I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I introduced legislation to strengthen CA’s protections for trans people who are targeted by other states, the feds or bad actors for prosecution or abuse of health info.

The bill also protects trans folks’ families, teachers & health providers, all of whom are being threatened by Trump & company.🧵

On Thursdays, we share some #JuicyThots. The POTUS has declared himself a king, posting an AI generated image of him wearing a Queen’s Crown. His co-President Elon Musk is busy gutting the federal agencies investigating his companies. Trump wants to end the Ukrainian-Russian war by siding w/ Russia.

Due to massive public pressure & us fighting back, the White House has rescinded their illegal Republican Rip Off.

We won this battle, but the war against Projects 2025 is still on. They stopped Medicaid, food stamps, & much more. We made that stop temporary, but they will try again.
NEW: The Trump administration has rescinded the federal grant freeze.

Trump just paused all federal spending to our communities. Why? He needs to free up money to give corrupt billionaires and corporations tax cuts. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are cheering him on.

The past few days have been a lot. Remember to take a deep breath and keep organizing. There's a lot of power in people power.

I heard that quote and was like? Who? Youth came out overwhelmingly for Harris. This guy is trying to erase all the organizing that turned out youth voters.
Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24.
Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29.
Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39.

Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.”

Week 2 of Drumpf Presidency: how does it feel like a month has gone by in these 7 days? Maybe bc they are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks? From what I’ve read, we need to just keep calm and carry on. Focus on your work, support community, and hold the line! We will need allies.

How do we respond to the hatred and fascism coming out of the White House? W/ plain jane humility, respect, & non-violence. It disarms the liars & thieves & criminals that are trying to incite outrage. We must lead with heart and soul to expose their inhumanity. And we must do so unapologetically.

Trump just sent a very loud message that there is no rule of law for his supporters, just like there is no rule of law for him.

I’m so proud to know Bäri from law school.
I had to write this. It's personal, supplier diversity was my brainchild, but it also has implications for all of us - from the types of products made, their harm, and who we enrich using their platforms.

I hope it makes you consider where and how you use social media: shorturl.at/BYa5r
Opinion | Mark Zuckerberg, in with Trump now, is no longer pretending to care about diversity
What might strike outsiders as a change in ethos for the company is just Zuckerberg showing us who he really is.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

For my first post on BlueSky, I am going to treat this more like my personal #JuicyThots mini blog experience. I have had the most emotional rollercoaster of a start to 2025– from the anxiety and dread of the 2nd Trump era to the LA fires and unexpected passing of my dear friend & organizer Allyn 1/
