Love of democracy
Hate tries to scare us.
We show up louder.
Pride, courage, zero fear.

Who else will stand in the face of hate this weekend? 🕊️

DHS shuts down.
ICE stays funded.
Congress argues.
Americans suffer.

Which part of “protect the people” did they forget?

Every $1 in food stamps = $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Every $1 to low-wage workers = $1.20 to the economy.
And people still claim we “can’t afford it.

People talk about “affordability” until it’s about helping real Americans.
Then suddenly it’s “too expensive.

Just finished meeting with Spanish Prime Minister @pedrosanchezcas.bsky.social.

From economic development to climate action, the world can always look to California as a strong, reliable ally.

$450B/year could go to healthcare. Every dollar to low-income workers boosts the economy. Yet we give tax breaks to billionaires.
Tell me what we “can’t afford” again.

No matter what side you’re on should ALL the Epstein files be released? Yes or no?

I don’t care what party they belong to
if they’re in the files, release the names and let the chips fall.

Release the Epstein files in full.
No redactions.
No political spin.
No protection for the powerful.
Justice shouldn’t depend on your last name or your donor list.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

We're no longer a functioning democracy. Don't expect a democratic election.

Real leadership is creating more leaders. That changemaker pipeline is the long game — and it’s how we protect democracy.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw
