2026 was the hottest summer on record since records began in 1895. Shockingly, Republicans are trying to stop ALL federal heat safety protection regs-NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. HR6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. Let's stop this! 1/

I don't hate. I don't hate anyone.
I don't hate cops. I don't hate Trump. I don't hate Nazis. My beliefs are composed thus:
First, that we should help each other.
And second, that we should protect one another.
I never want to see anyone get hurt. I never want to see good people, standing up for what they believe in, gunned down in the street. What we all saw happen to Renee Good and Alex Pretti is my worst nightmare.
It was the kind of thing I had feared for a long time, after dealing with officers who could be reckless, who could be bullies, who could be violent. But fear is not hate. Sadness is not hate.
Wanting people to live is not hate.People are being treated as if their lives do not matter. All of this is bigger than me. I know I am the person standing here. I know I am the person being judged. But I also know that a case like this can become a warning to everyone else: that if you speak, if you protest, if you try to protect someone, if you are associated with the wrong idea, you can be turned into a symbol instead of treated like a human being.
Nothing saddens me more than when I think about all of these different people and their different families and communities, and how they have suttered, and how unfairly they have been treated, just like me.
Whatever is taken from me is taken from you.
It may be these 22 strangers now, but it will be you tomorrow.What kind of people are not against the hate and war and genocide and concentration camps that the Nazi's brought upon the world?
What kind of people would not agree
The hate has migrated into the government. Now that hate is taking power over me. It is taking power over you, over your words and your ideas.
When will you be called a domestic terrorist, too?
When they killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, they went on TV and they called them domestic terrorists, the same day, within the hour.
When will that happen to you?
