Congresswoman Lateefah Simon
@replsimon
I am proud to represent a beautiful tapestry of communities from all different backgrounds. Our cities were built and are sustained every single day by immigrants, yet the Trump Admin is trying to restrict access to Small Biz Administration resources with bigotry fueled citizenship requirements.

Care work is the quiet engine of this country. As co-chair of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Caregiving Task Force, I am proud to join my colleagues to introduce a Congressional Resolution designating April as "Care Workers Recognition Month" to commit ourselves to caring for those who care for us.
The last time the federal minimum wage was raised was 2009. For too long, our economy has relied on underpaying the very workers who keep this country running. That harm has fallen hardest on women, workers with disabilities, tipped workers, Black and brown workers, and working families.
I joined @seiu.org to protest Republicans' latest reconciliation bill which includes $350 billion more for Trump's immigration enforcement machine. Democrats have been successful in withholding funding for ICE, so Republicans are trying to abuse the reconciliation process to push ICE $ through.
Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
We are on Day 77 of Trump's illegal and inhumane war. He is endangering the lives of civilians, shattering every global alliance we have built, and raising costs for Americans with a $29 billion dollar war. I will not support or give a dime to the President's senseless war in Iran.
This week, I introduced the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act. This legislation was developed in partnership with my colleague @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and incredible community partners like @only1tinisch.bsky.social with Californians for Safety and Justice.
I announced $1 MILLION in federal Community Project Funding for a new Pediatric Blood Disorder Research Center at @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social. In 2014, I lost my husband to a rare blood cancer called T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. A clinical trial gave our family two more years together.
Today, on the House Floor, I honored Oakland's own Olympic figure skating champion and GOLD MEDALIST, Alysa Liu. You carry the heart and spirit of Oakland everywhere you go - we are so proud of you. Congratulations, Alysa on your incredible accomplishments - and for doing it on your terms.
The health of our communities is directly linked to our environments, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million dollars in federal Community Project Funding to the City of San Leandro for clean water infrastructure and new recreation opportunities for local residents.
It was wonderful to join Dr. Pineda & the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to celebrate their 54th anniversary and be with so many leaders, activists, and mentors. The CIL's work and partnership has been invaluable for me as I continue the long fight for disability justice in Congress.
JD Vance is challenged by Kaitlan Collins over whether individuals who assaulted police on January 6 should be excluded from compensation, as Vance says cases will be reviewed “case by case.”

Hezbollah ensures Israel can no longer hide its losses. Cheaply made FPV drones are crushing tanks & bases, inflicting soldier casualties in the 100s. Israel is now unable to hide its losses due to it all being caught on film. Robert Inlakesh on the implications of these new drone warfare tactics:

The overpass activists trek to the Route 4 overpass in NJ every week as part of the ‘rush-hour resistance’. Within hours of an ICE agent killing Renee Good & a 2nd ICE shooting in Minneapolis, they were already mobilizing. We must stand up — not escalate. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos

Snakey is quite active. He likes to come downstairs & eat breakfast, he’ll spend time outside, smelling flowers and playing in the grass, after which it’s chore time. Snakey enjoys reading non-fiction then it’s off for a bath, a snack and bedtime. Sweet dreams. #childrenscontent #childrensstories

In this video you can see a visual map of some of the neurons within a fruit fly’s ventral nerve cord (VNC), like that of a human’s spinal cord. Neurons progressively stack on top of each other and at the end of the video, you can see a rough neuronal map of the VNC.

A new “gateway effect” study claims vaping leads to smoking - but its own review admits the evidence is biased and low quality. That contradiction isn’t just sloppy - it raises serious questions about how conclusions are being framed. Science deserves better than mixed messages.

Saw a handful of snoopy birds being just lovely on the beach tonight. Normally black skimmers don't nest on the beach in SoCal; 2 years ago they did and had a REAL bad time. Let's hope these super sweet moments are a sign of successful nestings to come. ❤️ 🪶
