This week Rep. Abdullahi and I testified on HB 489, to repeal Ohio’s anti-boycott law that chills free speech on campuses and beyond. No one should be forced to take a political stance to work with the state.

Honored to receive @CAIROhio Champion of Justice Award with Rep. Abdullahi. Civil Rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer said it best: “Ain’t nobody free until everybody’s free.” Justice means standing up for everyone, & against genocide and oppression everywhere. #freepalesti̇ne 🇵🇸

I’m trying to repeal Ohio’s Israel Boycott ban. We shouldn’t have to swear alliance to any foreign nation to do business with the state.

Everyone deserves healthcare, everyone! We can’t fall for inhumane lies that deny care based on immigration, work status, or income. We have the resources, no one should be excluded. Healthcare is a human right. Refuse to let them strip people of their humanity.

Extortion is his MO. Trump’s $100,000 fee on every H-1B visa isn’t about fairness or jobs… it’s a shakedown. It tells the world’s best and brightest: pay up or stay out. That’s how you weaken America, not strengthen it.

🇺🇸 Today is Constitution Day. The Constitution is a promise that “We the People” are the authors of our government. Let’s honor it by protecting rights, expanding justice, and building a more perfect union together.

Alongside Rep. Sean Brennan, I introduced legislation to finally ban radioactive oil and gas brine from being spread on Ohio roads. These so-called “de-icers” are loaded with radium and heavy metals, putting our health, our waterways, and our communities at risk.

This pisses me off!! DeWine is sending Ohio Guard to D.C. for a manufactured crisis — political theater, not public safety!!

Sales taxes are regressive, so I’m happy we can get a little break from these taxes, even just briefly — makes life a little more affordable.

Children in Gaza are being killed just for trying to get food. Aid lines have become death traps, over 1,000 Palestinians, including children, have been shot or starved while seeking basic survival.
This is not “war.” This is genocide. #Gaza #StopTheKilling

Immigrants & refugees make Cleveland stronger!
Today we cut the ribbon on the Roundstone Pavilion, an urban farm & kitchen on public housing land making fresh food accessible to CMHA residents while supporting immigrant & refugee entrepreneurs. Welcome to your American dream, right here!!

Stripping citizenship from critics? This is authoritarianism, plain and simple. First it’s immigrants, then the opposition, then LGBTQ people, then Jews, minorities. That’s the playbook, silence everyone until no one’s left to fight back.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
July 4th, 1776 was the declaration. Freedom came only after a bloody war. Our democracy was never guaranteed, it’s always been something we had to fight for.
Now it’s our turn.
Now we don’t just celebrate, we organize, we resist, and we fight to keep it. 🇺🇸✊

It’s been over a year they’ve shown up, negotiated in good faith, and still AirGas is dragging its feet.
These workers aren’t asking for the moon they’re demanding fairness, respect, and a contract.
No more delays. No more excuses.

I stood with our immigrant communities today to oppose HB 1 & SB 88. These bills weaponize fear to push racist, anti-immigrant property bans. Ohio should protect rights—not punish people for where they’re from. #NoToHB1 #NoToSB88 #OhioAgainstHate

Trump just dragged us back into war in the Middle East. 30,000 pound bombs dropped… 40,000 U.S. troops now on high alert sitting ducks.
No vote. No debate. No strategy.
Just one man’s ego lighting the fuse on another forever war. We’ve seen this movie before. It ends in blood, lies, and blowback.
