If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
Let’s have a little fun. No presidential picks, but let’s talk Cabinet posts. What would be the Dream Team? I nominate Jack Smith as Attorney General. Next?
In America, one health care company can own: Your doctor Your pharmacy Your insurance AND the middleman between your pharmacy and insurance. That means more profits for giant companies and higher costs for you. That's not right — and I have a bill to stop it.
Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
ICE isn't about immigration or border security—it’s an unchecked paramilitary force built for authoritarian control! Abdul El-Sayed speaks the bold truth: your Constitution exists to protect you from tyranny, not enforce it. It's time to stand up for real freedom! #AbdulForSenate 🎥 AbdulElSayed

We came home from Seattle and, after a few minutes of not speaking to daddy for leaving, all is forgiven. The purring is deafening.

Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!
Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.
