Caring for other people isn’t a weakness. It’s a strength. And we need to model that strength—not with bravado or cruelty, but by showing up with purpose and humanity. 🧵

Run away from AIPAC please. Let Stevens be the Israel first candidate. You can be the America first candidate.

why does your ego era feel the need to make videos of your face? asking for activists from outside back when you lived at your mom's house

You're one of the leaders that all Democrats want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with, Mallory!

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much has changed over my lifetime—how Barbie went from an impossible beauty standard and an object to a symbol of aspiration - the next president or an astronaut and a judge.

The princess movies my four-year-old daughter watches now aren’t about damsels in distress; they’re about heroines who save themselves. That’s real progress.

I always loved Brave for that very reason. I think it was the 1st time I realized the princess wasn’t waiting to be saved. I don’t have kids, but I appreciate the evolution of the “damsel in distress” 👸

I used to love reading aloud The Paper Bag Princess in my early childhood classrooms in the years after it was first published in 1980. A similar role reversal.

I hope I am around long enough to see my three month old twin granddaughters kicking butt and taking names. They have two older brothers, so you know they are going to learn how to defend themselves.

But at the same time, American culture has created a vacuum for young men. And into that vacuum, people like Trump have stepped in—with toxic masculinity dressed up as power - the idea that others’ progress has come at the expense of your success, particularly if you’re a young man.

On Election Day 2024, volunteers working the polls on college campuses in Michigan reported young men show up in MAGA hats, clearly there to vote for Trump and no one else. That tells us something.

We need to speak to those voters—not by mimicking Trump’s style of cruelty, but by offering something better.

That’s why one of the pillars of this campaign is about reclaiming and offering the idea of success - the true American Dream. We have to acknowledge that most people don’t want a hand out.

They want to build something. They want to be successful. They want to do it themselves. And too often, Democratic messaging sounds like, “Democrats are helping you put food on the table.”

Nobody aspires to just get by. That’s survival, not success. People want something to believe in. They want to win. To thrive.

This is the country that celebrates American exceptionalism and grit. I’m part of the generation that grew up watching MTV Cribs. We had Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous before that. It’s okay to dream!

Couldn’t agree more. What’s the plan? Do Americans want hand outs? No. Do they want high quality government services in exchange for their tax dollars? Absolutely. Do they want living wages from their billionaire employers? Yes. Do they want representatives that work for them and not donors? Yes.

And I still believe you should be able to succeed if you play by the rules, work hard, and build a life you’re proud of—without being a jerk about it, understanding that you were able to succeed because of the foundations of this country and ensuring that foundation continues to exist for everyone.
