It is clear today that the far left is what continues to not only divide our Democratic Party but lose us core support. I am sure progressives will claim that we lost because we didn’t go far enough and I adamantly disagree with that. I am not a one-issue voter. My commitment to the Democratic Party is unwavering, and I will always stand up for the core values that make it strong: equality, justice, and the protection of human rights but I refuse to accept that we must bend and be one the far left. As a proud Mexican Jew, elected official and Zionist, I firmly support the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and security in Israel. These two principles—my dedication to the Democratic Party and my strong support for Israel—are not mutually exclusive. This election, like all others, will not change my core beliefs. I will continue to advocate for both, because standing up for democracy and human rights is something that transcends any single issue. Democrats like me will not go away, and we certainly will not cave.

I think people who allege elections officers of “rigging elections” are grossly overestimating how much our staff like us. I get ‘good mornings’ and the occasional card. But no one is going to jail for me.
Shoot, I wouldn’t even go to jail for me.
Happy Late Indigenous People’s Day!! Reminder to Vote YES ON PROP 139 to protect abortion rights! Native women were forcibly sterilized by our gov’t through Indian Health Services in AZ as late as the 1980’s.
I’ve been kicked out of many govt meetings in my time, but I believe the most important meeting I have ever been told to leave was last month.
I had received prior approval to attend, drove 2 hours, arranged a videographer. I knew I would be the only reporter there… 🧵
The number of riders who have been killed annually has nearly doubled since 2010.
I'm sure that it is a coincidence that 2010-2103 is when smartphone usage and SUV/truck sales began to skyrocket.
