Rep. Mike Garcia's recent comments evoking Nazis and the Third Reich are reprehensible. Anyone using Nazi analogies to make political points cheapens the events of the Holocaust and insults the memories of the millions killed by the Nazis.

In the face of rising #antisemitism, we turn to ancient Jewish wisdom to spread love. We have decided to respond not with anger, or hate, but by spreading both awareness of the problem and an ingredient often missing from any reaction to hate: #LOVE.

When it comes to hate, tech transparency is a critical tool to make our platforms more responsible. Thank you to @AsmJesseGabriel & @Portantino for your leadership and support. Great to see it moving out of committee. #StopHidingHate.
Despite fierce opposition from Big Tech, our bill #AB587 to require transparency from social media platforms passed Senate Appropriations Committee with strong support. This is an essential first step to addressing online hate, racism, and misinformation & protecting democracy.
