I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

This is not meeting the moment. 7 other Dems voted in favor and ICE will still receive its funding. For someone whose job in leadership is to hold the line and whip our party, you failed to protect your district. Massachusetts deserves more. #AbolishICE
I will not rubberstamp the federal government's use of political violence against its own people.
I'm voting NO on Republicans' DHS bill.

Our global allies need to hear that Democrats firmly oppose these unhinged, illegal, imperial threats, @whipkclark.bsky.social. As your constituent, I demand you take action, uphold your oath, and file articles of impeachment.
I've just drafted an impeachment article against Donald Trump for threatening our allies with illegal seizure of territory.
Send this to your members of congress and demand they introduce it.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.
2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
