Hi everyone, We are reaching out today first to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support you've shown us over the past few months.

Today we met with detainees including Rodney Taylor to hear from them directly about the conditions in Stewart Detention Center. This detention center is notorious and accounts for the majority of deaths in ICE custody.

"Luis" harvests lemons in Orange Cove, CA. He earns $48 per 900lb crate. "On a good day, I can pick 2-3 crates. It is dangerous work. We climb up and down a 12-foot ladder paying attention to avoid the thorns. It's cold and wet at this time of year, so it's slippery." #WeFeedYou

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.
Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots.
Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Fascism always fails, but it drags the innocent down with it.
We are one year into this four-year regime, and things are only spiraling.
Stop pretending it won’t get worse.
We must prepare our communities now for the violence they’ll bring as they lose their grip on power.

Our case challenging President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in front of the Supreme Court is one of the biggest cases of the century.

The permission structure for invading other countries has been set. It won’t stop at Venezuela.
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

Rent is up. Food prices are climbing. The National Debt is exploding. Yet, we are watching another conflict unfold in Venezuela.
Do you think US intervention is really about "democracy," or is it about resources?

As we enter 2026, I want to remind folks that primary elections are where voters can decide to not have to choose between the lesser of two evils in general elections.
You do not have to vote against your self interests. In fact, that’s the opposite of how a democracy works.

Spent the day waiting for the monks on their journey.
It was worth the 5-hour wait.
The monks gave me a lot to think about—specifically how we must first find peace in ourselves.
This country’s future depends on it. 🕊️

Your health should not depend on your bank account or your zip code.
For too long, corporate interests and entrenched politicians have treated healthcare as a luxury for the lucky few, rather than what it actually is, a fundamental human right.

Not the lobbyists.
Not the status quo.

I’m fighting for a $25/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation, because 40 hours a week should cover rent, groceries, childcare, and a little breathing room, not just keep you trapped on a treadmill while corporations rake in record profits.
