I'm heartbroken for Magdalena. No child should have to experience the fear of being ripped from her parents.
I'm also heartbroken for our country. Whether it was a child in Texas orphaned by a white supremacist's bullet or a child in Mississippi left parentless by a president's orders, we must stop and think about what is happening to children in our country.
We must think about what is happening amid the rise of domestic terrorism and the politics of fear—and we must act. Please join me in supporting organizations that are doing just that: secure.actblue.com/donate/ms-raids

Last year, @Chas10Buttigieg and I welcomed Buddy into our household and into our lives. Like his “brother” Truman, he quickly became a big source of joy. Rescue dogs have long been an important part of my life, and I'm with all those on board to #ClearTheShelters.
Before @FirstDogsSB, there was Olivia. She found her way out of a pound into her forever home with me and my parents in South Bend.
Buddy, Truman, and Olivia are reminders of how many loving, beautiful animals are waiting for forever homes in shelters across America. This #ClearTheShelters Day, open your home and your heart to a rescue animal in need: cleartheshelters.com

50 years ago today, Apollo 11 landed, a module hatch opened, and a man set foot on the moon. The #MoonLanding was a giant leap for humanity made possible by common purpose (and public initiative!) across a nation striving for the most ambitious possible goals.
As we stand on the verge of a new American era, it has never been more urgent that we summon that ambition again. From devastating hurricanes in Puerto Rico to raging infernos in California, we face the life-and-death challenge of a changing climate and climate disruption.
Climate change is here. It is an existential threat to our way of life on this planet. This timetable isn't being set by D.C. It's set in reality—and the time to act was yesterday. To meet this once-in-a-generation challenge, we must be as bold in our time as Kennedy was in his.

This is a day for doing more than one thing at a time. We must denounce and reject the president’s racist demagoguery—without letting him deny attention to today’s extremely important vote on the minimum wage.
This morning, the House will vote on the #RaiseTheWage Act, a bill that would raise the minimum wage to $15 and lift millions of Americans out of poverty. As a mayor from the industrial Midwest, I know a raise in wages is long overdue. The American people agree.
The #RaiseTheWage Act would give 40 million American workers a raise (that’s two-thirds of America’s working poor, most of whom are people of color) and lift 18 million children out of poverty. In Iowa alone, 63,000 single parents would get a raise.

✡️ Never Again Action ✡️
@NeverAgainActn
BREAKING: #JewsAgainstICE are assembling to shut down their local concentration camp in Houston, Texas.

Never Again is a promise, and it requires action.

#CloseTheCamps
#AbolishICE
#NeverAgainIsNow
#JewsAgainstICE and allies in Houston are blocking the road outside of the Southwest Key facility. We will continue disrupting business as usual until you #CloseTheCamps, #AbolishICE, and stop terrorizing our immigrant neighbors.

PS: This street is called Emancipation Avenue. 🤔
Police are already on the scene in Houston, where #JewsAgainstICE are risking arrest to demand a #DignityPlan for immigration.

We're participating in nonviolent, direct action because we can't accept these atrocities in our communities.

#Parents of white kids: You are NOT powerless to keep your kids from being radicalized into white nationalism/alt right/alt lite/far right belief systems. The government isn't going to act, so we MUST. 1/
1. Make time to meaningfully connect with your children. It's MORE important than any household chore.
2. Let their voices have agency to help create rules and how your family operates
3. Talk to them, starting very young about racial, gender, and sexuality biases.
2/
4. Support them in developing & determining who THEY want and choose to be in the world. This will likely change several times over their childhood.
5. Engage in meaningful & difficult conversations, even if you are uncomfortable or don't know what to say.
