My campaign logo features the trans flag colors intentionally. Fighting for trans rights is a major part of my platform. I will ride with the trans community until I leave this earth.

If you’re mad about 🧊 and feel helpless, you can support the Soto family. After Gabriela Soto’s tireless efforts to free her husband Martín and public pressure, 🧊 released him on Tuesday night. They now have to rebuild their lives. You can donate to their Venmo @gabrielasoto-ve Every dollar helps!

Just so we’re clear, I’m a federal whistleblower and I’m whatever the opposite of suicidal is. apnews.com/article/eeoc...

Meet the federal worker who went rogue: ‘I hope that it lights a fire under people’

To billionaire Elon Musk and his cost-cutting team at the Department of Government Efficiency, Karen Ortiz may just be one of many faceless bureaucrats.

People of conscience, vote your conscience. NY-12, I’m your independent, anti-genocide, pro humanity candidate. I won’t let you down.

New ridiculous Dem talking point incoming… watch them using “bipartisan” all over the place, like stale croutons in a $hit salad. They just refuse to actually do their job and IMPEACH CONVICT and REMOVE Don the Con.

I’m so happy to announce that the New York Progressive Action Network has taken the bold step of endorsing an independent for Congress in the NY-12 race - ME! Thank you NYPAN! (DM me if you would like the press release) #ny12 #progressivecandidates #independentcandidate

I propose a tax exemption for people who refuse to fund genocide and illegal wars. The Taxpayers of Conscience Act.

I’m convinced the whole “imposter syndrome” discourse a few years back was a psy op because look at the absolute genocidal, ped0file protecting nincompoops running around DC. There should be way more of us regular folks running for office.

Unions should be PUBLICLY AND LOUDLY speaking out in support of trans people. Anti-trans rhetoric is also a labor issue. Support trans workers!

ICE is anti-labor.

Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing up to 16 yrs in fed prison for DOING HER JOB conducting oversight of Delaney Hall. And even though she is being targeted by tRumpty dumpty and co., NONE of her colleagues are invoking Rule 9 and calling for a vote on the many Articles of Impeachment already introduced.

ICË IS A CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION. ONLY DEGENERATES AND PEDÖPHILES WORK FOR ICË. IT’S OUR OBLIGATION TO FIGHT FOR OUR FELLOW HUMANS WHO ARE BEING ABDUCTED AND TRAFFICKED.

Polls show that a majority of Americans support impeachment. It’s Congress that needs to catch up and get on board. #impeachconvictremove

Fuçk IÇE and their torture gloves. Fuçk IÇE and their concentration camps. Fuçk IÇE and their electronic shackles. Fuçk IÇE and all of the contractors who do “business” with them. IÇE is a domestic ENEMY and shall be treated as such.

We celebrate #KarenOrtiz, a woman of true integrity and courage. By law, the #EEOC fights discrimination. Yet, in 2025, the new presidential administration began using the agency to discriminate. Then-Administrative Law Judge Ortiz risked her career to speak out.

If you have to hide somebody, do it. Be on the side of humanity and the right side of history.

It’s way past time to repeal the Patriot Act. End mass surveillance and state-sponsored murder.

A year ago I was fired by the tRump administration for refusing to comply with his anti-trans Executive Orders. I have zero regrets. Happy Anniversary to me!

New Yorkers, here’s where my team will be getting petition signatures so I can be on the ballot in November:

Ops be opping. New Yorkers, sign my petition to get on the ballot in November, tell five friends about my campaign, or donate $5 to help keep my campaign running! 🙏🏽 www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

Can we just say “Tax the Greedy” instead of “Tax the Rich”? Feeling extra salty because I pay more in federal taxes than the corporate hydra that has our country in a chokehold. TAX THE GREEDY

I said what I said.

Day 1 of petition signature gathering to get in the ballot as an independent for NY-12! Giddy up!

🗓️ Tomorrow (Thursday, April 9th) at 8 pm ET, join us for a roundtable about the law featuring three of our Courage Candidates: 🟣 Ericka Kopp @erickakopp.com 🟣 Jospeh Perez-Caputo @theballadofjpc.bsky.social 🟣 Karen Ortiz @karenortizesq.bsky.social 📽️ See you on Instagram live!

If a candidate is not calling for the U.S. to defund Israel, THEY SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS. Israel is killing families, babies, civilians. Israel is polluting the environment with bombs with our tax dollars. Support candidates with the moral clarity and courage to say: DEFUND ISRAEL.

Resistance is patriotic.
