Cops led us into the street as the new āprotest zoneā and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

What ICE just did to me was a violent abuse of power ā and yet itās nothing compared to what theyāre doing to immigrant communities. Iāve been fighting the right as a journalist and now Iām running for Congress to do the same in DC. Because we deserve leaders who will actually stand up for us.

U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for: 700,000 public housing units 500,000 low-income kids receiving health care 500,000 veterans receiving VA care 600,000 kids in Head Start Combined.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahuās extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahuās war machine.
