John,


I always knew running a campaign that actually challenges Trump’s fascist agenda would make me a target for MAGA.


But lately? My team is being flooded with hateful and even violent comments from MAGA extremists—people calling me “un-American,” “a terrorist,” and even telling me to “go back to my country.”

I’m an American citizen. I was born here. And I love this country enough to fight like hell for it.


But apparently, standing up to Trump’s abuses of power, protecting our community from ICE, and refusing to be a billionaire's puppet makes me some kind of threat. You know what? They’re actually right about that part.


Because our movement is a threat—to Trump’s fascist agenda, to his enablers, and to every politician (Democrat or Republican) who rolls over as this administration tramples over the Constitution.


We’re building a movement that won’t “meet fascism halfway.”


We’re done with performative resistance and empty statements.


We’re done with Democrats who shrink from the moment when history demands they rise.


We’re fighting for real opposition to fascism—for communities living in fear, for immigrants being hunted, and for everyone who’s tired of watching “moderates” roll over while our rights disappear.


So when MAGA trolls flood my mentions, I see proof we’re doing something right.


If you want leaders who don’t flinch in the face of hate — who’ll rise up to meet the threat Trump poses head-on — I need you in this fight with me.


Can I count on you to chip in $25, $10, or whatever you can spare to send this movement to Congress?

Because they can scream “go back” all they want. I’m not going anywhere.
