This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

How to defeat tech billionaire power? Look at Solano County. When billionaires invaded their community with plans to build a "tech utopia," Democrats AND Republicans banded together to fight back. In a triumph of local democracy, they stopped the project...for now. 🎁 www.wsj.com/us-news/sili...

Farm workers stand in solidarity with Haitian and Syrian TPS recipients after the Supreme Court’s cruel decision to allow the Trump administration’s discriminatory stripping of legal status. 

Both Syrian and Haitian immigrants have contributed immensely to our communities — including as farm workers. 

America should remain a place of refuge, welcome, and opportunity for those who need it, while workers must stand together regardless of status. The Trump administration’s attack on immigrants and workers must end.
