“Being who you are should never be a crime.”
— On Sunday’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, @antonioguterres stresses the UN’s commitment to stand with all members of the human family, without discrimination of any kind.

Democracy requires constant defense. It does not maintain itself.
Republicans want to require citizenship documents to vote in federal elections.
On its face, it sounds administrative. In practice, it would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters — disproportionately Black, brown, and low-income Americans.
This is not about election integrity. There is no evidence of widespread non-citizen voting.
This is about who gets to participate in democracy.
I believe in a democracy that is accessible to every eligible citizen. Not just the ones who happen to have their papers.
We will fight this legislation with everything we have.
For too long, Africa’s resources have been extracted, the value captured elsewhere, the environmental damage left behind.
No more exploitation. No more plundering.
The people of Africa must benefit - first & most - from the resources of Africa.
In the United States we need hundreds of new hospitals and health clinics.
We need thousands of new child care centers.
We need millions of new units of affordable housing.
We do NOT need to spend another $500 billion on the military for endless wars.
I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire & the planned large-scale exchange of prisoners between Ukraine & Russia.
I commend the efforts of the USA in facilitating this agreement & fully support its implementation.
I reiterate my call for an immediate, full, unconditional & lasting ceasefire, as a first step toward a just, sustainable & comprehensive peace, in line with the @UN Charter & international law.
Health care is a human right.
Not a privilege. Not a product. Not something you earn by working at the right company.
Every person in this country deserves to see a doctor without going broke. We keep fighting until we get there.
The function of a rational healthcare system is NOT to provide huge profits to insurance companies.
It is to guarantee healthcare to all as a human right.
We must no longer be the only major country without universal healthcare.
We must pass Medicare for All.
🚨: The quantum equation suggests that the Big Bang never occurred—and that the universe has no beginning.
If the Universe never began, can it ever truly end?
My phone doesn’t stop ringing. Constituents. Organizers. Families who woke up this morning not knowing if their loved ones are coming home.
This is the reality Trump has built. An America where immigrants live in fear every single day.
I’ve spent my whole career fighting for the dignity of immigrant communities. I’m not stopping now.
It's Europe Day!
Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for.
And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe.
Because all together, we are Europe.
Happy Europe Day!
All freedom depends on press freedom.
Without it, there can be no human rights, no sustainable development & no peace.
On this World Press Freedom Day, let's protect the rights of journalists & build a world where the truth & the truth-tellers are safe.
Let May Day be a reminder of the courage of workers across the world demanding peace, fair wages, and better working conditions.
History demands more than standing with workers in spirit. We must fight alongside them in Congress every day.
@Rep_Stansbury It's we the people not us the people. That move was very wrong and they know it. We must continue on and fight for our rights . Long live our Democracy and freedom we will prevail.
You can cut me off—but you cannot silence us!
Even as the Supreme Court has dealt a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act—we will continue to organize, mobilize, and push forward—just as generations have before us!
They want us exhausted.
They want us demoralized.
They want us to decide the fight isn't worth it.
Hopelessness is not an accident. It's a strategy. And we refuse to fall for it.
I have been the lead sponsor of Medicare for All in the House for years.
People ask me why I keep pushing when it feels impossible.
Because 100 million people in medical debt is not a policy inconvenience. It is a moral emergency. And you don't stop in a moral emergency.
We organize, we push, we win. 💜
