I cannot fucking WAIT to see Isaiah Martin in Congress. This is the candidate for TX-18 that the #Texas fascists threw in jail for being Black and telling them the truth about #gerrymandering.
WE have to fight for elections and WE have to show up for candidates like this. WE need to pull up for them as they pull up for us.
Then, and only then, can we have nice things. HE stepped up. WE have to join him. ✊🏼
