    It is atrocious that the President would refer to one of the most horrifying, violent practices of white supremacists to pretend he is a victim of anything but his own actions. Take this moment to learn abt this dark history,& why we should support the Commission on Reparations.

    I want you all to read “Lynch Law” by Ida B. Wells, the Black woman activist who forced America to reckon with her own racial terror, to understand why is not a term to toss haphazardly.

    Lynching is trending so here are some facts: From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the U.S., according to the NAACP. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. Also facts: President Trump deeply wants to change the subject away from the G7, Ukraine and Syria.

    Happy to take the title of Youngest Member of Congress from ya, ! 😉🙌

    BREAKING: “When is elected, not only will I no longer be the youngest person in Congress — I’ll have a strong new ally in the fight for Medicare for All, getting corporate money out of politics, and fixing our broken immigration system." -

    Lynching is a reprehensible stain on this nation's history, as is this President. We'll never erase the pain and trauma of lynching, and to invoke that torture to whitewash your own corruption is disgraceful.

    So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

    Good day to be reminded there is a museum to make us understand the terror and legacy of lynching “More than 4400 African American men, women, and children were hanged, burned alive, shot, drowned, and beaten to death by white mobs between 1877 and 1950.”

    If ~2 years and 20+ candidates aren’t enough for ya, I don’t know what to tell you.

    Party leaders who are worried about Democrats’ chances in 2020 are wondering about possible late entrants to the race. Sherrod Brown? Michelle Obama?

    Julián is a powerful presence in this race. I’m really proud of him & how he consistently uses his platform to uplift & center issues that are wrongly marginalized, like homelessness+police violence. Some folks try to make primaries vicious. In truth, we’re all in this together.

    I’m extremely proud of the historic and bold campaign we have built together. But this is a critical moment— if my campaign can’t raise $800,000 by October 31st, my campaign will be silenced for good. Help us keep up the fight. DONATE now:

    Fun fact: is the bomb & she’s also one of the funniest members of Congress. She’s a champion for working families & bravely holds down progressive values from a swing seat, showing that it’s a winning cause. Support her if you can:

    Cyntoia Brown is finally free after 15 years. Her story is a reminder that our criminal justice system is designed to unfairly incarcerate people of color. We need radical transformation.
