This woman is risking jail and lashes to show the regime and the rest of the world that women of Iran are brave enough to say #No2Hijab. In Iran #WalkingUnveiled is a crime but women took to the streets today to challenge gender apartheid. Be our voice.

We must do what we can to contain Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. But we also need to be clear-eyed about it, and face the costs.

As I’ve said before, economics can’t be separated from politics, and neither can be separated from history.

As I told Congress last week, Medicare for All is inevitable because current healthcare trends are unsustainable. The only real question is how much unnecessary pain, suffering, and cost Americans will have to endure before we get there. https://t.co/M1dPuZCBBL
