Pay your interns; you never know, they may run for President someday.
Did you know Vice President
@KamalaHarris
began her career as an intern? Like many in our government, VP Harris relied on her internship to kickstart her career. Her journey and dedication have been nothing
@RNCResearch
God forbid she give detailed identification to a room that included disabled activists, some of whom are blind.
You guys are truly God loving people aren’t you?
I just had the opportunity to meet
@POTUS
and thank him for his work. Proudly shared with him that I’m running for Mayor of Worcester on a proud progressive agenda.
Thank you to the White House for today’s invitation.

The damage was done. You fueled this misinformation campaign.
She is from an anti-LGBTQ country and this type of shit can get someone killed.
This was PRINT, not a digital headline. You all should be utterly ashamed and someone should be fired.
Reminder: if someone continues to wear a mask after these mandates have been lifted, that is their *choice* so please keep your comments to yourself.
We are entering the era of choice. Respect that. 😷

During my interaction with
@POTUS
, I thanked him for the funds benefitting our community with the American Rescue Plan.
When I told him I was running he said “Thank you for stepping up. We need young people to run.”
Our city is ready for new leadership.
Had the opportunity to thank Speaker Pelosi for her commitment to our country. Watching the mess that is the GOP right now one thing is clear, Speaker Pelosi always had the votes.
@CoriBush
I remember when I landed my first internship on the Hill I went to a couple thrift stores to find a suit. As an unpaid intern who was a live-in nanny to offset rent thrifting was the only way to go.
Who would’ve known that would all lead to
@payourinterns
A reminder that interns are the future.
11 years ago Michelle Wu
@wutrain
was a Boston Summer Intern. Tomorrow she will be Mayor.
Paying interns isn’t just about cutting young people a check. It’s about developing an equitable workforce/leadership pipeline.

did to help make this possible 🥹
BIG NEWS: We just released the FIRST report ever on the diversity of House interns. Our findings show internships remain racially segregated and the racial identity of a member impacts who they hire.

You know what $600 doesn’t equal?
Rent.
Loss job wages.
Groceries for a couple months.
Republicans don’t care about us and it’s showing bright as day.
@CoriBush
This is a fact.
Phone Bill: Set up auto pay save $$
Car loans: Bad credit = high interest rates or subprime loans
Renting: bad credit? First, last, security and maybe a co-signer.
Poverty is expensive. The credit system is a scam. These are SYSTEMIC BARRIERS.
Kudos to the
@PeteButtigieg
campaign for getting citizens active. When you reply CALL the text then prompts a phone call with a message from the Mayor telling you that you’ll be connected with your Senator’s office. This is important! There was no donation ask.

@BostonGlobe
Your headline is DANGEROUS. She is from an Anti-LGBTQ country. This shit isn’t funny and an apology is the least you all could do at this point.
Do better.
@MeghanMcCain
??? Not really, this man doesn’t have the temperament to be President. Do you hear him?? Kamala Harris is the ONLY choice here.
Very Presidential.
Speechless.
I have never once agreed with Donald Trump Jr., but during that dark moment on Jan. 6th, even he knew.
Donald Trump allowed the insurrection to go on longer than it needed to. He must be held accountable.
¡Hola! Happy to announce that I just joined
@SenatorBigBird
on the campaign trail!
As the Policy Director, I plan to uplift the needs of advocates fighting to make Texas a better state for everyone, regardless of immigration status, gender, or fur color.
¡Síganme!

Meanwhile I’m grateful to now know the difference between IUI and IVF. I’m so glad I support a party that will never take away either option for families.
A reminder that there are 34 Senate seats up in 2022. They all have a viable democratic candidate that would vote *Yes* on

Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈

is a time to celebrate and reflect.
I’m proud to be an openly gay man running for Mayor of Worcester, MA.
The second largest city in New England is full of residents committed to diversity and equity. Help us make history!

