The American people do not want the U.S. government to continue using taxpayer dollars to arm the Israeli government. We must pass the Block the Bombs Act to stop our complicity in the violence and destruction against Palestinian families and children.

The Trump administration’s new refugee admissions policy doubles down on their racist prioritization of white South Africans. It’s shameful and abandons the thousands of previously approved and vetted refugees fleeing war and violence.
Trump administration raises US refugee cap, but only for white South Africans
President Trump has announced that the U.S. is admitting 10,000 additional white South Africans as refugees, citing persecution in their home country. This decision comes as the administration blocks refugees from other countries.

As we near the end of AANHPI Heritage Month, I want to take a moment to recognize an incredible leader in our community: Councilmember Eddie Lin. Lin has spent his career dedicated to justice, pushing for investments in housing, and creating opportunity for all in our community.
AANHPI Heritage Month Constituent Spotlight featuring a photo of Eddie Lin and a quote, "As the son of a Taiwanese immigrant and mixed race couple, I’m honored to represent Seattle’s diverse south end on council. My neighborhood of Beacon Hill has provided my kids a beautiful and supportive community to grow up in. I’m grateful for my role as Chair of the Comprehensive Plan, ensuring Seattle builds a future in which all residents can thrive, from generations of families to those now seeking refuge here."
White text overlayed a blue background: "Councilmember Eddie Lin brings to the council an extensive law background. He is the son of a Taiwanese immigrant and mixed race couple who grew up in the South. Councilmember Lin settled in Seattle after attending law school at Seattle University. After falling in love with the area, he joined the City Attorney’s Office in 2017 and has worked directly with the Office of Housing to help make unprecedented investments in rental and homeownership projects across Seattle. A Seattle Public Schools parent since 2009, he is married to a proud educator and local union leader. Councilmember Lin represents District 2 on Seattle city council which includes the neighborhoods of Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Chinatown-International District, Columbia City, Mount Baker, Yesler Terrace, and Rainier Beach."

My heart breaks for Wendy, who was finally able to return to the US to bury her 3-year-old son, Orlin. We must never forget Orlin and how ICE ignored Wendy’s pleas when they separated her from her son. Family separation is cruel and it must be stopped.
ICE allows mother it deported without her toddler to return for his burial
Wendy Hernandez Reyes denies she “abandoned” her son, as ICE claimed. In an extraordinary act, she was allowed to come back to the U.S. for his burial.

NEW: A judge just temporarily BLOCKED the Trump administration from moving ahead with their $1.8 BILLION slush fund to pay insurrectionists and MAGA loyalists. I’ve said from the start that this is an absolute waste of taxpayer dollars. This needs to be stopped permanently.

Jeffery Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and all of the other predators in the Epstein files are just the tip of the iceberg. We need a release of the full files and to get justice for ALL survivors of sexual assault and trafficking, and to hold every single abuser accountable.

Big Tech spent at least $653 MILLION to cozy up to Trump and Republicans — and now they’re cashing in BIG. This is the oligarchy in action and we must fight back by overturning Citizens United, abolishing Super PACs, and implementing serious regulations on AI.

Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst” — he’s going after all immigrants. And we must be clear eyed about this — he’s using immigrants as a testing ground for stripping Constitutional protections for ALL of us.

Kids should be playing with their friends, learning at school, and going home to see their families. No child should be ripped away from their family, held in detention. Any country that detains children has lost its moral compass.
