Worry less about what I do with my reproductive organs and more about the existing children developing PTSD daily due to rampant gun violence in the US.

Chauna Banks (D) is in a runoff December 12, with Blake Miguez (R) for Louisiana 6th Congressional District. We are still in the fight. Donate and spread the word. DNC do you support your Southern candidates? Black women are the reason for the Blue Wave. Will our party support them.

A year ago, I said Mississippi and Louisiana could be competitive with real investment. Turns out, I was right.
Now the country is talking about @scott_colom in Mississippi, while @jamieforlouisiana came within 25,000 votes in Louisiana.
I made the case directly to DNC Chair Ken Martin in April, after raising the same concerns on @joyannreid.
The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment.
Maybe it’s time national leadership started listening to Black folks on the ground who know what they’re talking about.
Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio. We’re building political power with or without them.
Share if you care. 🦾

Jamie Davis’ narrow loss to U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, R-Baton Rouge, has given Louisiana Democrats hope they could unseat a slate of Republican statewide elected officials next year, including Gov. Jeff Landry. #lalege #lagov

Congratulations, Abdul El-Sayed.
You turned that inshallah into alhamdulillah.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude knowing that we will now have 8 Muslims serving in Congress.
They told us we couldn't speak up, couldn't challenge the status quo, and couldn't make it this far. But we did.
Alhamdulillah.

National Democrats abandoned Louisiana and Jamie Davis ran on $0. And he STILL came within 2 points of the win.

"If Jamie loses by 2 points, we are going to get up Wednesday morning and we are going to wonder where the hell were you [national Democrats]?" - James Carville told me last week over his frustration that National Dems wouldn't spend $$ in Louisiana
Davis lost by 2. #lalege

At this moment of history, the Democratic National Committee and National Finance Committee have ignored the Southern States and gave no resources to the campaigns of Angie Nixon (FL), Jamie Davis(LA), and Scott Colom (MISS). Ms. Nixon and Mr. Davis lost by a couple of % points. Mr. Colom awaits a miracle victory on a razors edge. The Supreme Court destroyed the Voters Right Act of the Civil Rights movement and Black folks answered the clarion call to fight back because there is BLOOD ON THAT BALLOT BOX. To many died to turn back now. From this night forward there is a New Southern Stratergy led by advocates like Gary Chambers in Louisiana and Stacey Adams in Georgia. This is political malpractice by Chuck Schumer and the National Democratic Party. So while evil people plot, good people plan! The fight continues in the morning. Mississippi will be battlefront. Who in da Morning?@GaryChambersJr @rolandsmartin @staceyabrams
