Dear Canada,

Please don’t follow our example. We know you can do better!

Signed,

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Janet is supporting our campaign because she knows that I'm delivering for the people of Pittsburgh.

From new housing units to an unprecedented amount of new federal and state funding (read: $328+ Million 👀) to a new police contract, we are building a safe, thriving city for all!

"Tell UPMC: Stop doing Trump's bidding" poster

As we honor our Trans and non-binary community, we have to call out the attacks they face every day.

Right now, UPMC is doing Trump's bidding as he escalates the attacks on the Trans community and healthcare for vulnerable Americans.

Join us on Thursday to fight back. 2/2

I loved being at the Freeman Family Farm & Greenhouse to talk with our neighbors on the Northside about how we're building a city for all!

We’ve built more affordable housing than any admin in 20 years + deployed the 1st Food Justice fund to feed our communities.

Let's get it done!

Armin is canvassing for our campaign because he knows Mayor Gainey is delivering new housing, improving public safety, and he needs four more years to finish the job.

I don't want Canada or Greenland…

I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Dear Democratic Members of Congress,

Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it.

Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it!

Signed,
