    I LOVE how fired up our NY-14 town halls get. This is New York City! Getting fired up means you care. I’d never discount the passion and courage it takes to stand up at a town hall. So this was a great moment and an awesome opportunity to have this honest conversation. 💜

    The reason people know more is bc Fox News has turned into “AOC TMZ” (no offense to TMZ), so awareness is growing w/ GOPers. has reported deeply on this propaganda machine + it will be aimed at any Dem they want. Nothing changes that. We can’t be scared by that.

    If you want to know what subconscious bias looks like, it’s a headline saying “AOC is underwater with every group EXCEPT women, nonwhites, and 18-34 year olds.” So older, conservative white men are considered “everyone” and everyone else is discounted as an exception. Cool 👍🏽

    The latest Freudian GOP conspiracy theory is that there’s a secret “guy who made me” + that my male chief is “actually” in charge (🙄) They got one thing right. There is a guy who made me. My father. And my Papa raised me to command my own destiny and put patriarchy in the 🚮

    The right-wing actually cannot believe that a working class latina like is smart, talented, and capable. They are creating entire conspiracy theories to try to disprove her intelligence. So here's some facts to show y'all just how good she is.

    Can someone break down the “progressivism doesn’t work in the midwest” thing? - Ilhan reps Minnesota - Rashida reps Michigan - + are polling as top issues in Iowa - The progressive message WON in 2016 primaries So what do these folks really mean?

    Rahm Emanuel suggests that The Bronx and Minneapolis are not "the middle of the country" and that + 's policies don't represent "the middle" either. Emanuel represents a deep blue Chicago and is against a Green New Deal and Medicare for All - so what's his excuse?

    Agreed. We can’t not talk about it anymore.

    I would really like to hear our presidential candidates speak at length about the rise of white nationalism and extremism at home and abroad.

    This WHOLE line of questioning yesterday was abt how Kris Kobach (who’s funded by white supremacists) was deeply engaged w/ Sec. Ross to add a drafted citizenship question to the . Ross’ excuse was Voting Rights. But his story doesn’t add up.& He skirted law to add the Q.

    The strong line of questioning and level of preparedness from for every committee hearing is fascinating to watch. Watch her full questioning of Wilbur Ross regarding the proposed 2020 Census citizenship question.

    Obama was the first presidential candidate I ever voted for, at 18 years old. The GOP has been calling Dems + healthcare policies socialist my entire voting-age life. My rec is learn how to effectively counter the attack instead of running away every time they call us a name.

    Centrists ignore clear evidence that GOP will label all Dems as Socialists, regardless of their actual votes and views.

    Let me quickly explain why the Christchurch mosque shooting affects many of us, not just Muslim communities. If the shooter's manifesto and social media feed are accurate, he was inspired by a right wing ideological infrastructure that thrives, recruits and radicalizes online 1/

    Daily reminder that we have a **Muslim Ban** in this country made out of the President’s hostility to Muslim people w/ little-to-no supporting evidence, and a Republican Party that tolerates it. There is so much work to do. Repealing the Ban is square 1.

    At first, learning about white supremacy can be confusing or challenging. There’s a lot there, + it can be emotionally hard to realize one may have done or participated in something racist in the past (& still may slip up!). That’s okay. The whole point is learning + improving.

    WE ALL can play a role in recognizing + preventing spread of white supremacy, especially our white friends. There are lots of community orgs, writers + groups that help people learn to spot white supremacy. is one in NYC, but please share others:
