Today we celebrate Juneteenth and honor the resilience, leadership, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our history. Freedom is worth celebrating and protecting. Together, we can continue the work of building a more just and equitable future for all.

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Please understand that Steyer’s dirty & unethical campaigning, from his failed presidential run to now, is exactly how he’d govern. He cares only about buying power, & he’s showing you there’s no low he won’t stoop to & no limit on the amount of money he’ll burn through to get what he wants.

Are you ready, California? Vote by mail today or in person on June 2nd. Xavier Becerra for Governor.

The son of immigrants — standing in the city that shaped me, surrounded by the people I'm fighting for. This movement is real, it's growing, and we're just getting started.

We’re building real momentum across California. Now let’s finish strong. Vote by mail today or make your voice heard at the polls on June 2 🗳️

Proud to have the support of the Southern California District Council of Laborers and folks like Ralph! Their members help build and strengthen communities across our state through skilled work and dedication every day. Join them in supporting my campaign: XavierBecerra2026.com

Family first.

“Let’s be honest, the wealthy already have more than adequate representation at the highest levels of American government and influence. Billionaires and corporate elites dominate campaign financing, lobbying networks, major media ownership, think tanks, elite law firms, cabinet appointments,

Dolores Huerta endorses Xavier Becerra for Governor! Becerra isn't just a politician who asks for votes. He is the son of a farmworker who walked the picket lines as a child. Huerta spent her career fighting for the legal right of farmworkers to organize.

Becerra took $39k from Chevron. He also sued Big Oil repeatedly, blocked Trump's drilling agenda, & defended CA's emissions rules. Steyer made BILLIONS off fossil fuels (including COAL & OIL SANDS), he financed projects that INCREASED extraction. The damage from his wealth dwarfs a tiny donation.

As Governor, Xavier Becerra will infuse climate policy with environmental justice, focusing on communities hit first and worst by pollution. He has a proven track record to back it up.

LA Progressive endorses Becerra for Governor! “Becerra brings genuine strengths to this race. He is widely regarded as thoughtful, decent, & deeply experienced in public service.”

It’s not theoretical that a billionaire would make populist promises, buy office, then funnel money to his family while cutting services for everyone else. Trump turned the White House into a slush fund (family wealth up $4B since taking office).

The Sierra Club endorsed Steyer, a billionaire who made his fortune from coal & private equity, because he "provided resources to the climate movement," meaning: he funded them.

Bill McKibben criticized Xavier Becerra for taking a small, unsolicited Chevron donation, but he supports Tom Steyer, a billionaire who made his fortune from coal & private prisons.

Steyer stans are leaning heavily into his endorsements from environmental groups while leaving out the fact that many of those same organizations have received significant funding from Steyer & his family foundations.

White lefties like @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social & enviros like @leahstokes.bsky.social don't care about the Jerusalem cross Steyer draws on his hand EVERY DAY, or about the racist posts his campaign has put out. They don't care that when he ran for President,

Honored to have Rep. Jim Clyburn in my corner. He and I fought side by side in Congress for the ACA, Social Security, and working families. His trust means everything. Let's finish the fight — as California's next governor.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Dolores Huerta. A relentless champion for working people and justice, she laid the foundation for so much of the progress we’ve made—and the work still ahead.

My record speaks for itself. I’ve never hesitated to hold polluters accountable. When bad corporate actors threaten the health of our communities, we need to stand up and fight back.

NEW POLLING: We continue to lead the Democratic field. Californians are ready for leadership that puts people first. I’ve dedicated my career to protecting health care, lowering costs, defending our freedoms, and creating opportunity for every community. Join us: XavierBecerra2026.com

Proud to have the endorsement of Assemblymember Blanca Rubio and to stand alongside her in advocating for Californians. We are united in our belief that children, immigrant communities, and vulnerable people deserve safety, stability, and opportunity.

Every vote counts! Vote by June2! Governor: Xavier Becerra Lt. Governor: Michael Tubbs Secretary of State: Shirley Webber Controller: Malia Cohen Treasurer: Anna Caballero Attorney General: Rob Bonta Insurance Commissioner: Jane Kim US CD6: Richard Pan A little bit more about each below. 🧵

Yesterday was our biggest fundraising day ever. California - thank you for showing up for a son of immigrants. This is what a people-powered campaign looks like. If you're ready for a fighter in the Governor's office, join us: XavierBecerra2026.com

This is despicable. ICE is out of control.

$15 MILLION agreement to detain abducted men, Sen. Van Hollen says. That’s our money. Yet another reminder that we’ve got plenty of money to pay for good stuff that actually helps our communities.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Not sure how these people sleep at night

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Quite the coinky-dink that all these economic collapses always happen under Republican presidents.

I'm old enough to remember when, in the early days of the pandemic, @governor.ca.gov's then Sr. Climate Policy Advisor Kate Gordon tweeted about the need to incorporate remote work as a climate solution. For this and many other reasons RTO mandates are not it, Governor.

❝Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, … 1/3

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Lemkin Institute issues a red flag alert for gcide in the US. So many of us tried to warn you all well before the election 🚩

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it. Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

"It's snowing in Florida - where's global warming now?!" If you've ever thought that (or heard anyone else say it), I have a Global Weirding episode for you!

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

“I have been prepared for evil, for greed, for cruelty, for injustice – but I did not anticipate that the people in power would also be such huge losers.”
