Transgender and gender nonconforming people are just as valid as your gay best friend. You can’t truly love the LGBTQ+ community and forget to advocate for TGNC people, especially trans black women, who have done so much for the community yet get the least amount of respect
And since Crockett brought it up: let’s talk about Black voters & the weaponization of identity politics. You might not vote because there’s no black pple on the ticket?
Choosing idpol over democracy & your own rights? We need to stop allowing these people to control the party.
Grateful beyond words to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Africa this Juneteenth. A day that honors freedom, resilience, and the generations who paved the way makes this moment even more meaningful. This cover is bigger than me it's a reflection of the communities, dreams, and legacies that continue to move us forward. Happy Juneteenth❤️🖤💚
*record scratch*
Yup, that’s me.
You’re probably wondering how I got here.
My name is Darializa Ávila Chevalier. Last year, I was a field lead for @zohrankmamdani. Now I’m a candidate for Congress in NY-13, running with his endorsement.
Believe me I’m bookmarking this one for every time a local journalist tries to make democratic socialism out to be a thing of the young white gentrifiers in the coming years.
it’s really shocking that WFP decided to go as hard as possible against DSA in NY-7, dumping literally millions of dollars into this race to stop Claire that could have been spent anywhere else. Meanwhile they’re on the sidelines in the fight against espaillat.
@BookerGWash@brushmastery2 lol calls DSA snakes and then conveniently leaves out who Espaillat endorsed in the primary (Cuomo).
So why can’t Zohran also have the freedom to endorse who he wants in a primary?
Your tweet just seems like a projection of your own moral failings
.@AOC is not doing a very good job of building such an operation by staying out of literally every race across the country where a potential ally is running to take out a pro-genocide, establishment Dem in Congress.
@nazzobetweeting I’m interested to know what you count as a “ethnic/immigrant enclave”
Area like Washington Heights, Harlem, a lot of the Bronx, Flatbush, Canarsie, Sunset Park, Jamaica and a lot more are all blue?
Meanwhile, most of the areas in red are predominantly white immigrants lol
While online centrists were having *yet another* meltdown over the diversity of DSA canvass pictures, DSA was busy electing a black woman as mayor of DC with a coalition of working and middle class black voters. Policy, messaging and outreach beats canvass picture diversity!
@LevineJonathan This is a very misinformed view of reality 😂
Black and Brown people have been at the forefront of the socialism in America for DECADES.
It’s really only been since the 2010s that white people started joining the movement.
