🚨Thousands in northwest Indiana are STILL without power 2 weeks after storms. The Trump Admin does NOT care about the people in low income communities. Please REPOST for the people who are suffering, struggling & are starving. It’s DISGUSTING! 🤬

We just dropped our newest ad — and this one’s special. It features my PawPaw — a Baptist preacher who taught me to follow the two great commandments: love God & love neighbor. Those teachings led me to public service and they’re why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

🧵No matter someone’s immigration status, they are human! Hearing a man scream in pain during an immigration operation should concern everyone! Detention should never mean losing basic dignity or access to medical care! Accountability matters! Humanity matters!🇺🇸❤️‍🩹 #HumanRights #AbolishICE #SheShed

TO RECAP: - Prez paid his corrupt friend millions to turn Reflecting Pool blue, it turned green - matting came loose - so he arrested an Olympic athlete and 6 other innocent Americans and tried to pin it on them - all his cronies lied that these people as vandals - case dismissed on zero evidence

Trump officials misled people who wanted to donate to a bipartisan initiative to mark the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, redirecting them to donate to the administration’s own group instead, according to a congressional investigation released this week. trib.al/fiZBfl1

1/ You think disinfo is random ppl posting lies. It is not. There is a for profit industry that sells reality distortion as a service. They build fake crowds, fake media, fake scandals, & fake “consensus” for clients who want power without fingerprints. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out f thin air simply tO protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage. This is insane.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Yesterday, a caravan of about 13 cars drove from L.A. to the California City detention center - 100 miles each way. Then we joined a rally in town, and heard about all the people who've died there, including a 16 month old baby. Each center makes about 800K A DAY. It's CECOT on our shores.

Sorry I didn’t post video on May Day- but I was busy arguing for press rights with an -out of control LAPD. Earlier in the day they cuffed both Alexis & William. After arresting LA Press Club attorney Weston Rowland- they arrested my colleague Nick Stern and refused to let me take his cameras.
