Arizona just revived a near-total abortion ban from 1864. In 1864:

- Only white men could vote
- Slavery wasn't fully abolished
- Most women could not own property
- The age of consent was 9-years-old

Republicans want to take away our rights & freedoms. We cannot let them.

Right now, latinos, immigrants, people of color are the target of Trump's hateful rhetoric and campaign. We cannot allow him to be elected.

When defense contractors pad their profits, fewer weapons reach Ukrainians on the frontlines.

Such greed doesn’t just cost U.S. taxpayers; it costs Ukrainian lives.

Congress must rein in war profiteering, take back excess payments, and create a tax on windfall profits.

Donald Trump has no compassion in his DNA.

He couldn't care less that hundreds of thousands of human beings are starving to death.

History will judge what we do right now.

History will judge whether we stand with starving children, whether we uphold America’s professed values, or whether we continue to blindly finance Netanyahu’s war machine.

Do I have strong disagreements with Pres. Biden?

Yes, I do.

But I believe that we can move him toward a more progressive agenda.

Our first priority must be defeating Donald Trump.

The CEO of Blackstone earned more money last year than all of the striking hotel workers in L.A. are asking for in over a four year period.

We are sick and tired of the greed of corporate America.

Workers deserve a decent life, and UNITE HERE Local 11 deserves a decent contract.

Unions not only lead to higher wages and better benefits.

They build community. They bring working people together for a cause greater than ourselves.

I discuss unions and the future of work in the latest episode of my podcast: buzzsprout.com/2331318/148195…

Let me applaud the President for using every possible tool to reduce student debt. Instead of giving more tax breaks to billionaires as Trump has proposed, Pres. Biden is providing financial relief to millions of low-income & working class Americans. It’s the right thing to do.

I was proud to join the courageous UNITE HERE Local 11 hospitality workers on the picket line yesterday in downtown LA. They’re part of a growing movement of workers who are standing up to corporate greed across this nation. You are an inspiration to us all.

Solidarity forever.

No graduate student worker should be struggling to make ends meet when Boston University has a $3 billion endowment. These workers deserve a living wage and strong benefits. Boston University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

Despite the incredible wealth and power of the pharmaceutical industry – believe it or not they have over 1,800 well-paid lobbyists right here in D.C. – we are beginning to make some progress in lowering the cost of prescription drugs in this country.

Donald Trump’s hypocrisy is outrageous.

Behind closed doors, he tells his billionaire friends he’ll make them even richer.

Not quite what he’s saying at his rallies.

As Americans are giving up on government and democracy, the time is long overdue for Congress to stand up for the working people of our country. And an important step in that direction would be implementing a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.

Dean Preston is a progressive leader who is not only prepared to stand up to special interests, but also has the courage to address striking levels of wealth and income inequality at their core.

I am proud to support his campaign for SF Board of Supervisors.

We need pro-labor champions who are prepared to take on corporate interests in Congress.

That’s why I’m proud to support John Morse for Congress in Maryland’s 3rd District.

Trump is practicing Demagoguery 101.

He’ll never take on the rich and powerful.

There is growing opposition to Netanyahu's war machine. More Americans than ever are standing up against this horrific war in Gaza, which is causing tremendous suffering amongst the Palestinian people.
