Daysi González is a political consultant who works on campaigns to elect Democrats across the country. She is also one of an estimated 200,000 Salvadorans whose legal immigration status is set to expire on September 9th—and one of about a million immigrants in the widening gyre of the Trump Administration’s delegalization drive. Her mentor and boss, Chuck Rocha, has been trying to pull all the strings he can to help her stay in the U.S. “You mean I can’t call a senator? I can’t call the chairman of the Hispanic Caucus and just fix this shit?” he said. González is planning to go back to El Salvador—a place where she has few relatives left, and where, although Rocha has offered to keep her as a remote worker, she’s not sure she’ll be able to keep her job. Jesus Rodríguez talks to her about her self-deportation: https://t.co/rAyVgCUy46
If there’s one takeaway from this non-story circulating about Zohran’s creator program, it’s that @EmiliaWinterRo is insanely good at her job. She has literally built the online blueprint for how government can actually show up for the people it serves. 🧵
We're excited to endorse @lachicamayra for the U.S. House in #IL04. Mayra has dedicated her life to addressing the needs of families—from protecting immigrant communities to expanding economic opportunity. She's the kind of leader we need in Congress.
Honest question: what would have happened if Chuy’s Chief of Staff had *NOT* filed minutes before the deadline, and there was simply no Democrat officially running for the seat?
In 2018, when I moved to D.C. to intern and later work for a Dem committee, it wasn’t a luxury for me or my family — it was a sacrifice. Financially, I had to rely on student loans just to cover the move and survive on a $35k assistant salary but I knew I had to make it work
So if you’re senior-level strategist, cheering for a full return-to-office policy, I ask you to reflect on who gets left behind by these decisions and how they neglect the very entry-level opportunities we so much claim to be investing in.
Statement from Indivisible sums it up; "We hope to celebrate the Democratic Party for fighting back. But if they surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights."
I'm canceling my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify https://t.co/PPh1lhTj2f
I can't give my money to a corporation that is profiting from the agency targeting our immigrant communities #CancelSpotify now until they agree to stop running these ICE recruitment ads. @Spotify#Spotify
No, Speaker Johnson:
The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally.
Quite the contrary.
It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.
Outrageous. Unacceptable. Infuriating.
It is estimated that 6,000 veterans have likely been fired by DOGE.
The federal government should be protecting veterans’ jobs, not stripping them of their livelihoods.
