Hate is on the rise—and it’s showing up in ways that should alarm every single one of us. We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable. (1/2)

This is residents in San Diego telling Ice-Gestapo agents to get TF out of their neighborhood. More of this please. 💙👊

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

It’s insane that Republicans are still trying to sell trickle-down economics—and it’s peak insanity that people still buy it. Before Reagan’s tax cuts, debt was under control—even w/highways, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Cold War. What changed? Massive tax cuts. And we’re still footing the bill.

While we should certainly be grateful for hard work that is going into the losses Trump is experiencing in the courts, we should refuse to think that his weaponization of law enforcement agencies has slowed down. If anything, it’s gaining momentum. 1/2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dem strategy for the midterms right now is: 1. Do nothing 2. Assume this somehow motivates people to vote for them 3. ? 4. Profit. . . . I mean sweep the House and Senate

Tulsa’s new mayor proposed a $100 million private trust as part of a reparations plan to give descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre scholarships and housing help in a city-backed bid to make amends for one of the worst racial attacks in US history.

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

This week, I visited the Hamilton-Madison House Older Adult Center in Lower Manhattan, which provides multi-lingual support, and activities to 2,500 seniors in the Chinatown and Two Bridges communities. As Trump cuts funding for key programs, community anchors like this are more vital than ever.

This week, I confronted masked ICE officers detaining immigrants during routine court appearances, led a bipartisan effort to protect federal judges from doxxing threats, and organized a walkthrough of the Red Hook Houses’ post-Sandy resiliency project with NYCHA officials.

For weeks I have been arguing that the law firms that capitulated to Trump were not only immoral but made a bad business decision. Looks like I was right. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Today I watched a video in which the Governor of Iowa Jodi Ernst snidely pretend she didn’t understand that cuts to Medicaid would cause people to die. She then sarcastically used Jesus as a human shield for her total lack of morality. She is an evil person who doesn’t care who dies.
