So grateful for all the support at the MDP convention. And a reminder to all of us: our movement is led by what we hope for, not what we oppose.
We cannot continue to make peace with a system that tells us that our best use of our tax dollars is to send money elsewhere in the form of bombs and tanks.
Thank you, Michigan Democrats!
Whether it’s fighting back against unchecked corporate influence or standing up for communities facing potentially harmful developments, this campaign is about putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of the people.
I’m incredibly grateful to have earned the endorsement of @saline-indivisible.bsky.social. Across Michigan, people are ready for a government that answers to them, not corporate donors.
Team Abdul taking over. Let’s go win.
I’m not having a debate about the meanings of words. I’m focused on making sure that people have the basic needs of a dignified life.
We have to have the courage to speak basic, foundational truths. All people deserve equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination. @mattxiv.bsky.social
You know who’s never caved to Trump’s tyranny? Unions.
Our incredible volunteers made this possible. I feel like a million bu— 30,000 signatures!
The days of health insurance companies eating before our families do have got to END. We need Medicare for All.

We launched this movement a year ago to build a Michigan that works for all of us. That means standing up to corporate power and fighting for guaranteed healthcare, good schools, and an economy built for working people.
Here’s what we achieved in the last 365 days. What can we do in the next 200?
Can you believe we started this campaign a year ago today?
It was built on a simple idea: It just shouldn't be this hard to live in the richest, most powerful country in the history of the world.
It was never about one seat, or one election. This movement is about ALL of us.
Where did the growth come from? Allow me.
Doesn't feel fake when I pay my bills. Hbu?
Trump's playbook is to blame every problem on immigrants. But immigrants didn't take your job or spike your healthcare. Here's who did…
ICE is not about immigration.
ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.
Abolish ICE.
The reason why people are sick usually has a lot less to do with physiology and a lot more to do with pathology in our politics. Air quality, water quality, whether you can walk in your community safely, whether or not you can see a doctor if you get sick in the first place.
Finally: a tax policy for workers, not billionaires.
“Our Fair Share Tax Agenda” includes:
—Taxing billionaire wealth.
—Stopping corporate tax evasion and price gouging.
—Rewarding companies that keep human jobs, instead of AI.
I put on my thinking cap to answer the age-old question: “How are you gunna pay for that.” The answer:
💸Our Fair Share Tax Agenda💸
Hint: We tax billionaire wealth so we can pay for good schools, universal guaranteed health care, and solid infrastructure.
No business as usual in the Senate. The only reasonable response from Democrats is to throw sand in the gears at every turn.
🚨We are proud to endorse @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to be the next Senator for the state of Michigan!
Abdul has demonstrated a strong commitment to upholding human rights and to advocating for pluralism, democracy, and justice in the United States, South Asia, and around the world.
It's official: we've submitted our signatures!
To the 29,750 of you who signed your name and the hundreds of you who volunteered your time to collect each one — thank you. We did it.
Now, onto August and November.
Thank you, Westland❤️
The American people are worse off because of the unjustifiable, illegal war with Iran.
Remember, Donald Trump is not the disease of our politics. Only the worst symptom.
Yes, let's defeat Trump. And let's defeat the system that allows corporations and special interests to buy and sell politicians in a way that leaves it rigged against the rest of us.
If we want real change, this is the way forward. Grateful to share time with Jennifer Welch to share some thoughts.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib speaks truth to power.
ICE cannot be reformed or retrained. ICE must be abolished.
