This Thanksgiving, the NJ Senate is killing a gov’t watchdog that stops wasteful spending, giving politically powerful individuals broad powers to intimidate law enforcement fighting corruption & even letting them tap phones. Outrageous.
I’ll be testifying against it on Mon.

Proud to have the support of @rokhanna.bsky.social!
Ro has been a powerful, principled voice in Congress for working people, from championing the PRO Act to releasing the Epstein files. Together we'll stand up to Trump and unrig our economy.

Musk's SpaceX’s POL PAC fundraising committee gives thousands to candidates from both parties.
Last November it gave Rep Gottheimer $2,500,
and over the last 5 years, it gave Rep Sherrill— & political action committees supporting her—about $31,500.

Over a red-tinted photo of the statehouse in Trenton: "New Jersey will not waver in our commitment to enforcing our state’s civil rights laws and combating discrimination and bias-based harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. State on Protecting LGBTQIA+ New Jerseyans from Discrimination (January 2025), NJ Division on Civil Rights."
Over an orange-tinted photo of Convention Hall in Asbury Park: "Every New Jerseyan has the right to live free from discrimination and harassment. Discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community is an affront to our values, and it violates our state’s civil rights laws, plain and simple."
Over a yellow-tinted photo of Camden: "The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), our state’s landmark civil rights law, remains in full force regardless of the federal government’s actions."
Over a green-tinted photo of the Newark skyline: "The LAD expressly prohibits New Jersey employers, housing providers, and places of public accommodation—that is, places open to the public—from discriminating based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and other protected characteristics."
The #NJ Division of #CivilRights just made it unequivocally clear: anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is an affront to the Garden State's values and our Law Against Discrimination is in full force — no matter what the federal government has to say.

Yesterday’s ICE action in Newark only further highlights the danger of Donald Trump’s immigration strategy. Warrantless searches that round up citizens as collateral damage should be condemned by both Republicans and Democrats.

This is an all hands on deck situation, My Friends-Neighbors-Students, etc need a United front of support and protection. Our elected officials need to actually show up to support and protect our NJ families and friends.

Are they trying to convince us, NJ voters, that they are Republican lite? How can we expect them push back at Trump's agenda if one of them becomes the governor? I am very upset: as an immigrant, as a criminologist, and as a democrat.

Not a big TJ fan but I do love that as president, Jefferson refused to endorse Thanksgiving proclamations bc he believed in the separation of Church and state.

2/2 not exactly the same situation but showing up has its perks, I’d show up even if I wasn’t also elected. Marrying a man that has a moral compass and always has a seat at the table for you helps too 😉 #lucky #husbandoftheyear #bestwifeever @joanhussey1.bsky.social Love the addition of the mug! 😂

1/2 In ‘16 my husband was elected and we went to a lot of events. At one event I was praised by another elected man for being such a great wife. “no other wives show up and support their husbands.” Of course I had to agree, “I am a great wife,but I’m also the vice chair of our democratic committee”
