Still on X only because Obama follows me. 💙 Former VP Harris 2024 and President Biden 2020 staff. Misinformation and apathy are the biggest threats to our democracy. Advocate of #GoodTrouble. Opinions my own.
Proud to have graduated Magna Cum Laude from @fiu.bsky.social with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy and Service and a minor in Criminal Justice. Worked full-time. Studied full-time. Made sacrifices. And grateful to have gone back to school after 20 years to finish what I started. MBA next! 💪🏼👩🏻🎓

I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.
Can’t stop listening to @booker.senate.gov! He is on fire with “plenty of fuel in the tank!” 🔥 THIS is the energy we need in times like these.
Wow! @booker.senate.gov’s filibuster is 13 hours in and fighting the good fight. Live on his Instagram or page here: www.booker.senate.gov/live
