El apellido no es cualificación para ser congresista. El nepotismo es un cancer que mata la democracia. Nosotros los latinos hemos visto lo que la aristocracia política hace a nuestros países.

It’s these big, new ideas that I want to talk about on Capitol Hill. I’m so grateful for the support of my neighbors in this endeavor! My sincerest desire is to do right by you./PS

@ZaidaGrunes Ive been listening to the singer who sang “Colombia, Mi Encanto” since I was a kid. To hear Carlos Vives & the hook to “En Barranquilla Me Quedo” (a song about my family’s city) by Joe Arroyo, I was floored. This video covers the cultural references: https://t.co/E2QrZWexSW

RT @cait_duffy: "They see a system that is disconnected from their needs, their wants, their desires, their livelihoods and it feels like you're just having this meeting for us to let it out, then you're going to go into a smoke filled room + do what you want." YES @Oseg

@jnaatus Your assessment is on point, & that’s my goal!

I feel the GOP & the local Democratic establishment actually have a lot in common, namely their loyalty to the wealthy elite. The only major difference is that GOP says the quiet parts out loud, but both actively dislike democracy & act as if your income measures your humanity. https://t.co/xbGrm6341T QT @jnaatus: )

Digital organizing should be so much more than just asking for cash (although plz donate). It should be an invitation to take the time & energy of ppl who care about progress on social media into the real world. https://t.co/Blelckursz QT @OrganizerMemes: )

The centrists have the majority. They own the White House. They have the power. Laying the blame on progressives is just an excuse for inaction. https://t.co/ltK3XFDDS3 QT @SumitAndTheCity: )

@CatGural @EssexClerk They gave me COVID as their excuse. Which is possibly the most hilarious excuse possible, when: 1) I didn’t request physical records 2) They can very easily search the digital records 3) I saw have ppl working in person w/ my own eyes

@leboism It’s a good idea, one I support, but that’s step 1. 1 or 2 NYCT stops on the NJ side of the Hudson doesn’t solve the bigger problem of general mobility in this community. It’s not enough. I think we need a system on par with the NYCT Subway to move ppl between points in NJ.

The point of having a government or an economy is to improve the lives of all. Anything else is pointless exploitation.

“Jersey City is a diverse city, but when I looked at the make up of Ward commission, it’s not diverse.” This latest commenter as well as many others have made this observation. These ppl were all appointed by the political bosses, this shows their values. #jcwardmeeting

I think a big problem w/ our gov is the complete abdication of power from the legislature to the executive & judicial branches. Congress is broken b/c as an institution it hasn’t adapted. Expand the House & Senate, & make Senate elections proportionally representative. /1

“It seems like your vote no longer counts.” They us to believe that, but they thrive on SUPER low turnout. An earlier commenter mentioned how Fulop was elected with only 10% of all voters in JC. Imagine if we had a voter turnout rate that our democracy deserves? #jcwardmeeting

@lspnj4all @LibertyParkNJ Stop taking astroturf money from billionaires and get a real job.

I love this letter writing campaign! I encourage you to write one also. What we also need are organizations with funds and resources to sue the Board of Ward Commissioners. Gerrymandering like this should be fought on all fronts! https://t.co/ZSAc3LRix5
