Running for Michigan State Senate District 2 to serve and fight for every person in our communities like they’re family
- It feels outrageous to me that our credit scoring system is run by three profit-driven companies that are allowed to sell us products that boost the scores they assign us.
- Tonight on the @MichiganDems presidential endorsement call, I was speaking up for the 101k Michigan Uncommitted voters who want our Party to adopt a more humane Gaza policy when a fellow DNC delegate unmuted to say "shut up, asshole."
- No is not an acceptable answer. Please reconsider. We’re being extremely reasonable. I’m waiting for the call from the Vice President’s team. I can’t go anywhere until the Vice President agrees to having a Palestinian American speak from the stage. I’m waiting for the call.
- NEWS: With heartfelt congratulations, I am happy to confirm that Congresswoman Cori Bush married the love of her life, Cortney Merritts, this month. (1/5)
- The genius of @CoriBush’s action wasn’t just that she put her body & her well-being on the line to force change. She led a national movement in a pivotal moment. She organized & implemented a winning strategy & pressure campaign—on no sleep. Do not erase the genius in her work.
- Replying to @abbasformiAs a Dem & former Dem staffer, I was appalled & hurt to receive anti-Palestinian vitriol from a colleague & not have any Dem electeds on the call unmute to push back. As an Uncommitted Delegate, I'm urging Dem leaders not to ignore over 730k+ Uncommitted voters nationally.
- After serving the people of MI-13 under Rep. @RashidaTlaib’s fearless leadership, I’m over the moon to be growing in our progressive family into the role of Chief of Staff to Rep-elect @CoriBush. MO-01, St. Louis—your Congresswoman & her team love you and are ready to serve.
- When @CoriBush introduced the Ceasefire Now Resolution, only 13 members of Congress supported. Because of the steadfastness of the Palestinian people & the relentlessness of our anti-war movement, 40 members of Congress are now calling for a ceasefire. The pressure is working.
- Madam Vice President, our loved ones are not sure they’ll survive through the night. What they’re telling us they most urgently need right now is for this administration to stop sending Netanyahu bombs.The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there. To that end, the United States will provide
- Replying to @abbasformiOur @uncommittedmvmt demands are reasonable: we just want a ceasefire and for our party's leaders to stop sending bombs to kill people we love. And right now, Uncommitted Delegates want to meet with @KamalaHarris to express what we're hearing from the voters we've mobilized.
- 60 years ago, the DNC refused to seat Fannie Lou Hamer & the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. We walk in that rich tradition of Black-led organizing that has achieved enormous progress & teaches us how to keep pushing for justice. We’ll keep pushing. #NotAnotherBomb
