Today we joined local leaders in SF to support Asm @ib2real.bsky.social's AB 1537, the No Side Jobs for ICE Act. Our coalition is proud to sponsor this important bill.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

As a former activist within Dem spaces, my ongoing thesis is that the party’s greatest strength is also its weakest aspect- we emphasize coalition building and consensus at every level of the party, from young Democrat elections and ADEM slates upwards.

Deference is everything in this party.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

I’m so proud of the @fedsagainstdoge.bsky.social action today at the Dept of HHS! We hosted a rally with impacted workers against DOGE in such a short time this week, thank you all for participating ✊

Met the cutest watchdog at the CFPB protest today! If only we can train doggies to bite corporatists 🤔

With all of my heart, I manifest an absolute FUCK YOU to all the billionaires who’ve bought our democracy

only good photo of me at yesterday's @iceoutofca.bsky.social rally in Sacramento in support of immigrant justice, plus a few choice photos from my camera as well.

I'm as committed as I have ever been to support refugee and migrant rights, and California can do so much more to support this fight.

Happening now: As the #CAleg session opens, hundreds of immigrants and supporters are rallying at the capitol to demand @GavinNewsom and the legislature take action to keep families together! Joining today: folks from Central Valley, San Diego, LA, OC, and the Bay.
