Congratulations to Mayor Todd Gloria on his election as President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors!
As the first Filipino American and LGBTQ mayor elected to this role, Mayor Gloria’s achievement marks a historic milestone for representation and leadership.
I’m honored to now serve as President of @usmayors.
The first Mayor from San Diego and the first openly LGBTQ mayor to lead this national organization.
I'm using this platform to advance solutions that build more homes, keep neighborhoods safe, and expand opportunity.

Holi marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of resilience over harm and good over evil.
Across the U.S. and around the world, celebrating openly is a reminder that our cultures belong in public spaces — and that community, joy, and visibility matter.
Happy Holi!

When vulnerable immigrants are denied dignity and care, the consequences are deadly.
A nearly blind refugee who fled genocide was left alone in freezing temperatures after release from custody—and later found dead.
We must demand accountability and protect human rights for all.
The death of a nearly blind refugee in Buffalo, New York, days after Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a coffee shop alone, has prompted an investigation into the circumstances of his final days and drawn sharp criticism from the mayor, who called the incident "deeply disturbing." cnn.it/4kVrZ23

Fred Korematsu stood up when the government imprisoned Japanese Americans during WWII.
Today, that same logic of fear and profiling continues to harm immigrant and marginalized communities.
His legacy demands resistance, accountability, and the defense of civil rights for all.

2,000 ICE agents flooding Minnesota isn’t “enforcement.” It’s a show of force that terrorizes immigrant communities, disrupts daily life, and targets communities of color. This is a moral failure—and a civil rights crisis.
ICE agents in Minnesota have detained at least four children from the same school district this month, including a 5-year-old boy.
School officials accused ICE officers of using the 5-year-old “as bait” to lure his father out of the house. wapo.st/3Ny2xmD

The U.S. is pausing immigrant visas for citizens of 75 countries, putting families, workers, and dreams on hold. Short-term visas aren’t affected, but the message is clear: legal immigration is under unprecedented review.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said federal officials’ narrative that the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman in south Minneapolis Wednesday morning acted in self-defense is “bull***t.”
“This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying — getting killed,” Frey said. He later added, “What I can tell you is the narrative that this was just done in self-defense is a garbage narrative. That is not true. It has no truth.”

In 2025, restrictive election laws surged — with more bills passed that limit ballot access than expand it — even as Trump’s signature proof-of-citizenship push fizzled in many states. A sobering look at where state election policy stands ahead of 2026.

Using the Bondi Beach tragedy to advance Islamophobia is deeply troubling. This calls for inclusive, responsible leadership, rather than rhetoric that stigmatizes communities or amplifies fear. Upholding this standard is critical to maintaining respectful, constructive dialogue.

Across social media, Republicans are suggesting Muslims are a threat to peaceful society that must be deported, ignoring the fact that the day’s hero—Ahmed Al Ahmed, who grappled a gun away from the attackers—was a member of the local Muslim community. trib.al/a1HaVik
