It seems that American oligarch @MikeBloomberg is racking up endorsements by cashing in favors owed by dozens of elected officials who've accepted his financial support over the years. We are calling on those officials to retract their endorsement. THREAD

Two of those Bloomberg endorsements came from @RepGregoryMeeks (NY-05) and @RepBobbyRush (IL-01). No surprise, it's fairly on brand for both of them to cozy up to big💰. That's why we have candidates running against them.

As mayor of New York, Bloomberg vastly expanded the use of "stop and frisk" policing, repeatedly targeting young Black and Latino men for degrading, unconstitutional searches. Many were arrested for petty violations. Countless lives derailed by this explicitly racist policy.
There have been so many stories written about the history making aspects of the 116th Congress & its Members but none about the history being made daily by brilliant, dedicated aides like these two.
I am so blessed to do this Work with my #ATeam including these extraordinary leaders at the DC helm as my Chief of Staff & Legislative Dir., both are women & one is a #WOC #Latina, a rarity on the Hill. #brandnewcongress Immensely grateful for them both!
Before I close this thread, a special shout out to @DGSImagery #mwbe #blackcreativesmatter for her exquisite styling on the occasion of my inaugural DC swearing-in. The slayage was real lol
