This was my brother who had DS & Alzheimers. Music brought him so much joy throughout life, but it really helped keep him happy during Alzheimers. He benefitted from DEI & an education-he worked in a salon, washing towels, making coffee & sweeping hair & the customers loved him. Best person I knew!

College graduates are entering one of the worst job markets and Trump is ending student loan forgiveness (SAVE) which allowed repayment based on income. Also denying all new applications due to claim of increasing federal debt but still give tax breaks to billionaires.

Hatred or discrimination against Jewish people doesn’t only harm Jews—it damages society as a whole.

When antisemitism is tolerated, it weakens shared values like dignity, justice, & humanity, leaving everyone diminished, not just the direct targets.

Our immigrant neighbors are living with fear most Americans never have to face. They need allies, not bystanders.
Show up. Speak up. Share the load.
Solidarity is not optional right now.

Trump claims "affordability is a scam". That truly is rich coming from a billionaire!

Working families and retirees like me feel the pinch from his economy daily.

Affordability isn't a scam—it's a crisis! Thanks @RepJimmyGomez for calling it out. #TrumpInflationCrisis

Release the Epstein Files!

The sexual predators who raped and abused girls need to be held accountable, and certainly should be removed from positions of power.
#ReleaseTheFiles
Reminder…you have a sexual predator in the WH. in this page from the House Oversight Committee, you’ll see that Diddy Rump is specifically named.
He, & all other predators & enablers deserve consequences.
Survivors deserve justice.
We the people deserve the truth. #ReleaseTheFiles

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

Hate is violence.
Hatred against Jewish people is skyrocketing & deadly.

There's no justification for racial,ethnic or religious hatred.

There's no excusing the indifference of those who shrug at the cruelty of bigotry & intolerance.

Will you stand against hatred towards Jewish people?
Speak out!

...after taking and breaking her phone. She was able to call, after four weeks, on another detainee's phone to get a lawyer and let her family know where she was. During that time she bad no idea what had happened to her son while she was being detained.

This is just cruel.
