She has been incarcerated since March, as she awaits a court date in May.

Where is the media outrage?

“Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy” calls for evaluation of all pending proceedings under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

Prior to the ECOA (1974), women could be asked to have a spouse co-sign for credit cards or loans.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Hernandez: This administration wants you to believe that the reason you can't buy eggs is because of your immigrant neighbor, they want you to blame trans folks for your troubles, blame unhoused people for the housing crisis. You know what I say to that? Bullshit.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

This is a big deal. Senator Cory Booker’s courage to speak out so loudly and boldly on Capitol Hill will most certainly give others courage to get louder and bolder. I was in DC last month and it felt like a police state - there was little tolerance for free speech opposing the administration.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

“Look for what you Love.” 💜

This is some of the best advice I’ve ever been given… in engaging with challenging people, In navigating difficult situations, in times of crisis.

Remembering to focus first on love changes everything.
