. @SenSchumer is wrong. We won’t see an end to mass shootings until we get assault weapons out of our communities. When it’s the right thing to do to save innocent American lives, real leaders don’t back down.

THREAD- My lessons on the Latino vote in Texas: 1) Young Latino voters are coming out in droves and voting for progressives- now is the time for progressives to invest the money in registering a million of them over next 2 years

I know that in this race one way I'll be attacked is for my identity. I'll be attacked from both sides- and it’s already started. Some say I am too Latina, too Mexican. How can I represent the needs of all Texans given my background of working on behalf of Latino families? 1/

We'll flip Texas by organizing locally and statewide. That’s why it’s so important to show up for down-ballot candidates, and it’s why I’ll continue working alongside candidates like @ElizMarkowitz . Thank you @betoorourke for your continued work to shape the future of our state.

Southeast Texas just had its fifth 500-year flood in five years. 5 people are dead. Hundreds of homes and business are damaged. The recovery is just beginning. The climate crisis is here, Senator. Your constituents are picking up the pieces today. We need leadership.

We must vote for Biden or Sanders if either is the #2020 nominee. Fight it out in the primary for your candidate but when it comes to the general election don't mess around. #Coronavirus has made clear that millions of lives are literally on the line

I disagree. Without a mandatory buyback program, we’re leaving weapons of war in our communities. That’s a recipe for violence. Our children’s lives are on the line. This isn’t a time for political caution.

Texas is seeing a wave of civic engagement from young people. In the 2018 midterm elections, statewide youth voter turnout was up almost 500%! 2020 will be decided by brown and black youth in Texas.

Black and brown folks aren’t asking white folks to be colorblind, they are simply being asked to be treated with the same dignity and respect that all people deserve- it’s pretty simple

Don’t reflect. Act. Courage isn’t sitting silently on the sidelines while Trump put a target on the backs of Latinos and immigrants. You can’t be a leader if you don’t have the guts to stand up to your own party and the white supremacist in the White House.

By 2030, Latinos will be the majority of the population in the Lone Star State; however, we are still treated like second class people all across Texas today. I am not your minority.

Rodney Reed is scheduled to be put to death on November 30. Reed, a black man, was sentenced to death by an all-white jury for the rape and murder of Stacey Stites in 1998. Witness statements now indicate that a white former police officer committed the crime. 1/2

Don’t be confused, Republicans didn’t win Latino vote in TX overwhelmingly across the state the majority (75% in metros) voted for Dems The GOP flooded the valley & small counties that are Latino to try & shift the conversation to make GOP seem less racist- don’t fall for it!

Latinos increasingly vote Republican. For the 1st time since Reconstruction a Republican presidential candidate won Zapata Co. in the RGV. I get more than 40% of the Latino vote. They like their energy jobs. They believe in God & oppose abortion.
