule 3 substance.
This would be the DEA’s biggest policy change in over 50 years.
Happy Jewish American Heritage Month!
This month & every month, we celebrate the culture and contributions of our beloved Jewish community in St. Louis and beyond 💜
