As Pride Month ends, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, signifying a decade of equal marriage opportunities for LGBTQIA+ couples. Never forget how recent such fundamental civil rights are, and how “back to the good ol’ days” folks want to go back much further than 10 years

Today’s events of political violence are abhorrent. The unspeakable killing of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is devastating. Melissa dedicated her life to serving Minnesota. And this tragedy is heartbreaking for our state. They will be missed dearly.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Anyone who doesn’t have a problem with plainclothed gov agents abducting people off the street without identifying themselves or even having a reason to arrest them beyond “they defied us” is a facist apologist. Maybe they don’t realize they are, but they are

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Remember to always act civilly when protesting, unless there is an immediate and severe threat to your well being, as they’ll use any ‘reason’ to toss you in a hole

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump & the oligarchs are openly robbing the US by the billions, the US treasury should be surrounded by protestors daily, the Whitehouse & Mar-A-Lago gates impassable by the masses. Asserting physical pressure against the regime is necessary, the calls and emails you send your reps & senators too.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥
