I am the proud daughter of immigrant parents. They both came to this country in their teens.

My mom is no longer with us. I miss her every single day. It is thanks to her that I have had an education & a non-profit career. A daughter of immigrants will work the hardest for you.

My mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, came to the United States from India at 19. She taught me and my sister, Maya, about courage and determination.

It is thanks to her that I am ready to lead us forward.

Justice Sotomayor speaking powerfully in her dissent.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”

❌ FALSE: “For 20 years…we were directing Alzheimer’s research to one hypothesis. And any other hypotheses were shut down.” - Sec. Kennedy

Over the last decade, less than 14% of new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Alzheimer’s projects focused on amyloid beta as the therapeutic target. Thanks to bipartisan support for Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding, scientists at the NIH have been able to explore a wide area of research. As of September 2024, the National Institute on Aging was investing in 495 pharmacological and non-pharmacological trials.

In addition, extensive research is underway to uncover ways to prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Identifying methods of prevention could save millions of lives and greatly reduce health care costs for families, Medicare and Medicaid.

A 107-year-old Chinese mother pulls out a sweet from her pocket and gives it to her 84-year-old daughter,

You’re always mums baby no matter how old

Happy Mother’s Day

On this day in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act took effect—marking the first major law to restrict immigration based on race.

Yet over a century later, we are seeing a return to immigration policy fueled by xenophobia. We CANNOT repeat this shameful chapter in our history.

[Terry Mock @TerrySueMock]

@Theholisticpsyc Grief, yes. But also a privilege. Now that my mom has passed and I spend more time with my dad, he often tells stories of when he lived in China - before coming to America. There’s beauty in his memories and I’m fortunate he’s sharing them with me.

This is heartbreaking. Fuck Trump and fuck every parent that voted for him. 😳👇

My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was the district attorney of San Francisco. I remember cooking meals for her and taking her to her appointments. I did what I could to make her comfortable. I figured out which clothes were soft enough that they wouldn't irritate her, and told her stories to try and make her laugh.

Caregiving is about dignity—not just for the patient, but also for the caregiver. We must lower the costs and ease the burdens faced by our caregivers to make it easier for them to provide care, while pursuing their aspirations.

Today, I am announcing a new historic Medicare at Home benefit as part of my plan to help families with caregiving needs and strengthen Medicare for the long-term. Over 67 million people are covered by Medicare, yet many Americans don’t realize that Medicare does not cover long-term services and assistance like home health aides.

As a result, many American families face challenging and sometimes impossible choices.

My plan will strengthen Medicare to cover home care services and support for seniors. This will include providing care workers with better wages, improving the quality of care for seniors and those with disabilities, and treating our seniors with the dignity they deserve.

44 days.

That’s all the time we have left until Election Day.

@KamalaHarris has the vision, strength, and compassion to lead this country forward. Make your voice heard—make a plan to vote early, vote by mail, or head to the polls. https://t.co/bBcatjmEym

Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.

This is personal to me. The middle class is where I come from.

My mother kept a strict budget. We lived within our means, yet we wanted for little. And she expected us to make the most of the opportunities that were available to us and to be grateful for them because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone.

As president, that’s why I will work to create an opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and succeed—whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city.

Thanks Joe.

AANHPI women working full-time make 93 cents on the $1 compared to white men for the same work—and the wage gap is even wider when data is disaggregated.

On #AANHPIEqualPayDay, it's time to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and close the gender wage gap.

My favorite part of It's Complicated is when Meryl Streep says, "i'm finally getting a real kitchen" when this is her current kitchen.

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

#OnThisDay, Congress repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act—allowing thousands of Chinese Americans to regain the right to citizenship & make the U.S. their home. 80 years later, the anti-Asian sentiment that fueled this racist policy still persists today. 🧵
