The killing of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis is not an isolated tragedy, but part of a clear pattern of callous and inhumane disregard of life and law... Congress must Oppose Additional Funding for ICE and CBP in FY2026 DHS Bill. bit.ly/Stop_Ice_Fun... #UUSky

Across the US, people have been hurt or killed during close-proximity interactions with ICE, whether during raids, traffic stops, or civil monitoring. These interactions have been characterized by a reckless disregard for rights. Oppose $$ for ICE and CBP in FY2026 DHS Bill. bit.ly/Stop_Ice_Fun...

On #MLKDay, we’re sharing this post from The King Center as an invitation to sit with Dr. King’s full witness—not just the easy parts. His words on justice, nonviolence, and moral courage still speak to a moment marked by fear and dehumanization. #SideWithLove www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

"How do you hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope? How do we bring a nation together when we have lost the decorum of civility?" Martin Luther King Jr #MLKDay2026 #CivilDisobedience #StandUpToOppression

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." --Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.
