It’s 103 in Las Vegas right now. Huge crowd of people willing to stand outside. Don’t sleep on
@JulianCastro
. He may not get respect from the press, but the people see him 💪🏽
At the Route 91 concert in Las Vegas, he ran off stage rather than tell people someone was shooting. And the crowd thought it was fire works or a malfunction sound system
31 people died at the scene, 413 people had gunshot wounds
Take care of our own?

Jason Alden linked his Try That in a Small Town song to mass shootings: “We want to take our kids to a movie and not worry about some asshole …shooting up the theater.”
Uvalde is a small town.
the vegas freedom fund has raised about $2500 in the last 24 hours. But unfortunately,

is charging everyone $1000 bail (plus $40 admin fee). We will try to bail out as many people as possible
Lombardo could barely run Metro, he always had the state to fix his mistakes. But that's not going to happen in Carson City. nvleg Ds will run circles around him

"I am asking," Goodman says, "Open the city, open

, open the state, for heaven’s sake. For being closed is killing us already."
Addressing the 130 Nevadans the who've actually been killed by the virus, Goodman says they're "less than 1/2 of a percent" of the state
What’s funny about this race is 4 years ago Irene legally changed her name from Zepeda to Cepeda, thinking being the first name on the ballot would help her chances…only to be completely routed by someone named Zamora

@SenatorReid
says he doesn't think Iowa or New Hampshire matter as much as people think. He said those states, which are mostly white, aren't representative of the country. Nevada is.
The average child asks 200-300 questions a day. So if an elementary school teacher has 20 students, they are asked a minimum of 4,000 questions a day… 4,000!
If your partner/spouse is an elementary school teacher, THIS is why they don’t want any questions when they get home.
People are posting on Nextdoor they’re not being given a chance to cure their ballots
Reading the replies and follow ups — they think “curing” your ballot is changing your vote 🤦🏽♀️
Ballot curing is to fix your signature, nothing else

History has been made! The bill to abolish the death penalty in Nevada makes it out of the assembly and heads to the senate -- never has happened before despite nearly 20 year effort

Not organizing in a county bc you can’t win is a self fulfilling prophecy. Little by little you can turn the tide, look what Rs have done in NW clark county
Two rural towns have elected gay, democratic mayors, let’s commit to long term organizing and build off of that!
They don’t want critical race theory bc they don’t want their kids to understand why 12 year Tamir Rice with a toy gun at a park was mistaken for a grown man, but 17 year old killer Kyle Rittenhouse and his AR15 was just a kid
The woman in this picture is Hatian. The border crisis is not just a Latinx issue. People from many different countries are being affected by trump's dismantling of the asylum process
In a Mexican detention center where the government is doing Trump's bidding, a migrant pleads with a photographer to give her and her sick child *drinking water.*
I understand that people are mad, but do not take this out on all Ds. Some people did the right thing, and have always done the right thing.

A teacher in North Las Vegas was in the news yesterday about an incident where an angry parent came into his classroom calling him a pedophile + throwing desks. No help came for 15 minutes. He said “what if they had a gun”
people responded to the news clip by making fun of him
Breaking News: A gunman killed 14 children and a teacher at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said. The 18-year-old suspect was also killed.
I took this picture at a breakfast they hosted for Nevadans who were in town. When it was my turn in the photo line, Senator Reid hugged me, then looked Ensign in his face and said “get out of our picture”
I don’t think this is the best use of a Nevada Highway Patrol social media account.
Protect and serve, and leave the anti-immigrant politics to your personal/private accounts and time.

He was unfairly blamed for the pandemic but showed he has what it takes to lead us out of the worst of it. TY♥️

on the statue of Hey Reb!: "I wanted to let you know that the Hey Reb! statue in front of the Tam Alumni Center was taken down this evening. In recent conversations with the donor we mutually agreed it was best to remove the statue and return it."
My mom was disowned by her family for marrying a Black man. But she worked to ensure we were proud of who we were. This pic was a trip to MT where she packed us a bunch of Black pride shirts. Yes, she was taking us to the whitest state but she wanted ppl to know we were Black AF
Latinx community outreach isn’t private meetings with a hand picked audience, it’s opening doors to the community to talk about their quality of life, their families, and the issues they’re fighting for

Too often candidates lose races then disappear only to re-emerge for the next election. Abrams chose to pour herself into on the ground organizing and create fertile ground for *anyone* to win, not just her
We need more of this selflessness from elected officials

LVMPD arrested 30-40 people tonight, including journalists, and have instructed CCDC not to OR anyone. Bail set at $1000.
Any efforts those tweets were trying to make, all was erased tonight
I appreciate your words,

@Sheriff_LVMPD
, it’s worth saying it again: I look forward us continuing our efforts to create, restore and augment trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve.
One of the things I loved about Harry Reid was he could verbally assault someone and never break a whisper
I also admired that he would get tired of a phone call and just hang up 😂
Bernie fans, try not to rush to dismiss South Carolina. More than 50% of the voters are Black. Realize what you look and sound like to dismiss them outright bc they don’t support your guy.
The only early state that has voted blue is NV, so SC being a red state isn’t an excuse
Remember Infinity War, when some Avengers were left behind after the snap, and they were all trying to hold things together until they could figure out how to put the world back together. That's about to Aaron, Zach, and Cisco

The nation's Democrats really need to give HUGE THANKS to the Las Vegas-based Culinary Union.
Without the huge political operation of the 60,000-member Culinary Union, Cortez Masto would not have won re-election & the Democrats might not have retained control of the Senate.
