Great night for little-d democracy as voters reject the power grabs in KS Amendment 1 (State Supreme Court changes) & MO Amendment 4 (changes to citizen-led amendments).
BREAKING: We’re suing Trump. Again. Today, as part of a continuing case, we filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of federal employees against Trump’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for eliminating health insurance coverage for transgender healthcare.
This is one of the most extreme measures in the country. That policy is an open invitation for predators.

My thoughts are with Berlin’s LGBTQ+ community and all those affected by tonight’s terrible incident in what should have been a day of celebration and joy. Watching closely as more confirmed information comes out Germany.

10 years ago today, our community suffered an unthinkable tragedy at Pulse Night Club, when we lost 49 beautiful souls during the night club’s Latin night. Gun violence is an LGBTQ+ issue.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social · 4mo agoThank you @jonseidel.bsky.social for telling our stories. And for including my description of Andre, despite not commenting, as a “literal hero” — which is frankly an understatement. The government tried to paint us as villains. They’re going to do it to others. We won’t let them.
This case never should’ve happened in the first place. We fought back, refused to back down, and won.
Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre
Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.
🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!
Deeply honored and grateful to have the support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a leader who has never been afraid to put justice, humanity, and the truth ahead of political convenience. Her courage has helped blaze the path for so many of us.
🚨 1 DAY 🚨 Tomorrow is Election Day. Let’s finish strong. Phone bank, knock doors, or join our volunteer Discord to find out the most effective way to help us win!
“Kat is saying what those of us on the progressive side of the generation have been thinking all along – and does it in a way that resonates. She is trying to push the Democratic Party left, which, as she puts it, is actually pushing the party back to the center.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Representative Tlaib’s endorsement means so much to me personally. She’s set a true example for what it means to be deeply rooted in transformative progressive values that never compromise. I hope to join her in 2027 as the only other currently elected Palestinian in Congress!
“If I’m an opp, I’ve really taken the most painful route for it,” she said. “But I’m not, which is why AIPAC is trying to cause progressive infighting, and trying to peel young people away from our campaign. Because they know we can win.” - Kat Abughazaleh www.cnn.com/2026/03/14/p...

All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight. MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes: www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Horrified by reports of violence at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. We are thinking of those impacted and the entire Jewish community. Everyone deserves to be safe and free to worship without fear. Anti-semitism and all forms of hate must be eradicated.
Suspect in attack at Michigan synagogue is dead, officials say
Security officers at Temple Israel had "engaged the threat" that apparently started with a vehicle ramming into the building, according to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Now it makes sense why AIPAC just dropped over $1 million in attack ads & mailers against @katmabu.bsky.social. Kat's surging while AIPAC's candidate is floundering.
