This moment requires renewed and revitalized leadership across the country AND at the ballot box.

On June 23rd, New York will be holding primary elections.

Tomorrow I will be rolling out a slate of New York endorsements.

Tonight, I am endorsing @JamaalBowmanNY for Congress.
Jamaal has dedicated the last decade of his life serving his community as a school principal and community servant.

I could tell you all about him, but he tells his story better than anyone else.
Not only is Jamaal a profound community leader, but I believe he’d make a fantastic colleague in the United States House of Representatives.

Support his campaign for Congress here: secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-jam…

One of the largest forms of theft in the US today is wage theft.
I experienced it first hand as a waitress.

A manager forced me to clock out before I was done finishing my work, & I couldn’t leave.

When I spoke up about it, my schedule was changed to late, unusual, poorly tipping hours for a week.

What’s also wild is the arrogance of some of these folks saying it’s “wrong” or “ignorant” for me to question the term ‘Human Stock’ bc it’s used in academia.

Plenty of awful terms have widely used without reflection. Over time language evolves to reflect evolved understanding.
Gotta wonder how many of these US economic “experts” have been able to go their whole careers without ever having to take a course or study the history US racial wealth inequality. It’s no wonder so many act as though poverty is either deserved or a policy accident. It’s neither.

Quite amused by the men in my mentions volunteering to explain my own joke to me
*DJ Khaled voice*: Another one
This is policy head for @BudgetHawks, btw. They lobby both parties for austerity policies in DC (aka cutting public safety nets when ppl need it most).

I call it out bc it matters when people who seek to influence policy are flippant + misogynistic towards members of Congress.
