Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

We got 800 applications for a customer service job opening in the last few days.

We pay a living wage ($70k+), full benefits, 401(k), paid parental leave, let people work where they want.

There's no labor shortage. There's a shortage of jobs treating people with basic respect.

So my wife renewed her DACA again. Two more years, until 2024! It got me thinking about how there is a not-insignificant population of young immigrants who will have lived with DACA for an entire decade this year, including my wife. Ten years lived in two year intervals.

Stop killing and injuring children.
Children in Ukraine are being profoundly traumatized by the violence all around them.
They need peace now.

In all corners of the globe, including in Russia itself, people are calling for the end of Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine. The blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag is being flown around the world as people and governments assert they are #UnitedWithUkraine.

Illinoisans of every ability deserve opportunities to engage in meaningful work with standard pay.

As voting rights continue to come under attack across the country, we must further the legacy of John Lewis and protect our right to vote.

I’m a cosponsor of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act because must #RestoreTheVote. I'm proud to vote for #HR4 today.

@RepCasten thank you for being a champion for #ClimateAction

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate crisis is a child rights crisis.

Around 1 billion children live in countries that are at extremely high-risk to the effects of the climate emergency, according to @UNICEF.

The time for #ClimateAction is now.

Inaction is not an option. https://t.co/bQnjiVRzOL

Only with women’s equal participation across all spheres will we benefit from the intelligence & experience of all of humanity.

Building an equal future is a job for everyone – and for the benefit of everyone.
