Tashara Parker: How do you plan to engage Gen-Z, despite them feeling disillusioned with Politics?
James Talarico: I also feel that frustration. What I'm trying to do is focus us not on any one party. But on the system itself, I don't want to treat symptoms. I want to cure the disease.

Trump’s deeply racist social media post is another reminder of his bigotry and the racism Black Americans face every single day.
We have to take steps to root out prejudice from our communities. That includes the President.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

The Dilley detention center should be shut down immediately. Because of the close-quarter conditions at Dilley, lack of prompt medical response and capacity, and lack of expertise with diseases such as measles, Dilley is not equipped to combat any spread.

Please call your Senators and congressional representatives to please, please save Liam !😢
I was watching independent media & was report that little Liam might be ill. He sleeps all day. So heartbreaking. He should be in school with his friends. I'm so tired of inhuman treatment of immigrants. ICE needs to be abolished.

ICE needs to be DISMANTLED NOW. Unconditionally. Not “Reigned In” (Sorry Tina Smith), not Reformed. ICE is an agency that is operating outside the law and murdering people. ICE is not redeemable. Alex & Renee deserve Justice. END ICE.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.
