Trump’s bombing of Iran is an illegal, unconstitutional, reckless act of war that puts war criminal Netanyahu’s agenda before the safety and lives of American troops and citizens. AOC is right. For this grave offense and many others, Trump should be impeached.

Thanks so much for helping us take this historic step Bernie! With your help, our @stopbigmoneyaz.bsky.social movement will build on this huge win to finish the job and stop billionaires from buying our AZ Dem primary elections. Then let’s make it happen across the country and at the DNC!

Bernie’s right. Trump wants violence from the movement to help stoke fear of us as a threat to justify his authoritarian repression. With nonviolent resistance we put the backlash where it belongs: against the ugly abuses of Trump and ICE’s mass deportation campaign.

We did it! AZ Dems made history today. We are the first state party in our nation to commit to ban billionaires from buying our primary elections! Thank you to everyone who helped make this huge @stopbigmoneyaz win happen. Onward to build the policy, enact it in full, and change the game. ✊🏼💙🙏🏼

Our May Day march in Phoenix stretched a mile long. Thousands came out to say NO to mass deportation and Trump’s authoritarian oligarchy. Thank you to all who joined in mass peaceful protest today across America to defend worker and immigrant rights and our democracy itself. Forward! Si se puede!

Luna received the great Dolores Huerta's blessing at our meeting at the old UFW boycott house in LA. I’m so grateful for Dolores’s support. Let’s all honor her amazing 95 years of life in service of humanity and show up in the Si Se Puede spirit tomorrow for the nationwide May Day protests!

Katie Hobbs has vetoed the AZ ICE Act!
This is a great win.
Thank you @governorhobbs.bsky.social and everyone who fought for this! We must build on this and defeat all the bills that would require Arizona to abet Trump’s mass deportation attack on our families and our Constitution.
This is a great win.

Powerful good trouble in the Arizona legislature today. Nearly every Dem silently walked out of “Border Czar” Tom Homan’s address. No Dem stayed to listen. Trump’s mass deportation campaign is shredding our Constitution and human rights every day. Every true patriot must resist.

Many thanks to every one of these Democrats for taking this courageous moral stand to block illegal arms sales to Israel today.
It’s such a sad disgrace that many more senators did not join in upholding our laws and human rights as Palestinian civilians are slaughtered in war crime after war crime.
