Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism.

I am (as of now) the only candidate in my race who’s pledged to put myself between Trump and the people he’s targeting. If you want someone in Congress who is out on the streets and not on the phone with donors, you can support me by donating $11 here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

🧊 RENT FREEZE NOW!🧊 I'm the only candidate in the race who has called on a rent freeze for all rent-stabilized tenants. That's why I'm endorsed by housing justice champions like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social, and @nychange.bsky.social. Let's keep New Yorkers in their homes!

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Over the past few weeks, we've gotten some good things done for Kentuckians. ✅Celebrated new jobs and investment ✅Presented $1.9 million to support childhood cancer patients ✅Extended summer food program for 450,000 children ✅Secured assistance for those affected by natural disasters

RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again. But he's ignoring the country's leading cause of preventable deaths: smoking.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

This is very sweet but also now I want people to guess my middle name. GO!

New: In 2012, we launched the 'Rolling Jubilee,' a novel fund that purchased millions of dollars in household debt—for pennies on the dollar—and then erased it. Today—inspired by that project—South Korea's newly elected President is proposing a Korean version of our fund.

This escalation came from the President of the United States.

Whoever this is, is based. 100%
