Joined Twitter in 2013. Loved connecting with others. People actually responded to comments with kindness and interest. ☀️ Hoping in our fight for freedom, we find community again. 💙🌊✌🏼

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

This Black History Month, we honor the incredible contributions of African Americans, including the rich history and culture of Black communities in New Mexico. Together, we continue the fight for equality and justice in every corner of our state.

I’m going to start asking Trump supporters, What action/behavior would Trump do that you would call dishonorable, or illegal, or qualify as poor leadership? I tried it today and I literally stumped the man I was talking to. He had answers but knew that Trump had already done it. Ask the hard ?s

What often hurt us in the former Twitter,was that heavy influencers gained all the conversation.Smaller accounts were never elevated. We stopped interacting with each other. Be intentional about liking,reposting, and commenting on the words and actions you want elevated. Many hands make light work.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Jeffries: Two months ago the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th president  Republicans: *cheer* Jeffries: Thank you for that very generous applause. It's ok. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

Saying the uneducated is the reason Harris didn’t win doesn’t factor in some of the most uneducated communities (by degrees earned) vote democratic. Their culture builds mini democracy caring communities. They see the value of caring for one another. Racism, greed, and power are our root problems.

Focus on what matters. Move from drama to action. 💙

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that. Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened. Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.
