Politics is a tough field, but nobody is tougher than a grieving Mother.

What I need most is for you to stand with me. I am asking you to have my back - because I cannot do this without you.

I'm humbled by all of your support. You can donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/0819soc…
When National Republicans and Fox News attacked and mocked my elderly mother-in-law in April, I thought it was a new low.

I set the record straight.

When the NRA said I only won my seat in Congress “because I’m a black woman,” I called them out.

When an Atlanta talk show host told me to:

"Go back to the kitchen... go back to sewing stuff and leave my guns alone..."

I called him out, and he got suspended for his sexist remarks.

And yesterday afternoon when National Republicans started to accuse me of "politicizing a shooting," I didn't stand for it.

Neither did you. Thank you for having my back.

We have a lot of work left to do.

(1/x) Hi NRA! It's time we clear something up.

I won this race because - after my son was senselessly murdered in 2012 - I stood up to do something about it.

I knew it was time to fight back.

⬇️ Stand with me ⬇️

I was just a Marietta mom. I loved my son Jordan more than anything else in this world.

After Jordan was murdered - I realized that nobody was going change our laws for us, so I had to do it myself.
After Jordan was ripped away from me, I did not stop being his mom.

Every single thing that I do is out of the love that I have for my son.

My love for Jordan is what I extend to the work I do in my community every single day.

My son was murdered exactly six years ago to date. Every year, I am reminded that the title “reluctant activist” is painfully accurate.

This year, today comes just two months before I will fight for my son’s legacy in Congress - but it does not make the pain any less.

I know that I have been called to fight for change.

Because on the very same day I lost my son, there were 95 OTHER families in this country learning they, too, lost a loved one to gun violence.

[2/4]
On the day after I lost my son to gun violence, 96 families learned what I did the day before - they, too, lost a loved one to gun violence.

And since my son’s murder, almost 220,000 families have lost a loved one to gun violence.

Senator, can you explain to the nation why your favorite Sweden doesn't have minimum wage laws? If you can't, I will, See the following tweet.
Did you know the coffee shop where @Ocasio2018 “got her start” had to close down because minimum wage hikes have put them out of business?
1. Increasing minimum wage results in low-skilled young workers either being laid off or never getting a first job to build their skills for a better paying job later. Democrats always find ways to exacerbate problems while pretending to solve them.

Increasing minimum wage results in low-skilled young workers either being laid off or not getting hired, and Rent Relief results in rents getting raised because landlords know about it too. Democrats always find ways to exacerbate problems while pretending to solve them.
Politics Of Minimum Wage

The real minimum wage on the street is always the same -- zero!

However, Democrats advocate for it incessantly, because they count on the fact that those who get a raise will thank Democrats, whereas those who lose their jobs will blame the employers.
#politics #economics
People who support raising minimum wage must either think all employers are blood-suckers or that money grows on trees.

› back to black ‧ taekook au

the one where taehyung is a spy, jungkook is his target, and the world is their playground.
The first time Taehyung goes on a mission, it’s by complete accident.

There’s some sort of chaos outbreak at HQ, and before he knows it, Taehyung--an untrained, unpaid, unsure intern--is swept into a slick black SUV and sent off to an unknown location.
He looks around, not very optimistic at the sight of the other nervous faces in the car. When the vehicle finally stops, the doors are pulled open by a very gruff-looking man, his face streaked with blood and his arm in a rough-looking sling.
