Simply put, Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of the greatest figures of our time. A Radical rooted in love, liberation, and solidarity.

As I run for Congress, I do so standing on the foundation that leaders like Reverend Jackson laid.

Rest now, Reverend. You are, forever and always, somebody.

President Trump IS the Epstein Class.

This is the Epstein Administration.

I am angry, disgusted, and mark my words, on DAY 1, as your congressperson, I will introduce Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Pam Bondi, and this entire pedophile-enabling-predator-protecting administration.

Shame on you Mark Alford for turning a blind eye to these barbaric atrocities.

Just so weโ€™re clear. Rep. Mark Alford would rather distract you with this sort of nonsense than call for an investigation into the Epstein files.

Far more dangerous and concerning than a performance grounded in unity and love that he definitely did not watch.

Behaving like a true pedophile who takes pleasure in cultural wars rooted in racism.

The oligarchs will tell us itโ€™s โ€œleft vs. right,โ€ but we know the real fight is the rich vs. the rest of us.

Our campaign will always be on side or the working class. Weโ€™re going to tax billionaires out of existence and empower organized labor, not C-suite execs.

Congressman Mark Alford stands with pedophiles, oligarchs, and sex pests.

OUR campaign stands with the working class.

Join us as we take our country back.

What we need less of are polite speeches. We need leaders who are ready to disrupt, organize, and deliver.โ€

We are honored and proud to have Waltonโ€™s support and look forward to organizing alongside a powerful community leader as we continue this fight for justice together.

If youโ€™re comfortable, youโ€™re probably not fighting hard enough. Thatโ€™s why I support Hartzellโ€”because I firmly believe that achieving justice isnโ€™t about protecting broken systems. Itโ€™s about choosing people over power and demanding change.

In her endorsement, Walton said, โ€œPower concedes nothing without a demand. Justice is earned by building power. Justice was demanded by the truthtellers who unapologetically refused to stay quiet, refuse to settle, and refuse to be erased.

Today, Walton proudly announced her support for our campaign and for Hartzellโ€”a leader who understands that real justice doesnโ€™t come from protecting broken systems; it comes from demanding change.

If your electeds, from city hall to Washington D.C, donโ€™t have the stones to say, Abolish Ice and defund the imperial war machine, they donโ€™t deserve be an elected anymore.

In Congress, I will use the fullest extent of my bully pulpit at every level of government.

My great-grandmother, Mama Cilla, always said: โ€œYouโ€™ve got to love everybody.โ€

In a nation built on the backs of black and brown folksโ€”our immigrant communities, we the people demand that ICE be dismantled & ABOLISHED.

Government employees are superheroes and itโ€™s about time we started treating and paying them as such.

Congressman Mark Alford isnโ€™t working for you.

He literally doesnโ€™t care about you.

Donโ€™t take my word for it, take his.

This is what happens when a federal agency is allowed to operate like a gang โ€” masked, armed, unaccountable, and terrorizing our neighborhoods.

This is not enforcement. This is not normal. This is murder dressed up as โ€œpolicy.โ€

We demand accountability and prosecution. Abolish ICE.

Abolish ICE and prosecute every single one of these gestapo stormtroopers.

Itโ€™s the home stretch & we are so, so close to our $15,000 goal.

Our average donation is just $21.50, & every single dollar goes straight into building a strong ground game, engaging more volunteers to knock doors, text, call, & build a stronger community together.

Letโ€™s finish strong! We got us!

Shout out to our friends at @climatedefiance.bsky.social for connecting the dots.

We must stand with the people of Greenland and must reject Trump's efforts to destroy our planet. The whole world says no, and we echo the same sentiment.

The plan is to bring a $100 BILLION hyperscale data center campus to the Northland will also bring massive energy use, more strain on the power grid, millions of gallons of water used every day, and possible rate increases for Kansas City residents. We need a data center moratorium, now.

It is a good day to be a Kansas Citian!

This morning, I had the pleasure of attending the South KC Democrats meeting to talk to voters and community members.

This campaign will serve as a safe place for all of Missouriโ€™s 4th Congressional District.

Our message to Alford is clear: you do NOT turn our precious district into a right-wing prison camp for immigrants on whose backs this country is built.

Not on our watch!
