Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Far from Home is the story of Samira Faizi, an Afghan refugee who fled to India in 2021 and is now grappling with a limbo situation. It's an important story about refugee rights and migration, which is why I urge you to watch the film. Hope to see you there!

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.
