Thank you to renowned Professor Jacqueline Angel for this piece in the Statesman.

Our abuelas deserves better than choosing between rent & medicine. Our neighbors shouldn’t have to choose between work and caring for mom.

Our seniors resolution is just the start.

🚨I join local officials in sounding the alarm: Federal budget cuts will devastate Medicaid, SNAP, & essential services that millions rely on. Hospitals will close, families will go hungry, & schools will suffer—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. This isn’t partisan, it’s wrong.

In Austin, and in the United States of America, we don’t believe in kings. 🇺🇸

Thank you to the patriots who peacefully showed up, rallied, and made your voices heard this #NoKings Day.

Imagine being tackled and handcuffed just for asking a question at work. That’s what happened to @SenAlexPadilla while doing his job as California’s Senator. This isn’t normal.
