Texas family, there are just two days left to vote early in the primary election. Make a plan to vote for my sister in service, @jasmineforus.bsky.social

Jasmine is a relentless fighter. She is the bold, effective leader this moment demands. We need her in the Senate.

The state of the union is traumatizing our children.

This is state-sanctioned childhood trauma. And it will affect these kids on a cellular level for the rest of their lives.

If ICE is murdering civilians on camera, imagine what they’re doing behind closed doors.

Mass deportation and mass incarceration are incentivized by the same for-profit system. Behind every family separated, every meal denied in detention, every medical emergency ignored, someone is getting paid.

To the survivors: the shame is not yours to carry.

You were failed by so many powerful people who could’ve protected your childhood. You were failed by a government that ignored your cries for decades. You have suffered what no person – no child – should endure.

I won’t stop fighting for you.

Redacting the names of heinous billionaire pedophiles while exposing the identities of survivors is both unacceptable and unlawful.

I will never stop fighting for every survivor.

Feds arrest 4, including Don Lemon and Minnesota journalist over church protest Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards, his attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement posted on social media.

This is fascism.

Trump is baselessly arresting Black journalists for exercising their First Amendment right.

All while pedophiles & murderous ICE agents walk free.

These people must be freed NOW & the DOJ must stop attacking our Constitutional rights. www.npr.org/2026/01/30/n...

I came to Minneapolis to bear witness, actively listen, to grieve and to be in community.

To demand accountability for Alex Pretti's murder.

From Massachusetts to Minnesota. We stand up for our neighbors and we’re standing together. β™₯️

I hope people realize the courageous, brave Congresswoman we have in my sister @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

She is unflappable & DOES NOT FLINCH despite the daily threats & vitriol incited by the occupant of the White House.

And as always, she carries on in defense of her community & our country.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we grieve the murder of millions of Jews & marginalized people.

May their memory be a blessing and a reminder that hatred has no place in our world.

Today, we reaffirm our shared humanity and fight to root out antisemitism & bigotry.

Some of us ran for Congress on a platform of abolishing ICE in 2018.

We were maligned, called β€œradical” and β€œfringe” β€” but really we were just the canaries in the coal mine.

And devastatingly, everything we warned about has come to bear, and more.

ICE agents have killed another person on the street. For simply bearing witness to their cruelty and lawlessness. For giving a damn about his neighbors.

There is no reforming ICE. It must be abolished.

A year into Trump’s second term, democracy is still ours to defend - The Boston Globe Everyday acts of solidarity and resistance offer proof that authoritarianism can still be confronted β€” and beaten.

A year into Trump's second term, we're not accepting his dystopian vision for America as inevitable.

The people are still powerful, & the past year has shown us that the only way to beat a dictator is with defiance.

But he taught us to see and center the humanity of every person.

Today, let's remember his. A loving husband, father, son, and brother. A pastor and a friend.

Dr. King prepared us for this moment. I remain calm despite the coordinated, unrelenting attacks on Black people, on Black bodies, on Black votes, on Black power, and Black progress.

Because our ancestors wrote the blueprint for our survival.

The fact that this administration is pretending Renee Good’s grieving widow is a bigger threat than the rogue ICE officer who murdered her says everything.

We must end qualified immunity for ICE agents now.
