I’m enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past & present!) The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can!
It’s national boyfriend day so is now the time I say my boyfriend met me when I talked on a dnc panel about digital organizing so when u think about it .... I digital organized myself a boyfriend ... thank u
@DNC
a lot of us are going to remember who stuck by & defended
@SusannaSGibson
, a QUALIFIED candidate we desperately need, when health care is an issue pushing folks to vote. Republicans are attacking her bc theyre scared of her! I respect
@SenLouiseLucas
so much for what she has done
I have nothing but massive respect for my lifetime friend,
@SusannaSGibson
. She hits the nail on the head with:
“You don’t get to treat women like this and have us sit down and be quiet,”

I know like a lot of people the holidays are a tough one. When I jumped on 2020’s, my family was done with me. Personally, I think the writing was on the wall when I was 8 and asked for a suit to prep for my presidential run. Nonetheless, it’s rough and you’re not alone.
Running a digital program for an entire state at 23, no college degree, & disabled. While having digital tools I will NEVER see again.
This account tweets about me non-stop and it is laughable. I thought women in politics lifted one another up ... or is that JUST a talking point
2 weeks ago, my mom got covid along with half my family. She was prey to the disinformation and refused the vaccine. She’s been in the covid unit this entire week after finally allowing care and every day her oxygen has had to be increased more and more. I finally got to see her.
People who think social media is just tweets are so oblivious to the organizing power of social media. You need to put that data in VAN, track those analytics, then mobilize those followers to do some active vol shifts smh
Hire disabled people at every level.
As democrats, our campaigns should be accessible. Meaning our outreach, tools, resources. Volunteering should be an easy process for anyone that wants to. Making it ableist not only hurts the campaign but the community in the long run.
Just want to say Senator
@timkaine
just walked by me at the Maggie Walker rally. He’s out here with his constituents and THAT’S why I worked my butt off for him in 2018 and why Richmond loves him— my heart is so full.
Someone called the news station after my story aired and thanked them for airing it. I’m so eternally grateful for everyone whose always empowered me instead of knocking me down.
Truly this is why I do the anything. We have so much damn work to do y’all.
Blue Commonwealth Gala is less than a month away and this is my official audition for
@vademocrats
to let me launch their tiktok and do a bit where I pretend to be “live from the red carpet” and ask everyone what they’re wearing and how excited they are to see Jon Tester
When you’re on a zoom call in your oversized Mark Warner sweatshirt that has papa john’s buttery garlic stains and realize you’re on camera with Olivia Pope
You want recent example of getting better margins in rural areas?
Mark Warner got 26% of vote in Buchanan in 2020
Might not sound great, but you know what Biden got? 16%
McAuliffe got 15% this time
Warner still tries in SW and makes a difference
@ people tweeting ‘jOe biDeN iSnT gOinG tO wOrK fOr uS’ who never made a call, text, etc to unify against Tr*mp while this mans signs a stack of executive orders as tall as me after being sworn in just hours ago 👁👄👁
I built a virtual field office that was supposed to mimic the feeling of walking into the traditional field office that had a goal of 1k Virginians and on E-day we hit 5k. You were able to pull lists and track vol growth from it.
To our peaceful protestors: We are sorry we had to deploy gas near the Lee Monument. Some RPD officers in that area were cut off by violent protestors. The gas was necessary to get them to safety.
When Taylor Swift said “..And it's new
The shape of your body, it's blue..” she was actually talking about the Commonwealth of Virginia’s political landscape send tweet
I do not have a degree!!
I was 13– monetized and partnered on YouTube, wrote my own show about making politics cool when I was 19, then did a fellowship with the party at 20!!!
You do not need a piece of paper to be scrappy and care.
Invest in the youth.
As a former sick kid who gets calls, Facebook messages, etc from parents of kids who get diagnosed with POTS and don’t know what to do… this is going to KILL PEOPLE
Okay folks,
@peteymca
