What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness. You know, the same as ICE agents get.

I was approached by a security officer and escorted outside, where an armed officer informed me I needed to leave. When I asked for an why, the officer responded, “I don’t know. I wish I could tell you. You have to go, they don’t want you here.”

Trump has pushed GOP-led states to redraw maps and add more Republican seats—tilting Congress away from the country we actually are. America is more balanced than that & our representation must respect that

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous! 👇

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.
