As a refugee, I know finding a home is a matter of life or death for children around the world. It is shameful that @POTUS is reneging on a key promise to welcome refugees, moments after @RepSchakowsky @RepJayapal, myself and others called on him to increase the refugee cap. https://t.co/eaxjHCUhrI

Taxpayers spend $15B/year in direct federal subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. We shouldn't provide giveaways to the very people responsible for polluting our water and lands. I’m proud to work with @SenSanders to end the fossil fuel welfare system. https://t.co/D6wtAZCl7M https://t.co/TXTbh1u4e7

Every person, regardless of their race or nationality, should have equal access to the vaccine. We need to stand up to Big Pharma and make generic vaccines available worldwide.

The Line 3 pipeline would emit 193M tons of CO2 a year, more than the rest of the MN *combined.* It is a nail in the coffin for sustainable human life on this planet and a slap in the face to indigenous sovereignty. My op-ed with @zhaabowekwe. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ https://t.co/DXczEAWdsY

The climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation and a planet. Today I led a letter with @RepRashidaTlaib urging President Biden to conduct a thorough review of existing and proposed oil pipeline projects, including Line 3, Dakota Access Pipeline , and Line 5. https://t.co/NcxOahpSGX

Great news! Trump’s cruel sanctions are leading to a medical crisis and record COVID cases. Let’s lift them and return to the deal. https://t.co/3BQNr75IjB

This is great news that will save lives. Next up: abolish the filibuster and pass gun safety legislation. https://t.co/8JA9q1UnWJ

Today, we remember the six million Jews and countless others who were murdered during the Holocaust, as well as the acts of resistance against unspeakable violence. And we commit ourselves to prevent genocide and all crimes against humanity. #NeverAgain

Jeff Bezos is now worth $193 billion. He makes $152,000 per *minute* and yet his workers are forced defecate in bags, and face retaliation for trying to exercise their right to collectively bargain. Don’t pretend this is normal.

We cannot and we must not fall victims to politics of fear and hatred that drives the far-right. My statement on President Biden's promise to lift the refugee cap and reject Trump's wall. https://t.co/is69xyT2R4

If Republicans oppose providing care to seniors and people with disabilities, they should just say so.

Grateful every day to have the opportunity to represent the 5th District of Minnesota in the People’s House! Last week, we had another busy district work week. Here’s some of the highlights ⬇️ https://t.co/nRqbP8oOOa

It’s National Library Workers Day.📚 What’s the best book you ever checked out?

A child is dying every 75 seconds in Yemen. Today, I met with @LiberateYemen activists who have been on a hunger strike for the past 9 days to demand an end to the inhumane U.S. backed Saudi blockade in Yemen. Proud to support this letter. https://t.co/3MfDuSGUka

Sending my sincere condolences to the family, friends, and staff of Rep. Alcee Hastings. He was a beloved member of the Congressional Black Caucus who fought tirelessly on behalf of his district. He will be deeply missed.

Today, 86% of all vaccines dispensed worldwide have been administered in rich countries. Only 0.1% have been administered in poor countries. As @IlhanMN says, the current WTO rules are a death sentence for millions around the world. https://t.co/XWvIrB1mSm

Incredibly encouraging news that @POTUS will be fulfilling his promise to finally end the longest war in America's history. This is such a critical step toward ending forever wars and ushering in global peace. https://t.co/HA77uRTmeK

Climate justice is racial justice. Black & Indigenous liberation are woven together, just as our waterways are inextricably connected. Justice for #GeorgeFloyd in southern MN, #StopLine3 in northern MN, cc: @POTUS @VP My @cnn piece w/@IlhanMN ✊🏽❤️ https://t.co/pKZLZy4p8B

.@Ilhan on the border: "This really is a reminder that we have a moral and legal responsibility to provide that opportunity for these kids. And it's also the ethical thing to do. This is an issue that's very personal for me." https://t.co/3Eo4FRcbJN

Nothing but love for the incredible women in our Squad. As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I joined my sisters-in-service Rep. @Ilhan and @RepPressley to talk about why this month is so important. To all the young girls watching, the world needs your greatness. https://t.co/VZ63NXJpTs

This morning, our congressional delegation is headed to the Carrizo Springs facility for unaccompanied children — ensuring that they’re treated humanely. Grateful to my colleagues for joining. @RepPeteAguilar @Ilhan @RepBarbaraLee @RepJimmyPanetta @RepWexton @RepRashida

"An attack on one community is an attack on all of us. The model minority myth is rooted in white supremacy. Together we must denounce all accounts of white supremacy and bigotry wherever we fight it." Thank you @IlhanMN for your powerful words. Together we can #StopAsianHate ✊ https://t.co/FRUqBJvMFm

Thank you @Ilhan for your questions during my testimony to @HouseForeign. I agree with @IMFNews' @KGeorgieva. Special Drawing Rights enable developing nations to get the resources to respond to #Covid19’s many impacts on health, hunger, & vaccines. #SDRs will save lives!