just had our first post-rona beer and we decided:
If this tweet gets 1,000 RTs we will get the
@gibsonprint
union bug on our asses 🤝
If you had told 19 year old me, who started as a Fellow for
@vademocrats
in 2017 because she wanted to make sure no kid went without access to healthcare like me, she’d be on a
@DNC
digital organizing panel after successfully overseeing 3 digital programs in 2020...
Wow ?
Some good news in a rough year, I’ve been in remission for years & all I ever wanted was to bring attention to the every day fight those w POTS are forced to fight in silence.
This year, I received lots of messages from Virginians expressing gratitude that they were finally seen.
I have gastroparesis and I ate cheese and bread at dinner and my boyfriend poked my stomach and said “THAT’S A BRICK WALL IN YOUR STOMACH..
@SenLouiseLucas
IS IN YOUR STOMACH”
I’m so attacked right now
TODAY 🚨⬇️
@SusannaSGibson
announces the formation of her PAC,
@MyOwn_PAC
.
The purpose is to support candidates dedicated to legislative reform pertaining to gender-based & sexual violence.
I’m so excited for the difference this will make in election integrity for women.
I don’t want to take away from
@OrganizerMemes
’ thread and the stories people have told. We organize with heart and a lot of times— people take advantage of that. I know a lot of folks are hurting and felt burned, I have too at points.
We do a great disservice to community organizing by making community organizing inaccessible to those community organizers who have real connections, ideas, and investment. You see that in off years to even presidential years.
Last thing on the jacobin article. Tons of disabled people are organizers.
Had my campaigns required people to move/ canvass/ run offices etc so many much talent would have been lost or deprioritized had we gone in person
Hi folks! I’m really excited to have joined the effort to send
@JennMcClellanVA
to Congress and run her texting program!
You can sign up to TOTV (text out the vote) below ⬇️
I spent the first 18 years of my life in Memphis — tonight I’m praying for those demanding Justice. Those using their voice and protesting for rights they deserve. They deserve better than the fate Tyre faced.
f*** our health care system because all the years of having to fill gaps my insurance(s) left as a kid before I went into remission & I had to organize online for supplies it didn’t cover finally paid off.
Hi from TN/VA line, I’m the first one in Pennington Gap to get the vaccine
After launching a little over two years ago, I’m enthusiastic to share
@PruettConsult
will be merging with
@DemsGive
.
With this partnership, I’m optimistic that our common goals will be achieved.
I hope you will all continue to reach out for all digital needs!
My heart is so full to share the creation of
@VaPOTSAdvocacy
.
I've had POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) for 10 years.
In those 10 years -- I've seen millions contract POTS still no FDA approved cure or treatment, & the cost of infusions go from $300 to $8k.
Happy Halloween and last day to in person early vote!
Don’t be tricked by the other side. 🤡🎃 Voting by ‘Mel’ has never more easy AND convenient! 👩🏻💻✨🗳
Just ask the over 2 million Virginians who have voted. You can make a plan below! 👇

Today, I’m thrilled to announce I’m running for my previous role as Political Director of
@VAYD
, after weeks of consideration and conversations with young Dems, friends, and various executive board members across the Commonwealth.
Starbucks discontinued my go to drink and today I tried to remake it on the app but got ten (10) espresso shots accidentally and anyways I don’t think I can ever sleep again
Even though we wrapped up the campaign a week ago, today I sat down to make thank you goodie bags with
@ethanclynne
to send to
@VATeenDems
.
They’re not old enough to vote but they made hundreds of thousands of DVC and relational contacts. They were our most reliable volunteers!
It’s funemployment and it’s not so fun.
I’m not saying me and
@itsmebeccam
are the same person but has anyone seen us in a room together?
Well, Monday at 8PM ET, we will be to talk about all things digi!
A beautiful video from
@JenniferWexton
about her recent diagnosis.
Something to highlight is Rep. Wexton talks about how she is still capable to do her job and the misinformation surrounding the disorder.
Overall, so many people with conditions are made to feel inadequate.

I'm doing well, and I want to bring about as much good from this diagnosis as I can—including here in Congress.
