Avelo Airlines thought it could profit off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive deportation flights.
But you grounded “ICE Air” and showed that organizing still works.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Trump’s military action against #Venezuela, without Congressional approval, is unconstitutional.
In December, I voted to restrict military action in Venezuela. The American people are looking for lower costs, not endless war.

What Grok/X has done is unprecedented. There are no other instances of a major company affirmatively facilitating the production of child pornography. Treating this as the inevitable result of generative AI and social media is a harrowing mistake.

Representation matters. Georgia’s Public Service Commission is over 100 years old and just now electing the first Black woman to ANY nonjudicial statewide office. While it's progress, it's way overdue. Our institutions should finally look like the people they serve.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
