I made the mistake of watching some of Velveeta Voldemort’s speech & as a God loving women: ✨ America is still unaffordable ✨ LGBTQ+ folks are not the problem ✨ Guns kill our kids, and prayer in schools is not a solution Leaders who scapegoat instead of solving crises aren’t leaders at all. 🌈✊🏽

Happy #LaborDay ✊🏽 From weekends to fair wages, workers organized for the rights we have today. In Renton, labor built this city, and labor keeps it moving forward. 💪🏼 I am honored to have the support of our local unions as a champion for working people! #UnionStrong #RiveraforRenton #RentonRooted

I learned yesterday that Muhammad Zahid has been detained by ICE. There are so many issues with our immigration process, and what Velvetta Voldemort’s administration is doing is absolutely unacceptable. #FreeZahid

NEW: ICE detained Zahid Chaudhry a disabled veteran, the father of two U.S. citizens and husband To Pro-Palestine political candidate at his aaturalization interview today. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/ice-det...

NEW: Landlords are breaking the rent stabilization law and Attorney General Nick Brown is getting refunds. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/washing...

Special love to my spouse Jas & the whole Rivera for Renton team. Now we take this momentum into November, let’s win this together. 💪🏽 #RiveraForRenton #ThankYou

Renton deserves leadership rooted in justice, not Trump-style politics. My opponent praised Trump’s agenda, including ending birthright citizenship & his supporters have resorted to bullying, false claims; attempts to discredit me. We won’t be intimidated: RiveraforRenton.com #RiveraforRenton

Honestly, I do not read much of the negativity bc in my experience it's rooted in ignorance & hate. And hate has no home in Renton, that's why they're so miserable. No matter what, l’m going to keep doing the good work for the people. I truly appreciate your support. RiveraforRenton.com #ThankYou

This 4th of July, Congress passed the “Big Ugly Bill” tax cuts for billionaires, cuts to healthcare + basic needs for many millions. As someone who’s worked in social services, I’ve seen the harm these policies cause. I ran to fight back. Learn More RiveraforRenton.com #PeoplePowered #Renton

Pride month is all year long. Here is a glimpse of #WorldPride in #DC this year. From meeting the Irish Ambassador & attending a party at her home to walking in both the #WorldPrideParade and the #TransPride parade. I’m so grateful.

The big bad bill passed the Senate by 1 vote: Vance. This is why elections are important. Local politics are the final line of defense. In WA, local elections are this year & I’m up for reelection has the most progressive, youngest & only Renton city council member w/ social services background.

On the last day of June, let’s remembers Pride spans beyond a single month. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. The last Sunday in June is the anniversary of the Stowewall Uprising, also known as the Stonewall Riots: a series of (1/4)

June 26th marked 10 years since marriage equality became the law of the land due to a very different #SCOTUS and what a decade it’s been. Last year, our wedding was a celebration of love and community, and we know the fight doesn’t stop with legalization of our marriage.

Nights like these are reminders of how grateful I am to God 🙏🏼 🩵

My least fav part of running for office is calling every person I’ve met & asking for money. I’m not backed by corp PACs, I don’t have rich friends, I’m the youngest Renton City CM w/ a background in social services & education. Check out RiveraforRenton.com #Renton #RentonRooted #RiveraforRenton

I told someone when they congratulated me that I’m shooketh I won “Best Elected Official” in the Best of Renton competition. They immediately went, “Why? You are! You’ve worked nonstop and done so much, I’m not surprised and obviously am not the only one.” 🩵🥹 It took me aback & reminded me that 1/4

June is extra important to me b/c it’s during this month we raise both flags for Juneteenth & Pride, celebrating freedom & resilience in Renton. Raising these flags is about honoring the history & significance of Juneteenth & Pride. Juneteenth marking the end of slavery in the United States.🧵1/3

With all due respect, Rob Wotton should not get an ounce of support. This is a dick move. #Politics

I joined the group chat for three reasons 1. The Burner journalism slaps 2. Group Chats are big right now on TikTok 3. It might be the only way someone as cool as @hannahkrieg.bsky.social will actually text me back. ko-fi.com/hannahkrieg #TheBurner #SupportLocal #Journalism

I've called in a DV because I watched someone get strangled twice. They never came. Just texted a "How'd we do survey?" the next day. This police force and the city leaders who tell them what to do are bigger jokes in real life than I could ever make them out to be in real fake news.

The weekend with me as a progressive democrat? Friday we meet former Secretary & gubernatorial candidate @debhaalandnm.bsky.social then we spend the weekend in Tacoma preserving the progressive integrity of our @wadems.org party, getting into #GoodTrouble #NonStop #Progressive #Democrat

The Education Department says millions of borrowers in default will have a chance to make a payment or sign up for a repayment plan. But on May 5, those who don't will be referred for collection.

So happy to attend the Washington Conservation Action @wcav.bsky.social with some of my crew and also getting to meet the extraordinary Deb Haaland, who is running for Governor of New Mexico! @debhaalandnm.bsky.social #wca #environmentaljustice @cliffcawthon89.bsky.social @carmenrivera.bsky.social

Renters are at higher risk of being displaced from this city, or becoming homelessness. Renters are far more likely to live in unsafe/unhealthy housing. Renters face constant uncertainty, and threats to tenant protections are harmful. I’m the only renter on council and it shouldn’t be that way.

Proud to work at @seattleu.edu

Feel free to tag and share with your elected official and make sure they get the message LOUD AND CLEAR. #washingtonstate #pnw #cascadia
