NOT BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
Still Punk. Still Sanders. Still Vegan. Still Married. Still child-free. Retired hs teacher. Proud Pit Bull mama. Democratic Socialist. PISSED off former Green Party member, newly independent…the DNC can fuck right off too!
Everyone should watch the Handmaid’s Tale again as a necessary refresher…and if you haven’t watched it, get to it! It’s painful because it hits home in so many ways.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses.

YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE.

Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

Adriana Smith is brain dead and her family is being forced to watch her body be kept alive for months - not for her, but to serve Georgia's cruel abortion ban.

Adriana deserves dignity and her family deserves compassion, not state-mandated torment.
This is the cruelty of abortion bans on full display. This is not “pro-woman,” “pro-life,” or “pro-family,” this is inhumanity.

Adriana Smith, we fight for you.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Mahmoud should be home in NYC with his wife and newborn son.

Instead he’s in a prison cell a thousand miles away.

Not because he has been accused of any crime—but only because he expressed political views that the Trump administration disfavors.
Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy.

In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”

(1,5) To the uninformed, the mentally lazy, & those who are not bright let me make it easy. Every country in the world has mental health issues, only the United States has a gun violence problem. It was not always this way. It is actually a problem that mostly exists over the past few decades.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

He just did it! Amazing how that works.
Thank you Senator Van Hollen👏
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I have asthma. When you have an asthma attack, you can't pull in oxygen. It is terrifying. If feels like you're going to die.

An inhaler can help, but in a severe attack, it is not enough. You could die.

During Abrego Garcia hearing right now, Judge Xinis asks the DOJ attorney (Drew Ensign) where is Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Ensign: I don't have that info. My clients haven't given me that info as of today.

Judge Xinis: Where is he?

Ensign: I don't have that info.
