1/6At the Build and Defend NJ 2025 Gubernatorial Candidate Forum, when asked about defending immigrant communities from Trump's administration, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social expressed opposition to the reopening of Delaney Hall for privately housing immigrant detainees.

“who will stand up for immigrants here in New Jersey and who will stay silent” READ @satenikm.bsky.social call to action! #NJ reach out to your municipal bodies to pass resolutions to advocate for Bill A4987 "New Jersey Immigrant Trust Act."

Elect good people locally… that is all!

Musk's SpaceX’s POL PAC fundraising committee gives thousands to candidates from both parties. Last November it gave Rep Gottheimer $2,500, and over the last 5 years, it gave Rep Sherrill— & political action committees supporting her—about $31,500. More 🎁 GIFT #DemVoice1 www.nj.com/politics/202...

The #NJ Division of #CivilRights just made it unequivocally clear: anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is an affront to the Garden State's values and our Law Against Discrimination is in full force — no matter what the federal government has to say. 1/ #NewJersey #LGBTQ #trans #transgender #queer

Yesterday’s ICE action in Newark only further highlights the danger of Donald Trump’s immigration strategy. Warrantless searches that round up citizens as collateral damage should be condemned by both Republicans and Democrats.

Most of us in 2025 have been navigating between feeling optimistic 🥰 and then concerned 😦, Billie Jean has the 2025 vibes down! #Maltese

This is an all hands on deck situation, My Friends-Neighbors-Students, etc need a United front of support and protection. Our elected officials need to actually show up to support and protect our NJ families and friends.

We are going to change NJ’s political system for good and create accountability to people instead of party bosses. We are going to help people run for office that have been boxed out before. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/bor...

I hope we are paying attention

Are they trying to convince us, NJ voters, that they are Republican lite? How can we expect them push back at Trump's agenda if one of them becomes the governor? I am very upset: as an immigrant, as a criminologist, and as a democrat.

This morning, I was excited to read @stevenfulop.bsky.social 's white paper on Environmental Policy, Sustainability & Energy. He is the only Governor candidate that engages in substantive policy development.

Talk about a packed room in Ridgewood last night for our meet and greet as part of our campaign for Governor. We are running a different type of campaign and it is growing. Join us at stevenfulop.com

We are crushing the opposition on the policy front bc we are the only one’s outlining what we will do for NJ beyond platitudes. Releasing today our sustainability platform and explaining why- There is lots in there but It includes:

Watch how leaders talk to children.. It says a lot about how they lead. Everyone is important!!

1/2 In ‘16 my husband was elected and we went to a lot of events. At one event I was praised by another elected man for being such a great wife. “no other wives show up and support their husbands.” Of course I had to agree, “I am a great wife,but I’m also the vice chair of our democratic committee”

Hello everyone, help me identify teachers on Bluesky. I want to build a gratitude starter pack for them. #Teachers

1/3 A gift from my students-the love is mutual ❤️last week me, my students and my son (also a student) we left the school early before the Holiday break. There was a social media 🔫 threat to all of us. My administration,security etc did everything right and kept us informed and safe-we left early.

It is Amazing to finally have a choice for NJ assembly candidates! Real primaries make a difference!

Bean, greens and a side of cornbread ! A homemade “lucky” lunch for a great year in 2025! 🤞#newyearsday #2025

Earlier this month, I once again submitted a letter to Gov Murphy to end the bear hunt. I’ve been consistent on the issue for years as how we treat animals reflects on our values. It’s the reason we changed the animal shelter in JC. I’ve been clear that if elected governor I’ll officially end it

New Jersey has a problem getting voters registered AND engaged. Here is an email where I was told "another group" has been "allowed" to register voters. I am an elected Dem district leader in Bloomfield, New Jersey The DEM boss machine works: kill engagement & empowerment. #DemCastNJ #DemVoice1

Apparently on June 1st Essex County had a “glitch” and we still can’t find the missing Sheriff’s report 🤨 Any glitch in such an important department is a concern …especially when it means things just disappear 🙃 💨

High quality and hard working LD34 assembly candidates 👏

Senator Kim Comments on Section 708 of NDAA @andykimnj.bsky.social has the backs of our military and understands what they need—hint: it's not politics! This is our national defense. #DemVoice1 #DemCastNJ youtu.be/GGoQE3EGS8s

Capitulation and thinking is ok to sacrifice some in the process ☹️

From our friends @gardenstateequality.org 🚨 Urgent action alert! 🚨 Extremist politicians have hijacked defense budget legislation to add a ban on medically necessary healthcare for servicemembers' trans kids. The Senate could vote on this bill as soon as TOMORROW. We need to stop it.

Let’s share this starter pack and follow! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Almost Christmas.. and I’m still finishing my summer needlepoint project. An ornament from when we had our annual Cape May Trip. I actually have 5 other needlepoint projects in various stages/done. I balance the chaos with creative projects-that’s how I work 😉 #needlepoint #creativity #capemaynj

🎶It's like the more money we come across…the more problems we see🎶

Thank you Garden State Equality for taking action on these unacceptable votes!

I am a veteran myself but support for the military should not be at the expense of the LGBTQ community (or any community). Having two democratic congressional members (Josh + Mikie) from NJ being ok with voting for this bill is NOT ok. @GSEquality is correct it is a dark preview of the next 4 years.

“The Democratic Party should remember that pro-democracy movements succeed through grassroots organization and authentic engagement — not relentless fundraising.”

2024 has been A YEAR, so many unexpected things locally, nationally and globally.. Amongst the constant chaos I decided to start learning how to make fresh pasta! Alex Morris’s book “Pasta et Al” is beautiful let’s see if I can kneed all this frustration into some beautiful pasta #italianamercian

Let’s support this journalist who shared the fact that 2 NJ Dems @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and Gottheimer along with 79 other democrats voted To Pull Care From Service Member's Trans kids #NDAA All kids deserve this care, sacrificing some bc “governing requires making tough choices” is not ok. #NJ

Voted for the NDAA New Jersey Gottheimer (Democrat) votes Yea Sherrill (Democrat) votes Yea

Legal sports betting changed how folks experience sports. Broadcasts include odds & point spreads. Gamblers often forget how many people, including children, still watch for something other than parlays or that the Yankees & the Crimson Tide really do represent more than a wager. #DemVoice1 #DemCast

We are going to create more accountability and change Trenton permanently- we are just getting started newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/...

This is not good-NJ pay attention!

Today, EPA announced over $735 million in awards through the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle Program (CHDVP), which helps grantees replace vehicles like trucks and buses with zero-emission electric models and allocates 70% of the funding for electric school buses! #CleanRide4Kids

It’s taken years of organizing, but our public schools in Jersey City are finally close to every single school having working water fountains with safe tested drinking water. It’s incredible to walk through buildings while substituting and see real life impact from our work w/ NJ Together.

Everything I do is for my boys, for your kids and grandkids. Because what is the point of our time on this planet if we take more than we give? Thanks for giving me the chance to shape the country our kids will grow old in. With humility I now start my work as a U.S. Senator. END
