ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.
If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.
Trump’s Proud Boys Goon Squad ( aka ICE Agents), have complete immunity to force people to the ground and murder them.
Republicans who control Congress support this massacre in Our Streets.

Yes you do.
Low wages? That’s politics.
High prices? That’s politics.
War? That’s politics.
The world won’t spare you for not “doing” politics. Stay informed.
Seven Democratic Senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary:
Sen. John Fetterman (PA.)
Sen. Maggie Hassan (NH)
Sen. Tim Kaine (VA)
Sen. Andy Kim (NJ)
Sen. Gary Peters (MI)
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI)
All should face primaries.
I'd rather be talking about the mysteries of the universe than thinking about the stupidity of this world.
I stand in solidarity with the more than 31,000 Kaiser nurses and health care workers on strike in California and Hawaii.
It’s well past time for Kaiser to return to the table with a fair offer for their workers that includes safer staffing ratios and higher wages.
Alex Pretti’s coworkers hold a moment of silence for him.
Devastating and infuriating.
Nurses want peace.

The movement that will deliver progress for all Americans will be born out of the fight for Black liberation.
It will not come from anywhere else.
The systems that hold all working class Americans back are rooted in anti-Blackness.
Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with
@steelworkers.bsky.social for better wages, benefits & working conditions.
Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation.
I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.
Something that must change in Democratic politics is the belief that democracy is “drama.”
Primaries and challenging leadership aren’t “drama,” it’s democracy.
Hesitation to participate in democracy only leads to an erosion of it.
I stand with the 200 CNH Industrial
@uaw.org workers in Burlington, Iowa, fighting against corporate greed to protect their jobs.
CNH raked in $1.3 billion in profit and paid its CEO nearly $20 million last year alone.
CNH can afford to respect its workers and protect these jobs.

🧵Let’s talk about what DEI is.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion doesn’t mean people getting jobs because of their skin color, that’s what the absence of DEI does.
At one point, most professional sports leagues were white-only.
At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling.
Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends.
The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.
When the GOP calls every social safety net measure “socialism,” votes like this matter in a policy context.
House Minority Leader Jeffries voting with the GOP in favor of this resolution is showing his ultra-wealthy donors exactly who he fights for.
It’s not the people.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.
The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?
Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?
I doubt it.
Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.
But the struggle continues.
Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.
Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.
I’m saddened to learn that beloved Iowa community member and priest, Father Treviño has passed. He was a brave man who will be missed as a tireless voice and leader for the vulnerable. Let us carry forward his mission of justice. My condolences to his family and community.
I am extremely proud to support my good friend Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, Vice Mayor of Cincinnati, for re-election on Nov. 4th.
Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.
End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

If you’ve ever had to say “I ain’t got it right now” to someone, baby you’re part of the working class.
Rent and groceries are too high, and the amount people make is too low.
Talk to your coworkers about how much you all make, talk about the issues you are facing financially, these things are not shameful.
Working class Americans from all backgrounds must stick together.
In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:
While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.
Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

My org We Are Somebody is a leader of the Target Boycott.
We have been quietly organizing in the labor space for a little over two years for broad working class solidarity.
We all gotta stick together.
Join me and Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis-Gates this Wednesday at 8:30pm ET to discuss how working class Americans can organize in this moment.

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.
No phones, no staff, nothing.
I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
Yesterday, I asked Americans from across the country how a DOUBLING of monthly health care premiums would affect their families.
Responses have already come in, but we need more.

It’s October and we still do not know what the national Democratic Party’s vision is. That’s ridiculous.
Americans know our economy is rigged.
Billionaires become richer while working people can’t afford health care, housing & food.
If Trump wants my vote to fund the government, he must not raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million people or throw millions off health care.

I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎
Graduating to a hard top next session.
It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽♀️
