If Diane Feinstein were to resign right this very moment, California Governor Gavin Newsom could appoint her replacement, just as he did in 2020 after Kamala Harris became vice president. https://t.co/kPiDGI1mhV

Republicans are making it harder to administer elections. The GOP calculation is that even though red counties will be hurt from the loss of funding blue counties will be disproportionately hurt. This is a ruthless effort to cling onto statewide power.

No religious occasion should ever be celebrated by assaulting people from other religions, but as Hindu nationalism takes over India, that’s repeatedly what’s happening there.

"India’s Hindu festivals are increasingly being used by the ruling Hindu majoritarian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to rally voters, leading to an increase in violence. Record shows that it is usually Muslims who are unfairly targeted by the authorities."

Global fossil fuel subsidies in 2022: $1 trillion.

Estimated cost to reverse climate change: $300 billion.

We are giving Big Oil 3x more in handouts than it would cost to fix the damage they’ve caused. Let’s pass a Big Oil windfall tax and invest in a clean energy future.

How it started (2011) How it’s going (2023)

In 2011 while still in college and eager to learn, I got my first opportunity to work in the legislature. Yesterday, I finished my first legislative session as the youngest woman elected to the Georgia State Senate. #SineDie

Ambassador @ericgarcetti promised to make human rights a "core part" of the US-India relationship. But, as the Modi regime criminalizes the opposition party and builds towards an anti-minority genocide, will he keep his promise? Ambassador Eric Garcetti, your actions will tell.

No — Ramadan is not a new American tradition

25% of the enslaved Africans brought to North America were Muslims, and observed #Ramadan

Ramadan 🌙 was observed on this soil before the United States was a sovereign nation.

[Indian American Muslim Council @IAMCouncil]

India is becoming a global leader in censorship, and big tech is complying with its diktats.

This week, on the Indian government's legal requests @Twitter @elonmusk blocked 122 accounts belonging to journalists, authors, and politicians.

My first bill passed in the House yesterday 🎉

This bill would include voter registration as a goal in an individualized education program (IEP) for students with disabilities who are 17 years or older.

HB3643 passed with 93 votes in favor!

[Pieter Friedrich @FriedrichPieter]

Hey, so @CongressmanRaja can speak about human rights concerns in foreign countries! Congressman, being from India yourself, aren’t you deeply concerned by the de facto criminalization of the opposition party in the world’s largest democracy? Or do your donors not like it when you talk about that? #ModiDestroysDemocracy

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

The expulsion of Rahul Gandhi from parliament is a deep betrayal of Gandhian philosophy and India’s deepest values. This is not what my grandfather sacrificed years in jail for. @narendramodi you have the power to reverse this decision for the the sake of Indian democracy.

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

Rahul Gandhi has been disqualified from the Indian parliament a day after his conviction in a defamation case for criticising Narendra Modi. India revealing itself as quite the Mother of Democracy in the G20 year

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

Ramzan Mubarak India. May we continue to fight the good fight against the oppressors and the tyrants and speak for the oppressed, in every part of the world. May the spirit of Islam reflect in our words and actions as we strive for an equitable and just society. Inshallah

[Sonia Paul @sonipaul]

Senator Aisha Wahab (D-Hayward) has made history today by introducing the nation’s first statewide bill to explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of caste. https://t.co/mr5xmVkMxX

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I also believe that the people of East Palestine and Jackson, Mississippi deserve the same sense of urgency as depositors at SVB. Elected officials and the media need to step up not only in delivering tangible relief, but also recognizing human suffering that isn’t on the coasts.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

The run on SVB is a reminder of the need to impose strong financial regulations on banks. The Republican Party succeeded in passing the bill eviscerating Dodd-Frank against the warnings of progressives like myself and @BernieSanders.
