Proud to sign Rep. Mary Fosse’s bill improving our safeguards for youth workers at Sheet Metal Workers Local 66 DuPont training center today. As more youth enter Washington’s workforce, protecting their safety must be a top priority.

“We’ve got to remember how we got here—from Selma to Seneca Falls. We are here because of the power of the people. Change does not come from Washington. It comes to Washington.” Powerful words from Cory Booker at the Capitol sit-in right now. It’s up to all us, the people, to bring about change.

One of the greatest shames of WWII was our segregated military. Every Black combat unit served with honor, sacrifice, and extraordinary heroism. From the 92nd to the 761st, it would have been a honor and privilege to stand beside them in combat. It’s time to stop telling people they can’t serve.

It's been 4 days since we wrote to Secretary Hegseth demanding accountability over rising civilian deaths from U.S. military strikes in Yemen. Today another U.S. strike reportedly killed at least 68 civilians. This gross disregard for civilian harm is unacceptable and doesn’t make us any safer.

I’ve said it before, but it is so heartbreaking watching the accommodations created during the pandemic—better wfh, hybrid conventions & conferences, online events, strict masking rules, etc—just disappear. It’s part of a pattern, where these things are only created when abled folk need them also.

While that asshole is closing embassies all over the world and shrinking American business and diplomatic reach, China is only too glad to step in, provide high tech to developing countries, and cutting the United States out of all moves to improve the lives of people in developing countries.

Spent the last week holding town halls in deeply rural and red parts of Oregon. The message is clear: people are scared and angry, not knowing if their way of life will be next on Trump’s chopping block. Trump is losing support and trust across the country.

🧵States across the country are reminding their residents and businesses of the state of what the law allows regarding interacting with ICE when they come to your community. This would seem normal right? To educate your state on what's legal and what's not legal? To this regime, it's somehow illegal.

Barry Barr, CEO of outdoor wear company KAVU, on how tariffs impact his business: “Due to the extreme spikes in prices, we are expecting that many, if not all of our 2,000 independent outdoor retailers … will cancel their orders, leaving us with no sales, and at the precipice of shutting down.”

Get your butts out and VOTE today, pals. The polls we’ve been seeing are only a snapshot of how people are feeling— it’s easy to see that and feel complacent, but the outcome is not written in stone, and an election in BC recently was decided by 22 votes. Your voice matters. PLEASE vote. 🇨🇦❤️

Observation: the rest of the world does not understand us when we say "only 1/3 of American adults voted Trump. Majority didn't want him." To which they say: "1/3 voted Trump, 1/3 didn't vote, so 2/3s of you were OK with this." We must explain voter suppression better. Most of us didn't want him.
