I’m running for Congress, and I will stop at nothing fighting for a $15 an hour wage, Educational Access for All, Affordable Housing, and Medicare for All.

Join our movement, full of regular people and no corporate PACs, by following me on Instaand facebook(@thompson4congress)

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

Hey Everyone! I’m sad to announce this but unfortunately, I will be unable to continue running for congress. I would just like to thank all of my supporters, friends and family who have supported me along this journey. This fight isn’t over. Texas will flip blue. #M4A #BLM #GND

@Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema are the wall between our country's needs and the destruction of progress. They want to gut the Reconciliation bill so corporations will be protected from the $3.5 trillion bill's purpose.

The rise in crime and killings is a reflection of our society. We need common sense firearms reform: Background Checks, closing the Charleston loophole, and banning ghost guns. How many more lives need to be lost? #AbolishTheFilibuster #GunReformNow https://t.co/b9W4LpFCXI

Texas representative, @RepCuellar’s the only Democrat to vote against the Women’s Protection Act. Congressman Cuellar's fighting for the anti-abortion law. Don’t support politicians who don’t believe in reproductive rights! @SpeakerPelosi

Greg Abbott is an authoritarian career politician who is scapegoating immigrants to further his xenophobic agenda and further stigmatize migrants, asylum seekers, and immigrant communities. This is a crime against humanity. #BorderCrisis #ImmigrantsAreEssential #HumanRights

It is unfortunate how the media has been dismissing the hundreds of cases regarding Indigenous people. At least 710 lives from 2011-2020. Shameful.

Gabby Petito's homicide in Wyoming has become a national story — but it's also shining a light on the hundreds of Indigenous people who went in the missing in the state and didn't get the same attention. @kelseyvlamis reports:

Abolish The Filibuster and pass police reform. It’s not hard at all. Bipartisan police reform can’t happen when one party tried to overthrow an election and attacked our capital. #DefundThePolice #PoliceRefrom #AbolishTheFilibuster

Follow the dollars of privatized detention centers.

@JoeBiden is the new deporter-in-chief. This immigration crisis is caused by the lack of will to call out @JoeBiden and to abolish the filibuster. #AbolishTheFilibuster #ImmigrationReform #DeporterInChief #ImmigrantsAreEssential #HumanRights #BorderCrisis

Pres. Biden is using Title 42 to expel asylum seekers without their right to hearings.

Ex-Pres. Trump invoked Title 42 citing #COVID19, but health experts say it has no medical basis. Per @CNBC, it was used to expel:

▪️ 440,000+ people under Trump
▪️ 690,000+ people under Biden

In September 2021, she ruled against allowing a pathway to legalization for millions of immigrants to be included in the Democrats' $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Third STRIKE! The senate parliamentarian has lost their way, they need to be fired ASAP! https://t.co/Vui5l5drBE

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

Three strikes and you’re out! In Jan 2017, MacDonough ruled that a provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that would open the 1002 area of ANWR to oil and gas drilling, met the conditions of the Byrd Rule under budget reconciliation.https://t.co/yrnQyQT3cW #fireher (1/3)

In February 2021, she ruled against the $15 minimum wage provision in President Biden's proposed COVID-19 relief package being included per the Byrd Rule under budget reconciliation. https://t.co/YRxVo68GfN Second STRIKE. This increase would fight poverty #FireTheParliamentarian

Texas Democrats are underrepresented due to gerrymandering, voter suppression and years of systemic racism. We need to fight the #RepublicanRedistricting !

You can’t reform this. @JoeBiden and @BarackObama started this campaign years ago and progressives need to stop it ASAP!

US Border Patrol agents try to stop Haitian migrants entering an encampment on the banks of the Rio Grande in Del Rio, Texas.

US says it will ramp up deportation flights for migrants flooding into Del Rio as authorities scramble to alleviate a burgeoning crisis

This is triggering as hell!

A well respected doctor is being sued by a felon serving 15 years for Tax fraud. This abortion ban will only impact low income & marginalized communities. This unconstitutional & blatantly racist law requires everyone to pitch in & fight against this campaign to control autonomy

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

I stand with Alan Braid. Doctors should never be under threat of being sued for providing healthcare and abortion access. Texas republicans are attacking reproductive rights, voting rights, queer rights and need to be held accountable. https://t.co/oLyFCpO0D9

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

A 2016 house report shows that about 13 million has been spent on operating at least 92 stingrays. Immigrant and migrant communities are overpolicied and under constant threat from these oppressive organizations. https://t.co/N7madfzCD2

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

ICE also uses “Stingrays” or cell-site simulators to spy indiscriminately on lawful citizens. The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know that ICE is violating your basic rights. This technology is being deployed unlawfully and is a disgrace to basic privacy rights. #Stringrays

[Charles Thompson @Charles4_Change]

We need to #abolishICE, & CBP. They are a huge threats to human rights and a waste of money. These agencies terrorize immigrant communities, violate basic human dignity and reinforce xenophobia. The Biden Admin is complacent in this organized campaign of white supremacy.
