Tomorrow is Election Day in Georgia and the stakes could not be higher. We’re seeing how far some will go to retain power and threaten the fundamental principles of our democracy. But our democracy isn’t about any individual, even a president—it’s about you.
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons ... conspire to ... prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States ... they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
I’ve survived sexual assault, police abuse, domestic violence, and being unhoused and uninsured. That's not a unique pain I carry. It's one that so many of us live with each day.
Today, I take my seat in Congress to fight for a world where nobody has to endure that pain.
Trump committed a crime under Georgia law -- criminal solicitation of election fraud. As the Supreme Court held in Trump v. Vance (2020), a sitting president is subject to criminal process. So when he enters Georgia, he can be arrested and charged.
After a year that has tested us in unimaginable ways, we've seen how people from all walks of life have stepped up to create change to make things better. Here's to ringing in 2021 with optimism for what's to come and a belief that our best days are still ahead. Happy New Year!
OPEN YOUR EYES: You’re being used. Your values & morals are being hacked by someone with a golden toilet while your grandmother is dying, your sick niece is launching a GoFundMe, and you might gett a $600 check from someone who gave his daughter millions in your tax dollars.

To folks living with HIV dealing with making sure you have access to your meds & doctor, I see you & love you. There is no limit to what you can do with your life. You can be healthy, gorgeous and thriving. 💗 people can be ignorant & hateful AF, but we don’t have to be. 🏳️🌈
REMINDER: CA, you are now REQUIRED to wear a mask in public spaces.
We’re seeing too many people with faces uncovered. Wearing a face covering is critical for keeping people safe and healthy, keeping businesses open and getting people back to work.
Do your part. Wear your mask.
I’m going to keep saying it— we do not need a leadership focused on uniting with the party that’s working to overthrow democracy. We need a leadership prepared to defeat them. Otherwise it’s a wrap.
Republicans are going to act like the difference between $600 and $1,200 is no big deal. This is infuriating.
I’ve been unhoused. I’ve lived paycheck-to-paycheck. The difference of $600 is having a hotel room or sleeping in the car.
$1,200 was already the compromise.
