Today, we said no to endless wars. We said no to ICE in our streets. We said no to the constant attacks on veterans who risked their lives for this country.

Happy Veterans Day, fellow veterans. On this day, I ask you to remember what it meant to raise your right hand and say those words. If we donât stand up for whatâs right, we will lose to this fascist, white nationalist movement. Thank you for your service đșđž

If youâre looking for a Democrat who will fight for working people, rather than caving to billionaires and corporate interests, look no further. Thank you to Russell Payne from Salon for the interview!

If you wonât fight to stop Republicans from causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket, in exchange for tax cuts for the wealthy, what will you fight for? This is exactly why we need to primary feckless, spineless Democrats. They serve the corporations and billionaires - not the working class.

We need to stop fighting between left and right and start fighting against the real problem: the 1%âs war on working people. They want us to hate each other. They feed on our anger. Itâs time for working people to take this country back. America belongs to the workers, not the billionaires.

The SC allowed Trump to enforce passport restrictions targeting transgender people. Letâs be clear, this decision will put American citizens in harmâs way, and it is an obvious sign that our checks and balances are broken.

ICE unlawfully ripped a woman from Rayito Del Sol, a daycare and private business, in front of parents and children. They did not possess a judicial warrant and she was in America legally. Her children are also detained. We must abolish and prosecute ICE. This cannot go on.

The solution to America's flawed immigration system is not the American Gestapo - it's increased pathways to citizenship. There is honor in immigration. We must abolish ICE and invest in easier pathways to citizenship.

My opponent raises $4.2 million per election cycle, but 96.4% of that money comes from PACs and wealthy donors (including AIPAC). Instead of giving billionaires another yacht, letâs give working people a better quality of life.

When we look back on this moment in history, what will you tell your grandchildren? Will you tell them you defended the rights of the most vulnerable? Will you tell them you stood against racism, sexism and bigotry? Will you tell them you spoke out, when others sat silent? What will you tell them?

Iâm not running because I want to be the kind of politician thatâs in office right now. Iâm running because we need someone to stand up for working people, including our most vulnerable populations. Trans rights are human rights. If you have a problem with that, youâll have to go through me.
