      What I saw across the country this past Tuesday was bold progressives, particularly bold women of color, but also progressive Black men - get elected nationwide in places where that had never happened before. It's time the leadership of the Democratic Party look like its voters

      Many of us strongly prefer @RepBarbaraLee to be the Majority Leader over Nancy Pelosi. All I know is that when all of this is said and done, it's going to be a problem for me and thousands of others if the Democratic majority has no Black women in leadership. PERIOD.

      NOW is the time for us to be actively talking about the Democratic candidates for President. Yes, I know runoffs & recounts are happening. I'm working with those campaigns. But I ASSURE you that candidates are actively gathering commitments & blessings, etc. as we speak.

      I have not made a commitment to any candidates who might be running for President, but have told several of them that I will be waiting to see who all announces, what they say they stand for, who they hire to run their campaigns before I make my decision.

      I'll be frank and tell you two Democrats that I am 99% sure I won't be supporting - primarily because of their dismal history on criminal justice reform over the course of their entire careers. Joe Biden & Kamala Harris. They both helped build & advance mass incarceration.

      Just 4 years ago to this very day, a federal judge had to ORDER California Attorney General Kamala Harris to release more non-violent offenders from prison, but she fought it hard because "prisons would lose an important labor pool." That's a quote.http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-order-state-to-release-more-prisoners-20141114-story.html …

      I like Joe Biden. I like his toothy grin. I think his friendship with Obama is cute. I think he's relatable. But to see him this week proudly give George W. Bush a humanitarian award stemming from the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan deeply disturbed me. Those wars are criminal.

      I won't be endorsing any candidates for President that recently took happy photos with Benjamin Netanyahu or have refused to speak out against the hundreds of unarmed Palestinians who've been slaughtered by Israel this year. I don't have many dealbreakers. That's one for me.

      I have a list of 8 people that I would consider not only endorsing for President, but would stop everything and throw my whole life into helping them get elected. But even for those 8, I'm going to evaluate their platforms, their senior staff hires, and their actual history.

      I like Beto a lot and hope that he either runs for Senate in Texas again, since the other seat is about to open up, or runs for President. I think he's qualified to do both. But I also feel just as strongly about Andrew Gillum & Stacey Abrams. I'd seriously consider all 3.

          Beto has done a lot for our city and I'm super proud of how close he came to taking out Cruz. He's pretty much got my vote for anything he runs for at this point.

          You're contradicting yourself. Both Beto and Gillum have made recent statements strongly supporting Israel militarily and economically despite its occupation and war crimes against Palestinians. No candidate that supports Israel's apartheid regime war crimes deserves support.

          It's bothered me that everyone is Beto non-stop, when Abrams & Gillum ran in equally difficult red states & actually came closer than Beto did (& weren't running against someone even teh Republicans hate). I love Beto, but I think Abrams & Gillum deserve just as much attention.
