"Raise your voice as the sun goes down, sing your song to the sleeping crowd, raise your voice, let it shake the ground, sing your song as the bombs ring out..." Ella, Temia and Ayėl were practicing a song (written by Ella) around our piano. The passion of these young people gives me hope.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.
House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.
They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

"This is the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history. That the Supreme Court authorized it in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking.”

US Supreme Court lets Trump end deportation protection for Venezuelans
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Donald Trump's administration on Monday to strip about 350,000 Venezuelans living in the United States of a temporary protected status given under his predecessor Joe Biden, as the Republican president moves to ramp up deportations as part of his hardline approach to immigration.

Over 40% of births.
Nearly 40% of child healthcare.
Cutting Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks is just cruel.
