We won’t cede ground anywhere, but we will build up our power and alliances everywhere.

Trust in our government and justice system depends on transparency.
The public has a right to know how deep corruption runs — and who enabled it.
Expose it all. Restore accountability. #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoverup

Lots of MAGA voters on food stamps are going to be bending over backwards to justify Trump's decision to take away their families groceries this month.
Kids are going to be hungry... but we need to call their parents in, not call them out.
We should know by now that condemnation doesn't work.

For the Disappeared in America Weekend of Action, some protested outside of Home Depots nationwide, others held vigils near detention centers, jails, and courthouses. It was a weekend of honoring lives lost to ICE detention and demanding it never happens again. #DisappearedInAmerica

Fair elections. Equal representation. A government that reflects the people, not just those with power.
Prop 50 is about preserving those values — not just in California, but with ripple effects across the country.
This is a pivot point that affects us all.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The FDA’s “review” of mifepristone is a key part of this administration's anti-science position, but it is also a major component of the anti-abortion machine’s playbook to eliminate what is left of abortion access.
