This Mother’s Day, we’re thinking about the mothers navigating incarceration and supervision. These mothers are often separated from their children for years at a time, forced to parent through phone calls, emails, visitation rooms, and impossible distance. We are honored to partner with @KimKardashian and Ladies of Hope Ministries (@thelohm) to enable 50 incarcerated moms to spend this Mother's Day with their children. They deserve better. We must do better.

We are honored to help reunite 50 mothers with their children this weekend. As a mother, I cannot imagine being away from my babies and some of these women haven’t seen their kids in decades due to the expense of travel. @KimKardashian @REFORM @thelohm @EdyHaney

"So many of these mothers have spent years away from their children and families, missing birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments most of us take for granted," she continued. "I’m honored to partner with REFORM and LOHM to help reconnect these families so they can hold their children, laugh together, and simply be a family again.” @KimKardashian This Mother's Day, in partnership with @KimKardashian and @thelohm we’re reuniting 50 families.

Even in these divided political times, First Step Act continues to be a beacon of bipartisanship. Forever grateful to @realDonaldTrump for signing that bill into law and for continuing to affirm his commitment to its implementation.

Today, April 30th, @POTUS proclaimed April as Second Chance Month.  I am proud to serve our country in my role as White House Pardon Czar. America is a nation of laws. But it is also a nation that believes in growth, responsibility—and redemption. I know that because I lived it. Working alongside many partners across the country, I see every day that public safety must come first—but also that when people truly change, they deserve a real opportunity to rebuild their lives. President Trump has led historic criminal justice reform—and never lost sight of that balance. A second chance changed my life.  Now I work every day to help others earn theirs. 🙏🏽🇺🇸 @WhiteHouse @Potus whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

@agingroy It appears from the list that the least aging groups have something in their day the others don’t- movement. We age when we don’t move.

Scientists and educators age fastest. Athletes age slowest. A facial aging clock trained on occupation-linked photos found that the gap between your biological face-age and your real age predicts all-cause mortality. The wider that gap, the higher your risk. Women aged slower than men in every single occupation measured. No exceptions. The ranking, from youngest-looking to oldest-looking relative to chronological age: Athletes > service workers > sales > clerical > managers > professionals > scientists and educators. The people who study aging for a living look the oldest. I wish I could say I'm surprised. Your face is a record of cumulative stress, UV, sleep loss, and metabolic wear. Your job title determines how much of each you get.

Research in Finland found that simply changing what children play on can quickly influence their immune system. Scientists redesigned parts of nursery playgrounds by swapping gravel and asphalt for natural forest materials, soil, moss, leaf litter, and native plants, so kids would be exposed to the microbes found in nature. After just 28 days, clear biological differences emerged. Children who played in these “rewilded” spaces developed a richer mix of microbes on their skin and in their gut. They also showed higher levels of regulatory T-cells, which help the body manage inflammation and reduce the risk of immune overreactions like allergies. These changes were not observed in children who stayed on conventional playground surfaces. The findings support the biodiversity hypothesis, the idea that limited contact with natural environments, especially in urban life, may be linked to rising allergies and autoimmune conditions. What stands out is how simple the intervention was. This wasn’t extreme outdoor exposure-just everyday play in a more natural setting. Even small, regular contact with soil and vegetation appears to shape the body’s internal ecosystem and how the immune system develops.

So can we talk about maternity leave then? I’ve never had a child consistently sleep through the night until they are at least 2. And no I’m not torturing them with sleep training (and yes… I think it’s abuse). Leave needs to match that timeframe then (based off this study).
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening. UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm. The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6. Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it. The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in. About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters. "I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.

After serving 16 years in prison, Quadaire came home and did everything right: built a family, started a nonprofit, and stayed fully compliant while on probation. But Virginia’s probation system didn't have a reliable and standardized process that would account for that kind of progress — until now. Governor Abigail Spanberger just signed a bipartisan bill into law that will allow people on probation to earn early termination by demonstrating stability and rehabilitation. That means more people being given the opportunity to move forward with their lives and contribute to their communities, lower caseloads for officers, and a stronger focus on true public safety. Virginia just took another major step toward smarter, safer supervision. Read the full op-ed 🔗 tr.ee/tn4RkST9D1

For those keeping count, that’s more than a dozen laws that have been passed due to JAY-Z.

Breaking news → Governor Spanberger (@GovernorVA) just signed our bill HB 149 / SB 136 into law, further improving Virginia’s probation system and making it one of the smartest and most effective in the country. 🎉. After 4 years of work across different gubernatorial administrations and party shifts, the bill got even stronger and garnered even more bipartisan support in the General Assembly and the backing of advocates and law enforcement leaders, the 52,000 Virginians on probation finally have a real opportunity to be rewarded for their progress and move on with their lives. Now, after demonstrating compliance, rehabilitation, and low risk to the community, individuals can earn a recommendation for early termination from their probation officers. Thank you to our Virginia Safety Coalition members who made this possible! Want to be a part of this movement for change? Become a REFORMer! tr.ee/jxRTUvC3u6

Public safety isn’t about slogans. It’s about outcomes. In an op-ed for @TheHill, REFORM CEO @JessicaJackson makes the case for modernizing federal supervision. The Safer Supervision Act would focus resources where they matter most: supporting success, strengthening accountability, and reducing repeat crime. tr.ee/WcqXivNTW6

Let’s go Virginia!!!!
REFORM Alliance@REFORM

🎉 IT’S OFFICIAL: HB 149 / SB 136 has passed the VA General Assembly. Now it heads to @SpanbergerForVA's desk to be signed into law. If signed, this bill creates a clear path to early termination for people who have worked hard and done everything right while on probation—complied with the conditions of their supervision, maintained employment, completed treatment, and demonstrated they are not a public safety risk to the community. That means: ✅ Individuals are empowered to earn their way out of the system ✅ Probation officers can focus on higher-risk cases ✅ More Virginians can participate in the workforce ✅ Public safety resources are directed where they matter most Governor Spanberger, let’s finish the job. 💪

Today, the President granted pardons to five former NFL players—Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, and the late great Dr. Billy Cannon. As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again. So is our nation. Special thanks to Jerry Jones for personally sharing the news with Nate Newton. I’m holding Nate’s pardon in my hands today—what a blessed day. Grateful to @POTUS for his continued commitment to second chances. Mercy changes lives. 🙏🏽

When #SB423 was signed into law, @KeleenBishop was in the room and still on supervision. After serving 10 years in prison and more time on supervision, he was doing everything right: working full-time, going to school, and building a future. Still, one small mistake (a missed check-in) could have sent him back to prison. This bill was built for people exactly like him. Thanks to REFORM Alliance’s work to pass #SB423, people on supervision who are doing well like Keleen have an opportunity for early discharge through streamlined processes, and can earn time off their sentence by completing a degree or attaining a work certification. A few months after the bill signing, Keleen’s parole officer called and told him he was officially off supervision. He flew to Seattle to reunite with his family and start fresh. Today, he runs his own graphic design business and supports the people he loves. Thanks to the leadership of the Illinois Secure Communities Coalition, @Saferfoundation, @JBPrtizker, @RepJGB, @P_Windhorst, and @SenCunningham, thousands more Illinoisans can earn their way home, too.

@JessicaJackson @soigomaa There are alot of companies with similar practices. I applaud someone standing up for that but honestly how consistent are you with all products? Do you research your fruit companies? Do you eat ANY chocolate? Are you sure you're not buying ANY nestle conglomerate product?

They told mothers formula was modern and better. They didn't tell them the water could kill their children. In the 1970s, Nestlé ran aggressive formula campaigns across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, handing out free supplies just long enough for breast milk to stop. When the free samples ended, mothers had no choice but to buy more. What Nestlé failed to warn was that formula required clean water, something many communities didn't have. Mothers mixed it with contaminated water or diluted it to make it last. Babies fell sick and died from malnutrition, diarrhea, and disease. All while formula was marketed as scientific and superior, with hospitals and leaders paid to promote it. This wasn't innovation. It was exploitation.

🎉SB 136 / HB 149 have officially passed the House and Senate and are headed to crossover with strong bipartisan support! Right now, Virginia’s probation system can make meaningful second chances a reality with proven best practices that reduce crime, lighten heavy probation caseloads, lessen the burden on taxpayers, and increase reentry success. SB 136 / HB 149 will ensure probation officers can recommend ending supervision early for people who’ve demonstrated real progress and rehabilitation and pose no risk to public safety. This progress only happens when people come together. Lawmakers, advocates, the Virginia Department of Corrections, and law enforcement worked collaboratively to advance a solution that strengthens public safety and supports smarter supervision. @NewCraigforVA @WrenWilliamsVA @BarbaraFavola @DelegateCallsen @VADOC @LegalAidJustice @HumanizationPro 👉 We’re not done yet. The bills now head to the opposite chambers for the next round of votes. Join REFORM and help us push these bills over the finish line. tr.ee/jxRTUvC3u6 #VALeg #sb136 #hb149
