I'm leading a peaceful rally to demand Mohsen Mahdawi’s immediate release ahead of his Wednesday hearing.
68 House Democrats demanded answers from Rubio and Noem about his arrest. No response. Time for the people to make our voices heard.

25 years ago today, Vermont became the first state to legalize civil unions for my community. Although gay marriage wasn't recognized until 2009, this was a critical victory in our struggle for equality. Our fight continues today to protect the rights of everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Trump’s latest attack on our checks and balances: arresting judges. This is how our democracy is dismantled. We have to keep our eyes on the ways in which this administration is trying to consolidate power.
Putting the "good" in goodbye! You will NOT be missed! 👋👋👋

Many of these forces are still with us today. It is up to each one of us to stand up for people being targeted, each time you have an opportunity. There is no one coming to save us from authoritarianism. WE are the ones who must act. ALL of us.
Today on Yom HaShoah I honor my grandfather and all 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust.
We hold their memory in our hearts by understanding the history and the force of hate, fear, and scapegoating that made a genocide by the Nazis possible.
Trump is cutting Alzheimer’s research. It was never about going after waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s about cutting programs that help regular people stay afloat in order to claw back money for tax breaks to the billionaires.
Let me cut right to the chase: without migrant labor in Vermont, we would have no dairy industry.
We can and we must hold two things at once — both standing up for due process and civil liberties, and focusing on the economy.
8 workers at Pleasant Valley Farm were arrested yesterday. Border patrol gave no reason for the arrest. When farm workers live in fear that they'll be snatched up, it doesn’t make us safer. It leaves us without food on our tables and real families without their dads or brothers.
It is now completely undeniable that America will be safer if Pete Hegseth is fired. He’s got to go. Keep the pressure.
If you’ll deny due process to someone who’s been here with a green card for 10 years, who talked about peace and building bridges, then we are down a sick path.
What stage of oligarchic capitalism is a subscription service for the government to use military technology…?
Elon Musk's SpaceX is the frontrunner to build Trump's "Golden Dome" missile shield.
SpaceX is proposing a subscription service where the government would pay to access the technology, rather than own it.
Experts think the project could cost hundreds of billions.

"If they're so damn proud of the work they're doing for our government, then show you're damn faces."
@balint.house.gov tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social about the Trump administration demanding universities ban masks, but allow ICE agents to hide their identity as they grab people off the street.
RFK Jr.’s disparaging comments about people with autism are deeply disturbing and outrageous. These are our friends, family members, and neighbors. Every single person deserves dignity, respect, and all the good things life has to offer.
Dear Senator Murkowski,
You have power as a United States Senator whose party is in the majority. We each have power, but you do especially. Find your bravery and others will follow. I promise you. Our democracy depends on it.
Sincerely,
Becca
Mr. Mahdawi has been accused of no crime. He's a green card holder for over 10 years. He was targeted for his speech.
Fundamentally anti-American.
My colleagues and I demand answers from Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio about the illegal and inhumane abduction of Mohsen Mahdawi, a permanent legal resident of the United States.
The Constitution guarantees people within our borders basic rights, including due process and free speech.
