All eyes are on Virginia tomorrow. As someone who fled war and grew up undocumented, there is only one candidate I trust to fight for a Green New Deal, end endless wars, and guarantee healthcare as a human right. That's why I'm proud to endorse @BernieSanders for President.

Dabke dancers performed at Bernie’s rally today in Michigan. This is an absolutely incredible picture and a simple reminder why our communities overwhelmingly support @BernieSanders . Because he’s home to us. He sees and values us, a rarity in politicians. (Via @AbdulElSayed )

As we begin this new chapter, we should be centering the voices of people of color, who for too long have been shut out by the Richmond old boys club. We’re demanding a new Virginia way—an inclusive, progressive Commonwealth. #NorthamResign

Thanks, @jaketapper for removing the tweet. Groups like the MEK use disinformation operations to trick reporters. Let's make sure they don't succeed.

We gave it our all and we came up a bit short this time. But I want every person who believed in us—every volunteer who made phone calls and knocked doors, every progressive group who stuck their neck out for us, every neighbor who took time on a hot day to vote for change

Strategizing w/some of my favorite DNC members. We’ll keep fighting for the grassroots b/c that’s why we’re here. We also know too much is at stake & we cannot afford to alienate young voters— a key group that Democrats need in order to win in 2019, 2020 & beyond #ClimateDebate

Military equipment should never be used against Americans exercising their First Amendment right to peaceful protest. We can ban police from using military equipment from the 1033 program against peaceful demonstrators with 60 votes in the Senate next week #DemilitarizeThePolice
