Congress just rammed through $70 billion more to ICE and CBP with zero accountability, zero reforms, and a green light to terrorize our patients and communities. Our taxes directly funding a lawless paramilitary force. Nurses don't just condemn this, we’re fighting it every day.

A patient’s final bath with their favorite shampoo? A.I. cannot calculate dignity. Nurses should always be in command of our patients' care!

We’re not surprised, but are still outraged, that Chicago nurses wanted to unionize for patient safety and @_PrimeHealth fired them. We know exactly how far Prime is willing to go to put profits over patients. Union nurses in California are behind you 100%! ✊

Fund billionaire wealth or care for our communities? The answer is obvious to nurses. ✅ Vote YES on Measure D, San Francisco's Overpaid CEO tax measure.
The image is a promotional graphic supporting Proposition D. It has a prominent "Yes on D!" at the top, with the slogan "Protect Care Not Corporate Greed." Below are three green checkmarks with corresponding statements about Prop D: adding a surcharge on large corporations, raising up to $300 million for healthcare services, and funding hospitals, clinics, mental health programs, and in‑home care. A red "X" indicates that Prop D will not raise taxes.

We have a nurse retention crisis, not 👏 a 👏 nurse 👏 shortage! 👏 1.15 million have RN licenses but are not working as nurses. Our working conditions are so unsafe and unsustainable that they are driving new and experienced nurses away. bit.ly/4a96whG

65% of RNs who left the bedside say they’d come back for safe staffing. This is a retention crisis built by hospitals.
