It’s hard to accept that the U.S. is heading towards democratic collapse.
So, I photoshopped some potential headlines to show #WhatsToCome if we don’t act now…

Kids deserve to be safe online, and parents deserve better tools to protect them.
That’s why Senate Democrats passed Kids Over Clicks, strengthening privacy and safety protections for young people and putting kids’ well-being ahead of clicks and engagement.

According to @nbcnews, "The same seat at an upcoming Harry Styles concert at Madison Square Garden could cost $455. Or it could cost $517."
That's according to a recent test that found StubHub is charging users different amounts for the exact same show.

Voters are screaming at us, saying they're worried about the impacts AI could have on their lives.
Democrats are missing the boat. So, we're starting @TomorrowTgthr to help fix that.

.@DesignItForUs thanks @AsmLowenthal for accepting some of our amendments to AB 1709 - keeping young people's access to social media but without engagement-maximizing features.
We're reviewing the changes and look forward to strengthening the bill further

New Jersey can lead the nation in providing privacy-by-default and safety-by-design protections to young people with the NJ Kids Code Act.
We urge @SpeakerCoughlin and @SenPresScutari to swiftly pass #A4015 and send it to @GovSherrillNJ to sign it into law.

Meta is now offering to drop opposition to KOSA in exchange for immunity in the lawsuits from parents, states, and school districts. Lawmakers must not let them lobby their way out of responsibility for the consequences of their product decisions. Let's be clear on the redlines as kids online safety is debated in Washington: No preemption. No immunity from lawsuits.

Our fight is for Adam Raine, his parents, Maria and Matt; and for every family and every kid.
The consequences of failing to regulate AI aren’t imaginary; they are already here. I’m running for Congress to protect our kids and take on the oligarchs spending millions to take away our power. We can’t let them win.
The Raine family telling the story of Adam makes clear the stakes. I'm humbled by their trust and inspired by their advocacy.
Watch their story—the closing ad of our campaign:

National Scam Survivor Day is a reminder that we need to use every tool at our disposal to support scam victims and hold platforms accountable for their role in online scams.

In March, I went to Long Island to talk about the importance of protecting New Yorkers from these online scams.

Every day, New Yorkers are targeted by scam ads on social media. But Big Tech refuses to act—because they profit from it.
I’m pushing to hold social media accountable by cracking down on scams and forcing them to actually enforce their own anti-fraud policies.
Zach Praiss retweeted
Online fraud has become a crisis, and Big Tech is profiting off it. Meanwhile, all of us are paying the price.
I joined @LeroyComrie to push for his bill to prevent social media companies from pushing fraudulent ads, so we can protect New Yorkers from online rip-offs.

Here’s the thing: there are some politicians for whom this is just a good line, which it is. But for @AOC, it’s not just that. It’s really who she is. She’s one of the most genuinely selfless leaders I’ve ever met.
Axelrod: There are a lot of people who would like you to run for president in 2028. And there are others who would like you to run for the senate.
AOC: In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat—it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line. What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Giant corporations are using your data to spy on you and increase prices.
@MalloryMcMorrow has a plan to stop that.
