His passionate, compassionate overnight speech about our values, and the state of our Democracy brought the 🔥🔥 we need to preserve, and proliferate the party. @booker.senate.gov Sir, you lead the way. 👏👏👏👏

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Federal workers in the Seventh District & across the country were fired without reason or legal standing. This is a step in the right direction.

We are fighting back. We will win this.

NEW: In a new filing, we argue Mahmoud Khalil's detention by ICE violates his rights to free speech and due process.

President Trump can't arrest, detain, and threaten to deport someone because of their speech. Along with @nyclu.org and the rest of Mahmoud’s legal team, we won’t back down.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
