Europe did feudalism & then was the battleground for two world wars - only then did those societies finally realize maybe there should be a social safety net for the working class...it'd be good if America didn't have to go through those nightmares to come to the same conclusion

Big Tech wants to build AI data centers across this country – using your water, your power grid, and your tax dollars – with zero accountability for how that technology is used against you. I introduced the AI Civil Rights Act because the people building these systems should have to answer to the people affected by them. No algorithm, no matter how smart it may be, is above the law – period.

The SAVE Act is about making sure only the “right people” are allowed to vote. If those who wanted to limit voting to the “right people” in the 1960s had succeeded, I wouldn’t be a Senator.

68,000 Americans die every year because they can’t afford healthcare, 800,000 are homeless and 42% of cancer patients go bankrupt or lose their homes to foreclosure or eviction within 2 years of their diagnosis.

Being undocumented is not a crime. Being born is not a crime. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Building a life in this country is not a crime. We won’t let Trump rewrite the law to fit his cruel agenda.

Any company that can afford to pay their CEO millions of dollars every year can afford to pay their workers enough to put food on the table.

BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.

WATCH — @SenatorWarnock: “ICE has more funding than the Marines. And Republicans are saying ‘if you don’t give this overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, we’re going to leave TSA workers unpaid.’” 🤔

You can be on the side of Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison & Jensen Huang, worth $551 billion, who are working to replace your job with a robot or you can be on the side of the working class who want to tax the rich & put a moratorium on AI data centers. Which side are you on?

They have money to bomb schools overseas. And build data centers that raise our energy bills and pollute our water. And to buy giant warehouses to imprison our neighbors. NEVER take "we can't afford it" as an excuse again. They're choosing profit over taking care of us.

Netanyahu: I need $19.8 billion Trump: Approved Hegseth: I need $1.5 trillion Trump: Approved Argentina: We need $40 billion Trump: Approved Qatar: We need an Air Force Base in ID Trump: Approved Average Joe: I lost my job. My wife got cancer. Can we get Medicaid? Trump: No.

There’s no money for your health care but they can afford to spend nearly a billion dollars a day on this war?

Goodbye and good riddance. But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror. The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE NOW.

The War in Iran is costing taxpayers nearly $1 billion a day. While Trump funds another illegal war, Republicans in Congress are cutting healthcare and food assistance.  Invest in the American people, not more endless wars.

@AlanRMacLeod @orange_in_VA WTF??? Of course, they aren’t putting their or their children’s a**es on the line.

There are few things more dangerous to humanity than billionaire ownership of our media.

In last 24 hours we learned: 1) Blind man dies after horrific neglect by DHS 2) DACA recipient deported via expedited removal during LPR hearing 3) private prison contractors seized crayons/drawings from kids at immigrant family jail at Dilley 4) Columbia student taken from dorm

While everyday Americans struggle to pay their bills, Trump and Republicans in Congress handed billionaires the biggest tax cut in American history.

I don't want a city on Mars. I don't want AI in every app. I don't want data centres in space. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive.

Rev. Jesse Jackson meant so much to so many. He changed lives - bringing hope, empowerment, & dignity. I was honored to work w/ him since the ‘70’s. When he called on me he said my life & that of my community of Arab Americans would never be the same. He was right. Thank you Rev!

AOC: “I represent one of the most immigrant dense, diverse communities in the world. I started organizing know your rights sessions. The acting director of ICE threatened me with jail. He did that in order to get me to stop. I stood up and I said make me — I dare you. And what happened? Quiet, whimpering withdrawal.”
