My mom learned English at 23 and sent 2 kids to college scrubbing toilets after my dad died. She raised the youngest woman elected to Congress. You should take your classist garbage & realize that the workers YOU rely on to eat are not ‘disappointments’ or unworthy human beings. https://t.co/H2krsGVFtP

Yes: if you hire a domestic worker and have the means, PLEASE continue to pay them through this crisis. So many families rely on domestic work to survive. My mom cleaned houses to put me through college as my dad went through cancer treatment. Your $ keeps a family fed &housed. https://t.co/3liiWa41rV

The cruise industry registers as foreign companies to avoid paying US taxes. Now they want US bailout money. Now the same Republicans who say immigrants who pay US taxes shouldn’t get help are bending over backwards to give 🤑 to foreign companies who DON’T pay taxes. Insane. https://t.co/inpD0wYWNU

The major need that hospitals across the country are echoing: PPE supplies and equipment. COVID is set to spike. There aren’t enough masks, gloves, ventilators, beds, etc to treat people. Trump needed to order mass production over a week ago to save lives. He didn’t. https://t.co/9ZXJPpjYxs

Trump is publicly admitting that he is holding Global Entry for New Yorkers hostage in exchange for dropping lawsuits against him and his family’s lawbreaking behavior. This is corrupt, illegal, and authoritarian. Hope Collins and Murkowski are proud of their vote. https://t.co/I49Ksj7VAm

Well, New York elected a bunch of “far-left radical socialists” and look at what happened. Brokers fees are now eliminated, saving working people thousands of dollars per move. 🌃 What’s next, affordable childcare? Cheaper medicine? Legal marijuana?? Truly scary developments. https://t.co/t3GWseRk0A

After much deliberation, I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution. None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it. Consequently, I will not be attending the State of the Union.

In the past decade I lost my dad, returned to the Bronx, fought off foreclosure w my family, struggled w/ student loans, & worked shifts in restaurants for years. At my lowest, I struggled w/ the thought that I’d never amount to anything. To those going through it: Keep going. https://t.co/G6QubqH9Ec
