He's so determined to vote, he's planning to stick it out and get himself there in person. These things shouldn't be happening. We tried to call ourselves early last week and couldn't get through.

Just spoke to a disabled vet who has a hard time in crowds to the point of ordering groceries to his door. He's been calling the Elections Department since January for his mail-in ballot with no one picking up the phone.

Constant stories from residents about election problems in Bexar County. Can't get the Elections Department on the phone, polling hours weren't posted anywhere through most of early voting (I'm just barely seeing them on the website in the last ~48 hours) and mail-in ballots aren't being received.

You know someone's scared when residents start reporting stolen yard signs 😂

This is your friendly reminder to please go early vote before the 29th and reach out if you want to knock some doors and help Jalen drive this home on Election Day!

Uh huh yeah, that's what I thought, Express 👊👀 💯🥳

If you're interested in knocking some doors or helping us at the polls once early voting begins, let me know!

This district is not a revolving door, it is not a seat you can run for just for the sake of running, and anyone who wants to put their name on the ballot better be committed to stick it out for the long run.

If you want to help us get this done once and for all, send me a message.

Not only is this about the great things he's done in the last 4 years and the list of accomplishments on the way; it's about making a permanent change to the political culture in District 2:

This is the first time in over 30 years that a District 2 Councilperson will finish their final term. If Jalen's constant efforts to keep the community informed through every medium possible haven't gotten the point across that change is being made, take a look at the receipts.

(2/2) ...the best way (some people gain more wisdom in 20 years than others do in 50), don't mistake your admiration for them with their capacity to take on excessive labor, and never, ever say that you know better unless it's about burnout prevention and only burnout prevention.

(1/2) The next few months are going to produce a wave of young organizers. This is round two (or more) for most of us, but this is round one for most of them (if they're 20 now, they were 12 last time). Prioritize doing right by them this time. Follow their lead, accept that your way may not be...

Well, this was a fun week! 🖖

Transferring my old posts from Twitter really went to show how much I dropped off of it in the last few years (4 posts in the last two years, out of 1,100 since 2016) 😂

Sean Omar Rivera @seanomarrivera.bsky.social · Nov 14

There are waay too many golden moments from the last week, like moments that I'll probably never be able to top, and I haven't processed them enough yet to even know where to start, but any moment with @NanaVisitor was absolutely amazing. #STTCVII #StarTrekTheCruise

A show that was worth coming out in 103° heat for! Congratulations to Jalen McKee-Rodriguez, the first person to be reelected to City Council District 2 in 🎉10 years🎉 , and the incredible staff that made it possible! Love you guys ❤️🖤

We won. Nine challengers. No person re-elected in TEN years, and just from the first moment of early vote results, we won outright with no runoff.

Convenient that while a heavily-funded anti prop-A campaign carries out GOTV work, "ACAB", "FTP", anarchy symbols, and other things that look like a conservative boomer's impression of teen graffiti start being spraypainted near high-visibility intersections. End of commentary.

Yesterday, @cosa_cd2 came together with the residents of Jefferson Heights and cleaned up the corridor along Polaris St. We also assisted residents in the area get rid of their bulky items. ♥️ 🖤 @theloserteacher

Today's Back 2 School was a huge success! Hundreds of families took advantage of supplies, immunizations, and free haircuts. Follow @COSA_CD2 for more events!

Celebrating all of the great times I had with District 7. We faced the pandemic, extreme weather events, and thousands of constituent needs like a well-oiled machine. I'll miss everyone and look forward to my next chapter serving the Eastside with Council District 2 🥳
