Militarized police on the streets of America will NOT make us great. Single-payer healthcare will make America great. Universal childcare will make America great. Housing for All will make America great. Tuition-free college will make America great.

David Huerta peacefully stood up for his community during an ICE raid, and was forcefully injured and unjustly arrested. As educators and union members, we stand with David, @seiuca.bsky.social, and demand an end to these inhumane attacks. Where they bring terror, we bring solidarity.

This administration thinks it can cancel Pride… Oh honeybuns. We never needed your permission in the first place. Pride started as a riot. If you keep encroaching on our rights, we’ll just go back to our roots. Hint: it involves bricks.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

The idea that ICE is only targeting criminals, but that other people just get caught up in that effort is a lie to allow people to pretend what's happening is not what's happening. They always wanted this; they chanted "mass deportations now!" at rallies. They want to make America more white again

I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story. A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours. We are in this together and there's only one way out.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect. This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse. I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This administration has fired crisis counselors for our veterans and now for kids. This bullshit doesn’t make us great. Any one of these calls could be life or death for a child. This senseless act of cruelty will kill people and they know it.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

“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.”

After weeks of blocking food, water & fuel, the Israeli govt has resumed its bombing of Gaza—slaughtering over 400 Palestinians & putting the remaining hostages at risk. Unconscionable. The US must stop funding this genocide & use every diplomatic tool to restore the ceasefire.

These are just a few of the messages I’ve received from New Mexicans about what the Republican plan to cut Medicaid would mean for them and their families. As their Senator, I will fight any cuts to Medicaid, especially when it's to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
