Glad it's been dropped, but let's not forget how this started. As UCLA students protested against Israel's genocide in Gaza, @asmrickzbur.bsky.social demanded that the uni take action and punish the students for "antisemitism."

Trump admin took only took the next logical step.

Last night, I spoke in front of @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social about the importance of making California affordable for working families.

We need bold leadership in California, not more politicians who claim to stand for working families, but cozy up to corporate donors.

You have to have peasant-feudal lord mindset to even entertain coming to this event.

Even if you are worth $100M, you are infinitely closer to relying on MediCal (what this tax funds), than becoming a billionaire. The rich have to pay their fair share.

6 million Jewish lives were murdered by the Nazis during the Holoucaust as well many more. When this ended we said, "Never again."

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we don't just remember the lives taken, but also what that history teaches us. Never again means never again for anyone.

We must curb antisemitism wherever we can, but the biggest perpetrators are Neo-Nazis, Christian Nationalists, and White Supermacists — not Pro-Palestine/Antizionist protestors. In a time where antisemitism is on the rise, @asmrickzbur.bsky.social's AB 715 doesn’t make Jewish students safer.

Antizionism is not antisemitism. It is extremely dangerous to conflate the two. @asmrickzbur.bsky.social's AB 715, now law, is meant to silence pro-Palestine/Antizionist voices in our K-12 schools.

Make no mistake: This illegal act of war will not improve the lives of working class Americans and it certainly won’t help Venezuelans. I stand in solidarity with Venezuelans and everyone who is calling for peace. No more regime change and no more endless wars!

What Trump has done in Venezuela echoes U.S. actions in Iraq and Afghanistan post-911. We all know how those wars turned out. This isn’t about human rights and it’s not about drug trafficking either. How many lives are going to be lost so oil barons can make more money?!

Picked up the petition in lieu of filing fee forms! We’re just signatures away from being on the ballot this June.

If you’re in AD51, come sign our petition! It’s time for some new leadership. We need fighters who are committed to make California for All a reality.

Capital flight is a myth and it's been proven to be so time and time again. These same articles were written around Zohran winning NYC. Just ask Bill Ackman. None of these billionaires left NYC and they won't leave CA.

We can't let billionaires scare people into not taxing them

Our electortal system favors those with tons of money and resources. I am the only candidate in this race not accepting corporate PAC money. As a result, this decision has made this race an uphill battle.

Today is my 35th birthday! This time last year, if someone had told me that I would be running for office, I would've laughed.

It would be a birthday wish come true if you could donate to my campaign. It's people-powered, not corporate sponsored. secure.actblue.com/donate/colin...

Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other types of bigotry are never acceptable.

As we learn more info around this attack, we cannot allow people to use this opportunity to spread their hateful, racist, and Islamophobic narratives. Ahmed al-Ahmed bravely stepped in and saved lives.

There’s no room for antisemitism anywhere. This was a horrific attack on people who were simply trying to celebrate their faith as a community in peace.

My heart goes out anyone affected by this tragedy, especially towards the families who lost their loved ones.

On Wednesday, Dec. 10, I am going to have my first meet and greet campaign event at All Season Brewing Company.

If you're in LA, come on by! I would love to meet you and discuss my plans to make California for All a reality. I also want to hear what issues are important to you and your communities.

@asmrickzbur.bsky.social, @scottwiener.bsky.social, and @mayor.lacity.gov's statements are purposely tying antisemitism with antizionism. It's extremely dangerous to tie the actions of a far-right ethnostate to the religion of an entire group of people.

It makes our Jewish neighbors less safe.

Statements like this are dishonest.

You would never know it from @asmrickzbur.bsky.social's post, but the reason WHY folks were protesting this "private event" was because key speaker is the head of an Israeli Defense firm reponsible for the technology used to carry out the genocide in Gaza.

You made antisemitism worse in CA! It’s extremely dangerous to conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism.

We must tackle antisemitism in CA, no question, but the biggest perpetrators of antisemitism are Neo-Nazis, Christian Nationalists, and white supremacists not Pro-Palestine protestors.

“When it rains it pours, they got money for wars but can’t feed the poor.”

It’s disgusting to see what our country prioritizes in times of crisis. The US is one of the richest countries in the world. No one should go hungry.

Using people's hunger as a bargaining chip is evil.

Billionaires are destroying our planet, they’re sucking every single resource, and we as tax payers subsidize their companies.

Poor people aren’t the problem, billionaires are.

I promise anyone reading this that you have an infinitely higher chance relying on these social assistance programs yourself than becoming a billionaire.

If that day happens, I want to make sure that these programs are there for you. We must strengthen them not take them away.

This shutdown is about stopping the Trump and the GOP from cutting social programs that benefit working families.

He wants to cut them so he can give even more tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Trump is extorting the American people.

Roughly 1 in 8 Californians will have their CalFresh (SNAP) benefits taken away on Nov 1. 63% of CalFresh recipients are seniors and children.

He has the power to stop this, but he won't.

I’ve always been someone who has protested against our country’s injustices. It’s our first amendment right and we must fight to protect it as fascism continues to hold root in the US.

And yes, my handwriting still is that bad to this day.

Billionaires have more wealth than ever before. This extreme transfer of wealth to the top 1% has made all of our lives harder and we are worse off.

To protect their wealth, they spend loads of money try to convince us that the most marginalized are responsible for our woes.

These are lies!

That's why this campaign will never take money from any Zionist group/donor. I also won't take any money from corporations.

Please consider donating to my campaign. We are facing a big uphill battle. Help make CA and #AD51 work for working class people. secure.actblue.com/donate/colin...
