ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.

If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

Trump’s Proud Boys Goon Squad ( aka ICE Agents), have complete immunity to force people to the ground and murder them.
Republicans who control Congress support this massacre in Our Streets.

“I don’t do politics.”

Yes you do.

Low wages? That’s politics.
High prices? That’s politics.
War? That’s politics.

The world won’t spare you for not “doing” politics. Stay informed.

I stand in solidarity with the more than 31,000 Kaiser nurses and health care workers on strike in California and Hawaii.

It’s well past time for Kaiser to return to the table with a fair offer for their workers that includes safer staffing ratios and higher wages.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers hold a moment of silence for him.

Devastating and infuriating.

The movement that will deliver progress for all Americans will be born out of the fight for Black liberation.

It will not come from anywhere else.

The systems that hold all working class Americans back are rooted in anti-Blackness.

Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @steelworkers.bsky.social for better wages, benefits & working conditions. 

Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation.

I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.

Something that must change in Democratic politics is the belief that democracy is “drama.”

Primaries and challenging leadership aren’t “drama,” it’s democracy.

Hesitation to participate in democracy only leads to an erosion of it.

I stand with the 200 CNH Industrial @uaw.org workers in Burlington, Iowa, fighting against corporate greed to protect their jobs.

CNH raked in $1.3 billion in profit and paid its CEO nearly $20 million last year alone.

CNH can afford to respect its workers and protect these jobs.

🧵Let’s talk about what DEI is.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion doesn’t mean people getting jobs because of their skin color, that’s what the absence of DEI does.

At one point, most professional sports leagues were white-only.

At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling.

Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends.

The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.
Breaking News: President Trump plans to open 1.3 billion acres of U.S. waters to drilling. It is one of Trump’s most significant steps yet to increase the production of fossil fuels, as dozens of countries have been calling for a phaseout of oil, gas and coal.
Trump Plans to Open More Than a Billion Acres of U.S. Waters to Drilling
The plan from the Interior Department is one of the president’s most significant steps yet to increase domestic fossil fuel production.

When the GOP calls every social safety net measure “socialism,” votes like this matter in a policy context.

House Minority Leader Jeffries voting with the GOP in favor of this resolution is showing his ultra-wealthy donors exactly who he fights for.

It’s not the people.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.

The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?

Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?

I doubt it.

Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.

But the struggle continues.

Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.

Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

I’m saddened to learn that beloved Iowa community member and priest, Father Treviño has passed. He was a brave man who will be missed as a tireless voice and leader for the vulnerable. Let us carry forward his mission of justice. My condolences to his family and community.

Who accused Bernie of being weak on the "the black question, the women question"? Democrats. And we got Chump 2.0.

Thanks Obama, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar...
