Data center buildouts are surging, including in my own county. I spoke in support of a resolution on data centers at my County Board of Commissioners meeting - a resolution I spearheaded as Chair of the County's Environmental Council.

Due to a lack of air traffic controllers, my already delayed flight is still 30+ in line to leave Philadelphia.

Mr Trump, you just don't give a shit about anyone but yourself, do you? Not stressed air traffic controllers. Not flight attendants & passengers. And not immigrants. Planes in line ⬇️

Act now: demclimate.org/FedWorkers

Data we pay for as taxpayers belongs to US. #FederalWorkers who make sure we have access and leaders across the country can make informed decisions are essential, NOT expendable.

In DC today joining allies in fighting for clean water, safe water, public lands - and for California to keep the right to regulate vehicle emissions. I grew up in California and I know personally what a big difference their regulations made for the health of people like me who have asthma.

America’s federal workers keep our air safe and our water clean. Write to Congress. Stop the firings: demclimate.org/FedWorkers

Honored to speak, on the 62nd Anniversary of MLK's historic Letter from Birmingham Jail, alongside UM Prison Creative Arts Project's Nora Krinitsky and Mattie Levy. I spoke to the continued relevance of Dr. King's words, actions and calls for peaceful protests and marches.

The National Weather Service staff saves lives, homes and businesses with warnings like today's for where I live. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to it. He doesn't give a crap about ordinary working Americans.

Tell Congress: Support federal workers & stop the firings demclimate.org/FedWorkers
