Every American deserves equal protections in the workplace, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. That's why I voted NO on Janet Dhillon for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, bc we need a champion for equality, not discrimination, on the @USEEOC. https://t.co/I30gksv5uy — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to block families fleeing persecution from getting legal representation runs counter to the very fabric of our justice system. I join @RAICESTEXAS in calling on @ICEgov to make sure immigrants at Karnes and other detention centers have access to legal counsel. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know a single teacher that would take a walkout lightly. But the situation in our public schools is dire, & it’s critical we address our overcrowded classrooms, lack of counselors & nurses, & outdated equipment. I stand in solidarity with Oregon’s teachers. #RedForEd https://t.co/gpA3BIgfeb — PolitiTweet.org

Curtailing a free press and undermining the public's access to government is a hallmark of authoritarianism & has no place in America. This purge of reporters is un-American and needs to be reversed ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe has already cost far too many civilian lives, and the impact of the war on children is devastating to their development and their future. If the conflict ends this year, @UNDP estimates it will have killed as many as 140,000 children under 5. — PolitiTweet.org

In between meetings and votes, was able to sneak over to the Russell Senate Office Building to see the “Pathways to Peace in Yemen” art exhibit sponsored by @peacedirect @SFCG_ @mercycorps. I was particularly taken with this painting from a young Yemeni boy. https://t.co/3lSlheHNe1 — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump is systematically attempting to criminalize asylum seekers and punish them in any way he can. He stokes fear of murderers and rapists and hordes of criminals in order to serve his own political interests. It’s pure demagoguery. (4/) https://t.co/h25UI6vocM — PolitiTweet.org
