No one should fear for their safety in a faith house or anywhere in America. I condemn this violent attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego and pray for the victims and everyone impacted. Islamophobia and hate in all its forms have no place in our society, and we must root it out once & for all.

I can't believe she's only 3 years older than I am (hate shows up on your face)... Anyway, we're the same cohort. She has absolutely no excuse for doubling down on feigned ignorance.

Hung Cao and I are the same age. We are both Vietnamese refugees. I take no pride in this man’s accomplishments. I loathe his antiblackness and his full embrace of MAGA white supremacist Christian nationalism. Vietnamese people, you have a choice. Don’t choose to be like this.

Happy ‘Sinners’ Day! One year ago, Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners,’ released in theaters.

ICYMI: After months of organizing, the House passed my legislation to extend TPS for Haiti for another 3 years. This is a massive victory for our Haitian neighbors who contribute so much to our communities daily. The Senate must pick up this critical priority without delay.

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

Organizations like MSF are *exactly* who needs a drug like lenacapavir, because the populations that MSF serves are *exactly* the people who have a high risk of contracting HIV and a reduced ability to take a daily pill.

What a fiasco - pretty much every PW Dem is calling on the Dem nominee for Woodbridge District to step aside over alleged social media posts containing "racial slurs, antisemitic rhetoric, misogynistic language, xenophobic elements" etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/03/mond... h/t @PotomacLocal

And I better not see anyone try to whitewash The Rev. Jesse Jackson.

"In his...'Keep Hope Alive' speech, Jackson provided a model for a Democratic politics...that takes identity and class seriously, that understands their relationship and interplay, that appeals to common identities and forges responsive solutions." www.slate.com/articles/new...

and i wrote this a decade ago about jackson as the model response to trump-style politics www.slate.com/articles/new...

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

I think about this often. Like, daily.

The official receipt hasn't hit my inbox yet (the site is probably processing a lot of donations) but the first $1,000 raised for MN mutual aid and relief has been sent to Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. We actually have already hit 1.5k and I am hoping to restock!!
