It's been a long year & a half journey. With ups and downs experiencing new territories both professionally, politically and personally. Like I've said many times, I never pretended to be a saint, but I am working on bettering myself not only on social media but in real life too.

I decided I will share my original piece from the Forward, being that the original dialogue in tweets with @SarahKSilverman can be found in the highlighted issues like DACA, Gun reform, Pro choice etc. Great thing about that you can research my tweets prior to those to see the

On a separate note, people ask why I tag. I tag people not because for attention or retweet, I know they see the tweets, either I want that person to know they should be held accountable or I support what they say and can relate to what they go through with the amount of hate

they get, so yeah I tag people like @BarackObama, @HillaryClinton, @ewarren even people like @AOC, @ChelseaClinton, @TheRickWilson @jaketapper and @mehdirhasan. @NickMerrill @AdamParkhomenko I respect them in what they do and I want them to know, that's all.

I do not get paid for any of my tweets, or that I changed political parties. It all was a genuine switch and learning about Obama and Hillary for they really are as well as what Democrats believe, and seeing the flaws of conservatism and the propaganda by conservative media

hasn't been easy. None of this has been easy. Thinking the demonizing of a whole party and people is true to realize it's all been made up of lies. And I respected people like @seanhannity who inspired me to take my first writing gig, or the bluntness of @TomiLahren, it's hard to
