    I came to America with nothing. In 10 years, I went from mopping restaurant floors to taking on the biggest banks on Wall Street. Now, I’m running for Congress to dismantle every oppressive system that denies us the basic necessities to live. Join us:

    Organize.

    🚨 It's official. We turned Arizona blue!!! Let me be clear about this again, this is a result of a 10+ years of grassroots organizing. Latinos and Native Americans came out in record numbers to support Biden because WE DID THE WORK. This is how we flipped the state.

    Defund the police because harmed communities have been trying reform for 40 years and it's not getting any better

    Let's repeat that: The police department hid nearly 750,000 (!!!!) records documenting the sexual abuse of minors by their officers AND lied about it

    Medicare for All and the Green New Deal can’t wait.

    112 co-sponsors of Medicare for All were on the ballot. All of them won. 98 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal were on the ballot. Only 1 lost. Supporting Medicare for All and the Green New Deal is not just good public policy. It is also good politics.

    I’m a 6 year Marine Corps veteran. Signing my life away, I found temporary relief from poverty. I was homeless once I wasn’t needed any longer. Most people who I served with stayed in because they’d have nowhere else to go. Thank veterans by ending poverty & war.

    There were more hospitalizations today than *any other day in the pandemic* Folks, it's only a matter of time until we exhaust our hospital capacity. Wear your mask. Practice physical distancing. Wash your hands.

    Higher voter turnout is a challenge for progressive candidates (esp. 1st time ones) because of lack of name recognition. Local and state races are crucial to implement a Democratic agenda, so donate to downballot candidates, not just the Senate candidates

    Billionaires have increased their net worths by more than $637 billion since the pandemic began. Meanwhile, 40 million people have filed for unemployment. It’s clear the system doesn’t work for the working class. We fix it by taking the power back at every level of government.

    Embarrassing vote by the Massachusetts House of Representatives to protect the stolen profits of billionaires and cut public schools, colleges, and other urgent public goods instead. I’m incredibly disappointed in my Representative Paul Donato and everyone else who voted no.

    18 billionaires in MA increased their wealth by $17 billion in the first three months of the pandemic. 127 state reps voted against making them pay more in taxes. SHAME ON THEM. TY to the 30 (and to for filing the amendment)!

    Mainstream media should be having on Black, Latinx, Muslim, Asian, and progressive voices who've been doing the unsung work for years in places like AZ, WI, MI, MN, PA, and GA instead of these Lincoln Project grifters. This is incredibly sickening.

    Joe Biden will win the popular vote by over 4 million votes. The Democratic nominee for president has now won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 elections. One person, one vote. Democracy must rule. Yes. We should abolish the electoral college.

    Don't stop saying it: Black and Brown organizers won this election by putting in the work. Young organizers won this election by putting in the work. Those who the system too often overlooks are taking 👏🏾 it 👏🏾 back 👏🏾.

    What happens next matters. In the past, efforts to build "unity" and "consensus" in Washington have too often meant turning over the keys to giant corporations and their lobbyists. We can't let that happen again.

    Lincoln Project is not not even hiding their grift. Don't give them your money and stop putting them on TV. Their goal is to undermine the Democratic party longterm

    wait i didn't even realize this - 2/3 of the lincoln project's expenditures - more than $40 million! - was spent on two political communications firms, each owned by one of the co-founders of the lincoln project lmao come on!
