This is why I'm running for Congress. We must resist. #CA34
This is bigoted & racist. It suggests there is one tradition & one appearance that all humanity should conform to.

I have tremendous respect for Senator @BernieSanders and our shared values, but this election, I’m going with the fighter from my home state, and that’s Senator @KamalaHarris. #ForThePeople ✊🏼 California represent!.
One notable endorser on this list: Los Angeles Assemblywoman @wendycarrillo, who backed @BernieSanders in 2016.

Had lunch w/ VP @JoeBiden today. At the end of serious convo, I asked him, when you’re having a rough day, what do you listen to? He took out his phone and played “The Best” by @LoveTinaTurner. He said, “it reminds me of my wife and how much I love her.” #Election2020 🎶

Why we need Ethnic Studies 👇🏼 I didn’t learn about the UFW, Cesar Chavez and boycotts until I was in college and specifically took Chicano Studies. Should just be part of American History - because it is.

He said, "I'm not throwing it back at police, I'm throwing it away from children" #EdwardCrawford
Edward Crawford is dead. Found in his car shot to death. He is #Ferguson's hero. For those of us tear-gassed, he was our local champion. RIP

Children are being tear gassed by a @GOP “family values” administration led by @realDonaldTrump. This is a despicable human rights violation and act of pure cruelty. Is this what we have become as a nation whose very foundation is freedom and justice? Shameful. #MigrantCaravan

I just donated and got three people next to me to donate $5 to @JulianCastro. Regardless of whom you’re supporting, former Obama Secretary of Housing, Julian Castro needs to be on the debate stage. 👇🏼 #Election2020.
Thanks to the support of more than 63,000 people, I’m right on the edge of guaranteeing a spot on the debate stage. We just need 2,000 more new donors. Can you help? ⏩

I was just 25yrs old when I got my big break in radio broadcasting. Kobe was 27, and he was king of Los Ángeles. I was nervous, but he smiled and made me feel calm, smart and like I mattered. He did that for a lot of people. #RIPKobe 🙏🏼

Do we know of any seamstresses, quinceañera dress makers, Tia’s que saben coser, in East LA, Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, anywhere, that can help make some face masks? I’ll buy cloth & materials. We need to give to clinics, hospitals, first responders who are short of supplies.

I’m proud to be of the #Obama08 generation. Helped open the #LatinosForObama office in East LA during the primary against all odds. I was inspired and continue to be Fired Up and Ready to Go! It’s how I met @BuffyWicks & @AsmJoseMedina and we now serve in #CALeg!
It’s hard to believe that 15 years have passed since I stood in front of the Old Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, and announced my candidacy for President. At the time, our campaign was viewed as a longshot—historic perhaps, but unlikely to end in the White House.

Luckily this persons Twitter feed does not decide an election. The American people do and we overwhelmingly voted for @JoeBiden. So there’s that. ☺️ 🇺🇸.
He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a RIGGED ELECTION!.
