Corporate consolidation means that when Meta goes down, we lose Facebook, Instagram, and Threads — an outage that hurts millions of Americans, their ability to communicate, and our collective public safety. It’s time to break up Big Tech.

Yes. Climate change is VERY real. In the Northeast, Burlington, Vermont has had its warmest winter on record. In the Southwest, Texas is experiencing its largest fire ever, torching more than 1 million acres. And it will only get worse.Ā We must act NOW.

We can and must create more pathways for legal and orderly migration, while working with our global partners in Latin America to find long-term, compassionate solutions to the instability driving people out of their homes. That is our path forward. (3/3) – at Washington, DC

As Democrats, we need to create an immigration system that's safe, orderly & humane. Republican officials are purposefully undermining the system for political gain & we shouldn't fall into the trap of adopting dangerous Trump-lite policies that are inhumane & don't work. (2/3) – at Washington, DC

Texas is trying to make it illegal to say that gender affirming care for minors is not bad. A complete and total free speech crisis, if anyone even cares about that stuff anymore.
Replying to @taygoldenstein
The Texas AG said that it is investigating PFLAG for violation of the state’s deceptive practices law by making ā€œmisrepresentationsā€ about gender transition care, according to the suit. Texas last year banned the care for trans children; a challenge is before TX Supreme Court.

VICTORY: A federal court just BLOCKED Texas’ anti-immigrant law #SB4 from taking effect March 5. This is a win for Texas values, human rights, and the Constitution. The State could try to appeal today’s decision — but we’re not backing down.

Deliberately cruel & unacceptable. If @WinsomeSears was unwilling to gender @pwcdanica correctly, she could have simply used her title: Senator Roem. The only reason you intentionally misgender a sitting legislator is because you want to show your cruelty to the world.
NEW: hearing @WinsomeSears referred to @pwcdanica on the @VASenate floor as "sir." Chamber has gone into recess twice after reportedly "Sears refused to apologize." "I'm not here to upset anyone, I'm here to do the job the ppl of VA have called me to do." #VALeg

Doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump. Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles - we should commit to them. The mere suggestion is outrageous and the President should refuse to sign it.
President Biden is considering executive action to restrict migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, sources tell CNN cnn.it/3SM5qiC

Almost half of Gaza’s population has taken refuge in Rafah. There’s nowhere else to go. The U.S. is funding this mass displacement and massacre of Palestinians. End the complicity! We must reclaim our humanity & facilitate a lasting ceasefire NOW.

It's clear @RolandForTexas knows what's at stake. Extremists are holding our country hostage. We have to beat them, not negotiate w/ them. We need energy & enthusiasm throughout every community in TX. Especially our diverse communities. Settling for breadcrumbs is not the way.
Who will the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board endorse for the Democratic primary: U.S. Congressman Colin Allred or Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez? Find out this Sunday, Feb. 11th.

Since October 7th, 27,478 Palestinians have been killed. 70% are women and children. 136 hostages remain unrescued. Most Gazans can’t access a hospital. That’s not war. It’s slaughter. Americans cannot afford another $17 billion on unconditional violence that risks regional war.
