Here at home, inequality in military service means poorer areas of the country bear greater sacrifices for war. Abroad, 100s of 1000s of innocent people - dismissed as statistics - have had their lives ravaged by the consequences of our decisions. https://www.memphis.edu/law/documents/kriner-shen46.pdf …pic.twitter.com/RXq9j3iXee

This SALT bill does’t bring things back to the pre-GOP norm we’re used to. Due to expansion of the standard deduction, folks who want to claim SALT now need to pay ~$24k+ in state and local to get it. For those families just over that, the benefit may not be as high. /1pic.twitter.com/iXbTCOyOo7

They’re coming into the House, too. (No Christmas card here - but no coal, either)pic.twitter.com/gZgnC7vqms

Members of Congress also have to buy their plans off the exchange. They are Gold plans that are partially subsidized. That means I get to “choose” btwn 66 complex financial products. This is absurd. No person should go without healthcare, &no one should go through this, either.pic.twitter.com/bIeD71CD5g

This video is about the UK, but it might as well have been produced about the United States. The hoarding of wealth by the few is coming at the cost of peoples’ lives. The only way we change is with a massive surge of *new* voters at the polls. UK, Vote!pic.twitter.com/N5JYaVGCBs

What does a Green New Deal mean for housing? How do we center jobs AND justice with ambitious industrial policy to save our planet? Watch and see. (Narrated by @TedDanson, produced by @TheLeap_Org)pic.twitter.com/abYKumqA1f

I am so thankful for how our NY-14 community pays attention. The Congressional schedule has members in DC most of the week, so that often means events on nights/weekends. But people make time for it It’s Sunday night in Jackson Heights & we had a packed house talking policy!pic.twitter.com/F1jQrwRsYI

¡Y la culpa no era mía/ ni dónde estaba/ ni cómo vestía. El violador eres *tú.* - And the fault wasn’t mine/ Nor where I was/ Nor what I wore. The violator is *you.* Hell yes Solidaridad con nuestras hermanxs en Chile pic.twitter.com/XPtSfGzr1W

Spent today organizing and hosting a teach-in with our public housing residents at Pelham Parkway Houses. As we wrapped up the event, I went to admire the art by children in the community hung up on the walls. This one stayed with me:pic.twitter.com/gKGjvoYzZY

I want to be the party of the New Deal again. The party of the Civil Rights Act, the one that electrified this nation and fights for all people. For that, many would call us radical. But we aren’t “pushing the party left,” we are bringing the party home.pic.twitter.com/wLeDaxCHkZ

It’s only when we talk about acting on climate do some ask,“how are you going to pay for it?” As though climate inaction doesn’t have a price tag. As though the Midwest didn’t flood. As though California isn’t on fire. As though 1000s didn’t die in María.pic.twitter.com/nr9mG1bl7o

Back in the Bronx for our community Halloween & Harvest party! Over 600 people in the neighborhood came together to dance, decorate pumpkins, & share treats. (I went as industrial policy heroine Rosie the Riveter ) Special thanks to @bronxboundbooks for coming through!pic.twitter.com/nMQjf3g3Hv

If you take time to get to know @JCisnerosTX, you’ll understand how important her voice would be to Congress. Back in the day I used to organize &work w families in her community. This South Texas district is quite close to my heart. Check out her story:pic.twitter.com/F9Bc2kUyvu

Today I am endorsing Senator @BernieSanders for president. In the end, we must come together to defeat Donald Trump. We should do so knowing he is a symptom of a larger problem - and our greatest hope is a multiracial, working class movement in the United States of America.pic.twitter.com/9fiTS7FTX9

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! Spending the day in Denmark after C40, enjoying this social democracy that treats healthcare & education as rights, zero-carbon as priority, & infrastructure as a key public good. Here’s to another year of fighting for our future.pic.twitter.com/t2jfzNZPTe

Since the Trump admin is hamstringing the Census, we’re stepping in ourselves. Our organizing must go beyond elections. If you have friends or family intimidated about answering next year’s Census, start talking to them NOW. The stakes are way too high. #CountMeIn #Cuéntamepic.twitter.com/JGOauW0v7x

Anything less than a solution on the scale of the crisis is a form of climate denial. It’s time for #GenerationGND. pic.twitter.com/AgnVs06Tag
