Mother, Latina, first South American immigrant elected to Congress.
The Iran war is now on Day 37. POTUS is asking for more money from tax payers but wants to cut child care, Medicaid & Medicare. It’s about priorities: one day of war spending could fully fund childcare & bolster Medicare for our citizens. We need to invest in people, not conflict. 📺👇 @Univision @VIX
Next Tuesday at 1:00 pm we continue with our webinar series on the recent events in Minneapolis & the impact of civic participation on accountability and balance of power. Join @ChuckRocha @camoosomiller & Avonna Starch, on the ground in Minneapolis. Register: www.eventbrite.com/e/mobilized-...
According to @GrageDustin @X is the best networking tool. I’ve said it for a long time: users shouldn’t abandon a platform because of the increased polarization. If you want to be a part of the conversation, this platform should be part of your social media plan.
I am an Ecuadorian American, a former member of Congress, and the first South American–born person elected. As a mother, and as someone who understands what it means for families to come here looking for safety, this issue is deeply personal to me.
In Congress I learned that in this polarized environment you don’t win or lose your race because of a vote.The attacks in contested races are strategically coordinated regardless of any one vote. So, my advice is, win or lose, vote your conscience & hold the Republic together.
If you haven’t done so, register now! Next Tuesday at noon, we’re hosting along with Global Americans a serious conversation on what comes next for Venezuela after Maduro. We’re cutting through the noise to focus on what’s really going on: Will there be a democratic transition? 👉 lnkd.in/e9ZUKrWH
I come from the region. I’ve been to Venezuela several times. I know Venezuelans personally, family and friends who have lived through this crisis. That’s why it’s striking to see how quickly people who long ignored the human catastrophe now speak as experts.
As of 7:00 pm, here is a sneak preview in the City of Miami Mayors’ race, 70% of residents in the city are Hispanic.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell@debbieforfl.bsky.social · 9mo agoThere is so much to talk about these 2025 elections. But there is one area I’m watching that the media has hardly covered this cycle: the Latino vote. Asi que, pongan atención porque se van a sorprender con lo que viene….

To those who observe in our country and across the globe happy Rosh Hashanah. Shanah Tovah! Wishing you health, love and much hope for peace, reconciliation and a more United States of America.
A Federal Judge orders to shut down Alligator Alcatraz bringing justice & humanity to our immigrant community. This happened because of the efforts of organizations like Friends of the Everglades & the Miccosukee tribe who stood up to demand the laws be followed. amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

If we want young people engaged in politics and inspired to lead, we need more young voices—everywhere. In newsrooms, on podcasts, at major events. Their perspectives are sorely needed. I’m tired of the same old people saying the same old things. ¡Ya no más!
Extremely dangerous to threaten to arrest duly elected legislators for standing up against a direct attack on the people’s voting rights though a politically biased map. And they do it Bc they know their extreme agenda is losing support and they want to maintain control at all costs. @Univision VIX
What does Marco Rubio have to say about this blatant power grab from his buddy Bukele? We’ve seen the effects of pervasive corruption & abuse of power by authoritarian leaders on both the left and the right. Subverting democratic institutions must be condemned. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Opposition leaders say ‘democracy in El Salvador has died’ after scrapping of presidential term limits
Legislation allows rightwing president Nayib Bukele to seek unlimited terms, sparking fears of dictatorship

Ready to get into some good trouble with @dr.marvindunn under the @FIU education tree. Let’s do this Miami. #SisePuede
Today we are honoring an incredible civil rights leader, a friend and former colleague five years after we lost Rep. John Lewis. It’s time for some good trouble under the tree!
The White House is lying about the timeline before the flash floods in Texas. Trying to cover up their incompetence is immoral & dangerous. It’s not the first time they show complete disregard for loss of life: J6, school shootings, COVID, they lie for self-gain. UnChristian. UnAmerican. NO MAS!
Millions of families across the country may have someone with a disability or a parent who depends on Medicare/ Medicaid, or a friend who’s a single mom that needs Florida KidCare. But now, our health care is at risk bc alt-right polticians are supporting the Big Bad Bill. Call now to #savemedicaid
Trump is coming to FL to celebrate the opening of an illegal project, a waste of federal funds: Alligator Alcatraz. What no one is talking about is how this regime profits from these detention facilities. Trumps’ Big Bad bill provides billions in contracts for mass deportations.@cnnipr.bsky.social
The NYC Mayor’s primary race has shown that our nation is extremely diverse. What works in NYC doesn’t work in Boca Raton. That’s why we must elect people willing to reach across the aisle & compromise. Congress has 435 members from districts in Alabama to the Bronx. Remember that when you vote!
Donald Trump just informed the world on Truth Social that the US has bombed Iran. Only Congress, under the Constitution, has the authority to declare war. They must demand the President inform & coordinate any military action & explain to the American people why he’s brought us into this war.
Juneteenth marks both a celebration but also a solemn reminder that our work continues as we continue to build a nation with justice and equality for all. #juneteenth2025
The way some media outlets are covering the murder of Minessota Rep. Hortman and her husband is extremely dangerous. Call it for what it is, a politically motivated assasination by a right wing extremist.
Elon Musk just publicly stated that without him, Donald Trump would have lost the election and the US Senate would be 51-49 (R/D). I’ve always said we need to conduct an audit: Democrats: stand up and have the fortitude to look into this NOW.
❌ FALSE: Stephen Miller,Trump’s advisor & the architect behind the family separation policies & unconstitutional deportations, is lying to Americans & spreading disinformation. ✅ TRUTH: Trump’s Bad Horrible bill adds over $3 trillion to the deficit while 13+ mill Americans lose their health care.
