Jeanette Vizguerra was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2017. She survived the first Trump administration without being deported. Now she's in ICE custody.
Trump & Republicans want to slash billions from Medicaid—risking care for 80M Americans, 8M home care recipients & coverage for 40% of births—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. Gutting this lifeline harms kids, parents, seniors & disabled folks. We didn’t vote for this. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Loved joining @jonstewart last night and sharing how we supercharged @WisDems.
We beat a rigged Republican supermajority and brought democracy back to our state.
Let's do this nationwide.
Today's ruling to restore collective bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin is a victory for working families.
It's clear that Scott Walker’s attack on public employees was not just a national disgrace, it was unconstitutional.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
¿Cómo encajarán la derrota los demócratas? ¿Habrá reformas? ¿Son posibles?
Hablo en @lamarea_com con @ericas.

In this moment of fear and uncertainty, we pledge to fight Trump's deportation agenda and demonization of immigrants. We will continue Chicago's proud tradition as a welcoming city and sanctuary city. We will keep our neighbors and communities safe.
Honored to be the first Black trans woman elected to public office in Cook County tonight. Together, we’ve made history. Over the next two years, I’ll fight to protect Lake Michigan, champion environmental justice, and amplify voices too long ignored. The work continues.
It has always been up to all of us to build the communities of solidarity, resistance, and care we need, together. Let’s turn to each other and prepare to continue the fight in old and new ways.
See you in the organizing meetings, on the picket lines, in the streets.
In response to the racist vitriol I’m listening to right now let me say: migrants and undocumented Chicagoans ARE Chicagoans. Their home is HERE. And we are not letting them be stolen away from their communities.
We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.
Progressive swing state friends: I know many of you are conflicted about voting for Harris. I'd encourage you to check out this video as well as https://t.co/9LkNwwnWqc! #VoteLikeARadical
Rashida Tlaib is doing GOTV in Michigan. The Uncommitted movement are up on the air with anti-Trump ads.
These folks deserved so much better from the party. But in spite of it all, they know how much is at stake and they're throwing in to fight against the fascist movement.
