A large group of people stand outside of a flower-decorated storefront holding yellow signs that say Miguel Alvelo-Rivera for State Rep 40th District and purple Graciela Guzman for State Senate signs.

This led to my community asking me to run for this seat, to give the 40th statehouse district real, people-powered representation for the first time in decades, frankly.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Emailing our pediatrician to see if she's got any insights on what to do for flu/Covid vaccines before the cold months set in, in case they're not available for political reasons. I hate feeling like there's not a single thing we can take for granted these days.

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.

We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

For months, I've called out how the Trump regime is disappearing immigrants to offshore prisons like CECOT. I've demanded an end to their inhumane and wasteful action.

But the evidence keeps piling up: thousands of our neighbors are being sent to CECOT w/o any documentation or due process. (1/2)

"Build as much clean energy as possible as fast as possible" should be our No. 1 national priority in the coming decade. All our national resources should be bent to the task. The president should talk about it every week in a national address. It should be the moon shot X100.

I've introduced the Block the Bombs Act with 21 of my colleagues to withhold certain offensive weapons that are supplied by the U.S. to Israel and demand Israel’s compliance with U.S. and international law.Β

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the β€œUS Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests.

It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

Kristi Noem must resign.

Today, I demanded accountability for the Administration's campaign to terrorize immigrants, militarize our border, and repeatedly violate our laws and civil rights.

Enough is enough.

Ah yes, this is why we have the famously leftist Federal Society, why Obama was so easily able to push through wild radical Merrick Garland, why Biden packed SCOTUS, and why known leftist Mitch McConnell said that appointing lifetime juridical candidates has been his top priority.

Oh no, I totally agree. It’s just furnishing the pretext for further grifting and will absolutely make things worse for many people. Plus in such a case, EM could unilaterally control internet access for many people.

Here’s my tin foil hat theory. The loss of SSA phone support is so when that rural folks w/o internet access can’t get help, EM can award himself a massive contract to create Starlink 2.0 on our dime & monopolize as much of the available satellite space as he can, to ruin any chance of competition.

For all those people who think β€œthe left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Frazzle weighs something like 60 pounds so I brought a stroller to the seller meetup. I am a savvy shopper.

I have always wanted a porch goose with a little outfit. I found a porch goose and got it a little outfit. Jamie named him Frazzle. Frazzle makes me happy every day.

None of us can be sure what will β€œwork.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never β€œsure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Slack has been a great platform for the group chat in these, the fascist times, so you can still share an interesting soup recipe in one channel and then switch over and doom spiral in another

Remove random keys from all the keyboards. Stack all the chairs into a single conference room, lock it and jam gum into the lock. Wait until they're inside the parking garage then lower the gate and secure it. Let the air out of their tires. Shove some dead fish into their tailpipe.
