Corporations got us into this mess, but even they can't escape the devastating reality of climate change.

Democracies don't fall because of outside invaders. They fall because leaders dismantle them from the inside. They attack the press. They intimidate judges. They use the power of government to punish political opponents. Sound familiar? We have to fight this with everything we have.

We cannot allow Republicans to continue to demonize immigrants. Full stop.

I am standing with Starbucks workers who are demanding fair contracts, better pay, and safe working conditions. Workers across this country deserve a living wage! #NoContractNoCoffee

Shocker: Donald Trump is lying again. 🙄 He didn't lower prescription drug prices — he sided with Big Pharma, rolled back cost-lowering efforts, and left families paying more. He knows the truth. He just doesn't care.

My parents spent every last cent in their bank account to send me to America when I was 16. Fighting for justice and dignity for our immigrant neighbors has never been “just politics.” For me, it’s personal.

Republicans sent us home early so they can get a head start on ANOTHER vacation. Americans' premiums are doubling and tripling in the new year. But Speaker Johnson doesn’t care.

Donald Trump can't even run the United States – and now he wants to run Venezuela? His actions are unconstitutional, illegal, and not what the American people want.

I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong. We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom. Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.

If Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol can make $96 MILLION in just 4 months, he can afford to pay his workers a living wage. The problem isn’t scarcity, it’s greed.

Trump is a con man, plain and simple.

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s victory in New York City shows that working people across the country are ready for government that works for them. Go to to find out how to get involved!

Immigrants are NOT criminals, and immigration is NOT a crime. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s lies.

We can not and will not undermine the contributions of immigrants to this country. Full stop.

What do we, as Democrats, stand for? We can’t just be AGAINST Trump; we have to be FOR something. I know what I stand for. Medicare for All. Living wages for all. Universal childcare. An economy that works for EVERYONE. I hope you’ll join me.

Being undocumented is NOT a crime in the U.S. Trump needs to stop treating our neighbors like criminals and wasting resources to terrorize our communities. Enough is enough.

Fascism is violence. And we resist that violence with a nonviolent movement that brings together millions of people in peaceful demonstrations. Join us. RSVP for the next Resistance Lab here:

Really, really hate to say it … but I told you so.

DEI initiatives are good for everybody – when there is more diversity at the table, we have more perspectives, more ideas, and more ways to build this country up. That’s what I'm working towards. 💜

Being undocumented in this country is not a crime. Our immigration system is civil, not criminal. The words we use matter. Let’s speak the truth.

The immigration system is a CIVIL system. It is NOT a crime to be undocumented.

I came here alone at 16 with hope in my heart. Today I watch masked agents drag people from their families and call it law enforcement. I refuse to let anyone forget what this country is supposed to be. I refuse to give ICE another dime to fund their reign of terror.
