I want to thank Governor Newsom, Speaker Rivas & colleagues in supporting fair redistricting to protect our democracy. This is more than lines on a map, it’s about ensuring every voice counts. The stakes couldn’t be higher: we will defend the Voting Rights Act & protect marginalized communities.

California will not allow Trump to steal our democracy. This morning I stood with state legislators, congressmembers, union leaders, nonprofits & Governor Newsom to defend our democracy. This is not a drill. This ain’t Texas.

Don’t tread on democracy, Texas—unless you want to find out what happens when CA fights back.

As CA leaders came together to defend our democracy, Trump sent ICE to the doorstep of our rally—like a thug trying to silence dissent

It was cruel, cowardly, and an attack on our First Amendment rights!

These ICE raids aren’t about public safety or violent criminals. Most of the people being detained have no criminal record. This is a racist attack on immigrants and Californians of color, and it must stop.

Take a look at how your legislators are taking action 👇

Happy Heavenly Father's Day to both my dad and my husband, Tom. 💙

It's fitting that Father's Day falls within Men's Health Month — a good reminder to check in with the fathers and father figures in your life.
Sending love to all, and holding space for those for whom this day is difficult.

Happy Father’s Day to my dad, a high school dropout from a poor immigrant Czech family.

After serving in the Korean War, he used the GI Bill to pursue a second chance at an education, becoming a college professor.

I carry his lessons—in & out of the classroom—with me every day. #HappyFathersDay

Darn right.

The federal government is targeting immigrants in ways that are not only cruel- they’re unconstitutional.

ICE’s aggressive tactics are tearing families apart, sowing fear in our neighborhoods, and undermining the very fabric our community.
