    My heart is breaking after today’s deadly shooting at Chabad Congregation in San Diego—on the last day of Passover and 6 months to the day after the Tree of Life shooting. We as a nation must confront the terrifying rise of religious hate and violence. Love trumps hate.

    I support Congress overriding Trump’s veto on the bipartisan Yemen War Powers Resolution. We must put people over politics, do what is right, and stop supporting this war.

    There’s so much good work being done by women and not near enough attention being paid to it. Tonight we got to watch Shine Theory and co-governance in action at first Community Conversation. Felt like progress and power shifting and it felt good.
