Thank you @CAgovernor for signing #SB987 into law! This historic bill is an important step toward #CancerCareEquity in California and greater access to specialty cancer centers. https://t.co/QLbTUIaZeZ

Heartfelt gratitude: Thank A Teacher with @EAPDLA brings out dozens of Angelenos to honor professionals who make #PublicSchools work. 50-year L.A. teacher #CherylOrtega is ’22 awardee as Sen. Anthony @Portantino, @MitchOFarrell, @IngridGunnell, @drrivas2022 & more join in tribute

VICTORY! Unanimous vote by @TheCACoast sinks @Poseidon #desalination scheme that has threatened #HuntingtonBeach, California taxpayers, & coastal ecosystem for 20 years. Enormous win for #EnvironmentalJustice & partners in CA tribes, @AzulDotOrg @SierraClub @sunrisemvmt @EAPDLA

[Luis Lopez @LuisLopezLA]

Angelenos need bold leadership. @KarenBassLA answers the call. Electrifying campaign kick-off. Let’s do this! @EAPDLA @LADemocrats @PPact @LALCV @SierraClubLA_OC

“This Administration is going to be guided by #Science.” Healing words spoken today in my hometown: #Kalamazoo, hub for #Pfizer #COVID #vaccine output & where my dad worked 30 yrs as biochemist. Difference a humane President makes is measured in lives saved @JoeBiden @GovWhitmer

What does it mean to be progressive?

@HansPJohnson of Progressive Victory said being progressive means that politicians are responsive to the issues they prioritized during their campaigns: Solving the homeless crisis, improving healthcare access, and protecting public schools.

Inequality & hypocrisy are a curable sickness: I celebrate here the power of voting & resilience by #LGBTQ community. Conservatives have expanded state #SupremeCourts, in part to hold back equality. Now their extremism makes federal court reform necessary. https://t.co/cZ5k9GXtaj

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Back to basics, to overcome bigotry & build #BelovedCommunity. This brilliant story of #C4 advocacy by @VDLF_Action in Wisconsin bears witness to sacrifice by immigrant leaders & strong bonds of trust, born of fighting stigma. @maddow @Lawrence @JoyAnnReid https://t.co/uUOjZHKWe2

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

The more voters look, the more we dislike it: @IndivisibleSF shifts to #NOon24, joins @EAPDLA, @LWVC, @CHIRLA, all CA #ACLU affiliates, @consumercal & @ColorOfChange. Promoters “talk in vague terms about privacy”; “opponents talk about specific problems.” Sure sign of bad policy.

Biggest Dem group in CA @EAPDLA decries @LACoSheriff Villanueva for violent arrest of reporter @josie_huang & his ham-fisted bid to discredit @KPCC. Retaliation for prior coverage? @a_mendelson @libdenk @jaclyncosgrove @AleneTchek @MaryBethMcDade_ @timelfrink_dc @SchwartzReports

History beheld: Never before in American history have 3 former Democratic Presidents been alive to see their party’s convention, much less speak at it. Well done, @Glenn_Weiss & production team. #RiseUp #WeThePeople @BeschlossDC @jmeacham @LorraineAli https://t.co/UvU7npQmob

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Behold vandalism to #GoldenRule & Americans’ lives devalued. This is the casual sadism that treats labor & survival, anguish & love of many of us as expendable. It attacks bedrock of our nation. Enough! Thank you, @voces_milwaukee @repjocasta @Barrett4MKE https://t.co/G0EeL9HW32

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Let sunlight in! Today, @politico illuminates growing push by California Democrats for openness on costly @CA_Dem sexual assault & retaliation scandal. @IYADALOGY @LoriSaldanaSD @EAPDLA https://t.co/GdtesZ5X01

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Today @SacBeeEditBoard echoes & publishes our letter by @EAPDLA & 6 leaders in @CA_Dem party structure. State party must provide, not hide from its governing boards a report on long-running sexual abuse of party staff by former chair. @sacbee_news https://t.co/Szl6mdOnst

Signature achievement of decency turns 10: Thanks to hard work by 100s of Americans, we passed & preserved #AffordableCareAct. Protections we won save 1,000s of lives each year & improve #HealthcareQuality for all. Happy 10th, #ObamaCare, & many more. https://t.co/7GOPqNYMZY

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

As a kid, I overcame a speech impediment. I know mockery & shaming persist, even by those who’d never tease people with disabilities. But millions of Americans empathize with @JoeBiden. Ads to stigmatize his #stutter are backfiring. Thanks, @danrochewrites https://t.co/Nl5KArYeMP

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Above the law, which he opposed?@SenatorBurr was 1 of only 3 Senators in 2012 who voted against the #STOCKAct that bans insider trading by Senators & Members of Congress with privileged knowledge. https://t.co/PvfXttKOCj

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Defining story of decade? Struggle to win #MarriageEquality shaped my life & millions of Americans’. From 2010 case to #StopProp8 to #Obergefell moment in 2015 to fines this fall against defiant KY clerk #KimDavis & the #HallmarkKiss, dignity is overcoming stigma. @MSNBC @NBCNews

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

Because women have a right to their own stories. Because harassment & retaliation are tools of tyrants & indecency. Because we are jurors of democracy & the truth hurts & can set us free, but only when we know the facts of misconduct. Thanks, @DebraKatzKMB https://t.co/e81KPvOb2C

[HansJohnson @HansPJohnson]

I have devoted my life to overcoming bigotry & hate-based extremism, which thrives when Republican officials embrace & excuse it. This shows they CAN hold racist extremists accountable. They MUST do more of this. https://t.co/zp9rPMP0Tu
