Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

BREAKING: For some immigrants, Trump’s policy to end birthright citizenship can go into effectThe Supreme Court ruling could leave some immigrant families in legal limbo. It also weakens the power of lower courts to block Trump’s policies from taking effect. bit.ly/44A7ZeC

The weaponization of denaturalization - literally stripping people of American citizenship - is a big step further down the slippery slope of ethnic cleansing.

I can’t fully put into words the relief this ruling brings - honestly, I'm still in shock. I’m deeply grateful to our legal team and to the other plaintiffs in Orr v. Trump - their support has helped keep me grounded every step of the way. This fight isn’t over, and we’re not backing down!
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.
While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

BREAKING - A hardworking undocumented immigrant showed up to court - did everything right - and was ripped from his family on the spot. No warning. No mercy. Just gone. He paid taxes. He believed in the system. This is how we repay him. It’s disgusting.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Don’t transport people in shipping containers.
Pretty sure it’s considered inhumane and human trafficking.

For over a year and a half, the Israeli government has repeatedly used weapons supplied by America to break U.S. and international humanitarian law.
54,000 Gazans are dead. Half a million are on the brink of famine. We must pass the Block the Bombs Act and save lives.

People are being disappeared regularly now and the likely truth is that far more people are being disappeared than we realize, with only a few cases being "lucky" enough to get any attention or noticed.
A Bronx high school student was abducted by ICE at his immigration court date and has since been disappeared across four states in five days in order to evade contact with his lawyer.
The US is now undeniably a rogue state.
