Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

This regime is killing millions of innocent children around the world via starvation, dirty water, and denial of medical care. Millions of little kids are dying. This is a holocaust committed by Tr*mp and Elon Musk.

In Trump’s first 100 days, he: -Attacked the NLRB -Gutted worker health & safety research -Delayed a rule protecting miners from black lung -Ended DOL grants fighting child labor -Lowered the minimum wage for 300K+ federal contractors It's an all-out war on workers.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

SO easy today when the administration, and greed, racism have created whole swaths of communities that are underpaid AND have no access to fresh food.

Keep pushing our electeds to do what’s right, and hold them accountable. Have votes of no confidence. Get someone else in… ther must be a mechanism.

Rehire our lab scientists (and while you are at it, NOAA scientists, university scientists…rehire ALL our scientists. As a general rule, it isn’t the scientists causing waste & inefficiency; look to upper management of wealthy corporate entities.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

The CONSTITUTION is the only thing standing in the way of any one of us being put on the next plane. Our elected leaders (most) are not upholding their oath.

This administration fought like hell to bring sex trafficker and abuser Andrew Tate home. But they can't seem to find Abrego Garcia. When will the public reach its breaking point? Now? When El Salvador says Garcia died in their torture camp?

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"
