Accountability is one part of a bigger fight: dismantling the systems that let oppression, violence, and inequity persist in the first place. That work doesn't stop. Eleven elected SEIU California leaders have issued the following statement:

The 750,000 members of SEIU California are proud to endorse @EricSwalwell for Governor – someone who will stand up against Trump's MAGA agenda, and fight alongside workers to #UnRigCA.

I’m Dr. Jasmeet Bains — a family and addiction doctor, daughter of immigrants, and the first Sikh American elected to the California Legislature. Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for Congress in California’s 22nd district.
RT @seiucalifornia: Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.

When Huerta says “We are a power”
He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers.
And he’s right.
You can’t detain a movement.
You can’t deport solidarity.

Unions don’t just fight for wages – we fight for justice.
When ICE arrested David Huerta, they didn’t just attack one leader. They attacked the movement.
This is solidarity. This is our moment.

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody.
His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice."
Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him.

.@RepDavidValadao can singlehandedly stop $880 billion in cuts to healthcare by voting NO on tomorrow's budget vote. #CA22
Healthcare workers, patients, and community advocates are rallying outside of Rep. David Valadao’s Bakersfield office to oppose proposed federal budget cuts, which could significantly impact Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program. bit.ly/3EUvzbN
Standing room only tonight with #FightForOurHealth in Corona to urge @KenCalvert to vote NO on any cuts to Medicaid #CA41
Packed house with #FightForOurHealth tonight in Kern County to urge @RepDavidValadao to vote NO on any cuts to Medicaid #CA22
Very excited to share @seiucalifornia & @SEIU's efforts to speak to real issues affecting AAPI & Chinese Voters in #CA47
Scott Baugh has never been there for our community while @DaveMinCA has always been.
The choice is clear this November.
This debate makes me think of that one west wing debate episode, “what are the next ten words to your answer?”
Identifying the problem is one thing, solving it is another. Trump has no legitimate answers.
Grateful to share on this Labor Day that I’ve joined the purple family with @seiucalifornia to build a better California for working families!

I am elated that President Biden is nominating Julie Su to be our nation's next Labor Secretary. She's eminently qualified to lead the Department and will successfully deliver results for our workers on Day 1.
Thank you, @POTUS, for nominating your first AAPI Cabinet Secretary!
President Joe Biden is nominating Julie Su as his next labor secretary. If confirmed by the Senate, Su would be the first Asian American to serve as a secretary in Biden's Cabinet. apnews.com/article/julie-su-…
Am looking forward to the day I can point to @MariferZacarias and tell my kids I had the honor of working alongside her, the 👑 who literally led the charge on this both in DC AND on the ground in some of our most pivotal battleground districts in 2022. #BoB

As promised, here's my take on the #takes. Before #ElectionDay I saw a lot of takes doubting abortion would be an issue that drove people to the polls.
They were wrong. Our strategy paid off. 🧵