@CNN
for your next youth orientated town hall let’s mix it up a bit. Here’s a list of requests:
• Diverse moderators
• Students of Color
• Young Adults who attend community college
• Young Adults who never went to college
@TheWayWithAnoa
anything I’m missing here?
I’m running for Mayor!
Worcester deserves a choice. I’m committed to centering the conversation around community, equity, and opportunity.
Together we will pave the path for a future that is led by lived experiences.
Proud of my friend
@davidhogg111
on the launch of
@Leaderswedeserv
. I’m excited to see the next generation of leaders take their rightful spots in our state and federal delegations.
Young people are ready to lead.
The far-right is threatening everything we care about, & young people are leading the fight back.
But far too often, the path to public office is closed to young leaders.
That’s why we’re launching Leaders We Deserve – to elect young, fearless progressives across the country.
I couldn’t afford to finish college.
So instead I helped kickstart the paid internship movement to ensure that thousands of young Americans across the country can take on opportunities and not let their financial situation dictate their futures.
I’m a proud, openly gay alumnus of the Nativity School of Worcester.
I am proud of the leadership the school has taken to promote inclusivity.
The Bishop's outdated rhetoric has no place in Worcester. It’s time to continue promoting inclusion and acceptance in the church.
This is the first time I’ve been genuinely moved by the use of AI in advocacy.
This is a powerful tool that should be a sobering reminder that this issue has taken away countless young people from us far too soon.
Go to to call your representative using a voice of a victim of gun violence to demand action on gun violence. All you need to do is put in your zip code and hit call. Already today over 5,000 calls have been made.
@CoriBush
Couldn’t agree more. Thrifting was the only way I could afford the professional attire required for my unpaid internship on the Hill. Let’s make sure we pay our interns to ensure equitable access.
Let’s talk about the recent incident that took place on
@Chasten
’s Instagram page, where an individual decided to publicly spread hate.
1. Instagram is a *public* platform. Your hateful comments are now there for all to see.
2. When you are called out, that’s on you.
@MeghanMcCain
Being annoying and not actually analytical isn’t the “vibe” either, Meghan. Your party has long left your dad’s leadership.
Do the moral thing and help shape the election instead of helping Donald win.
When your company decides to take quick, decisive action after completing a review, you aren’t canceled. You’re reaping what you sowed.
@Chasten
utilized his platform to remind bigots that hate, especially public hate, has no place in 2022 🏳️🌈
I’m Running.
I’m thrilled to share with you all my candidacy for Worcester City Councilor At-Large.
Let’s make history, together.

I am so proud of the campaign we ran. This is only the beginning for me. I am so incredibly grateful to every single individual that volunteered, donated, and, most importantly, voted.
We came up short, but we’ll be back.
Thank You, Worcester.
Happy Monday! Today’s a great day to remind folks that
@Vote16USA
is necessary. 16 and 17 year olds contribute to our society and economy. They pay taxes and states should be proud of their civic education system and feel confident they’re ready to vote! 🗳️
Mask 101. Do NOT take down your mask during the following:
- Speaking
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Yawning
It’s like some of y’all don’t understand the purpose of wearing a mask!
@mawilner
This doesn’t surprise me. On my last Air France flight, they only allowed surgical masks and suggested all passengers refresh their masks with a new one after 4 hours of usage.
@DonaldJTrumpJr
I know this might be hard for you to believe, but this is what it looks like when a supportive spouse is there for their partner.
There was no need for them to negotiate the terms of this interaction.
‘Only in America do we consider arming teachers while failing to pay them a livable wage’ — Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) emphasizes how investing in police presence rather than gun reform and mental health care has negatively impacted schools
@CoriBush
Americans don’t want a handout. They want to know their government stands by them during this critical time.
These aren’t stimulus checks they’re survival checks for some.
@AOC
Making ppl feel uncomfortable is the only way we’ll succeed. When I introduce myself in the space I work at I claim what makes me different. It’s what I’ve learned from

If there isn’t a seat at the table bring a lawn chair.

What a horror to hear a former city councilor/Mayor take aims at councilors and those of us running whom she believes use “identity politics” to get elected
Let me make this clear, I’m running for Mayor to bring bold ideas to the forefront of our city govt we need a strong voice
3. This isn’t “cancel” culture. It’s setting the record straight. You, as an employee are accountable to your company’s policies and values. Your words on a public platform are for all to see.
4. Companies like Skyline Properties WA in this case, expect you to show those values

Nothing says “Democracy” like a billionaire buying a media platform only to promote his candidate and spam everyone with right wing content.
I just received a call from my Congressman
@McGovernMA
, who expressed his sincere appreciation for the campaign we ran. To know that my Rep. was proud of this campaign is something special. I look forward to his continued leadership in Worcester.
Sad that it's almost 2022, and people will still choose hate. To the family that verbally made it known that they were uncomfortable because my boyfriend and I held hands and showed affection, I have something to say: Love Wins 🏳️🌈
@CoriBush
White Supremacist sympathizers currently roam the halls of Congress and I’m not talking about cops or constituents.
It’s time to expel and remove.
Over the coming hours and days, we’ll learn more about the devastation that has occurred in Puerto Rico.
But let this be clear, the entire island lost power. Imagine an entire state losing power and what the response would look like.
We need to stop treating PR as second-rate
It’s hard to normalize my bf and me spending the holidays with my parents when just 5 years ago I didn’t think this was possible.
I’m genuinely amazed by how much my parents have grown and the unconditional love they offer.
It’s the Holidays feels for me 🌲🏳️🌈
