@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialAnd to anyone who doesn’t feel ready or safe to share the full truth of who they are with their loved ones: You deserve to be seen, loved and celebrated for exactly who you are. You deserve to live and thrive.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialIt’s National Coming Out Day! 🏳️🌈 I was incredibly lucky when I first came out to my mom. She has always loved and accepted me exactly as I am, and I’m so grateful for the way she wrapped her arms around me and supported me. Every kid deserves that kind of love and support from their family.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialBooks can be a place to feel seen, understood, and welcomed. We have to push back against attacks on free speech.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialMore than 12,000 books have been banned in schools nationwide. That is unacceptable. Every young person deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read — especially those who may not feel welcomed in their classrooms or communities.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialMy neighbors don’t want their tax dollars going to a fascist police force that undermines trusted local law enforcement and makes us all less safe.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialI join my colleagues in New York, including @ocasio-cortez.house.gov in calling for a full independent investigation and to release the body camera footage.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialTrump, Stephen Miller, and DHS Secretary Mullin want to normalize untrained, plainclothes ICE officers firing into vehicles and endangering lives in every community across our country. This is unacceptable.👇🏽
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialFrom lowering the cost of childcare and prescription drugs to helping families facing skyrocketing utility bills, we’re working on real solutions that make life easier for working people — while saving taxpayer dollars along the way.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialCosts keep going up while wages stay the same. This isn’t right.
As Chair of @usprogressives.bsky.social’s Better Pay and Benefits Task Force, I’m rolling up my sleeves to fight for solutions that put money back in our neighbors’ pockets.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialThat’s why we’re marking this Latina Equal Pay Day with three words: Power. Pay. Progress.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialAs a proud Chicana and chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ Better Pay and Benefits Taskforce, I know how important it is to build an economy where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.social🧵 Today is Latina Equal Pay Day — a reminder that equal work still doesn't always mean equal pay. Latinas typically earn only 60 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. That gap isn't just a statistic — it's rent, groceries and security for families across our country.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialNow, her family is suing the U.S. government. While nothing can bring Renée back, I hope this lawsuit brings some measure of accountability as my colleagues and I continue working to demand answers and accountability in Congress.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialLet me be clear: Renée Nicole Good should still be alive.
A few weeks ago, Renée’s mom and brother testified before @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social about their horrific loss at the hands of ICE — and the administration that has allowed these killings to happen with ZERO accountability.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.social@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialInstead, she spent the money on plastic surgery, rent, and her daughter’s wedding. While Trump is looking out for himself and his allies, I’m focused on actually fighting fraud and protecting taxpayers.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.social🧵 You can’t claim you’re fighting fraud while turning presidential pardons into a pay-to-play scheme. Trump pardoned Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas City Council member convicted of defrauding donors who thought they were helping build a memorial for fallen police officers.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.social@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialOur rural hospitals need reliable, ongoing funding — not a short-term Band-Aid that distracts from their larger cuts putting neighbors like mine living in rural areas at risk. I’ll keep fighting to make sure families in Grays Harbor — and across the 6th — can get the care they need close to home.
@repemilyrandall.bsky.socialThese investments matter. But let’s be clear: a one-time grant does not make up for the devastating health care cuts Republicans passed in H.R. 1.
