Congratulations to Chasity Verret Martinez on her election to represent House District 60.
She was outspent 3-to-1 and still won. This is what happens when grassroots Democrats show up and organize.
Proud of this win and excited to keep building power together. #LaDemos

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

In the years I've worked on the history of the Hotel Lux in the Comintern era, I never imagined I would ever speak with someone who remembered it.
But last week I received an email from someone who is about to turn 100 - and he had a story to share.
So excited to write up this encounter.

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

Trump may need Greenland but they sure don’t need us. They would have to give up too much to join a society that hates education, has healthcare for the wealthy, and history shows how we treat native populations living on land we want. Trump doesn’t even hide the fact that he only wants resources

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.
We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Democrats must remember this — and act on it.
