Candidate for Congress (VA CD-1)
I'm not here to make dollars, I'm here to make change.

If Aftyn loses within single digits, the House will not just flip a few seats in 2026, it’ll be a revolutionary reckoning.

Voters won’t be voting for a return to the status quo, they will want a revolutionary change.

That is what our campaign will fight for.

My name is Salaam. I’m a public interest lawyer running for Congress in VA-1.

Here’s my platform:
- tax billionaires
- health care for all/strong safety net
- campaign finance reform
- ban stock trading for congressmembers
- end the genocide in Gaza

Follow along & join the fight.

Wittman claims to work for regular people in #VA01. NONSENSE. 83% of his campaign funding comes from large donors, while just 2% comes from small, individual donations. He is getting paid to do a job: make your life harder so rich people can be richer. H/T @salaambhattiva.bsky.social for the vid!
Today: Rep. Rob Wittman from Virginia’s 1st Congressional District #reels

Trump is killing alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers while pardoning a convicted former Honduran president who was involved with drug trafficking.

Imagine paying for Netflix every month, and then paying when you watch the movie, and then getting another bill three months later because one of the actors isn’t signed with Netflix so you have to pay him directly.

That’d be STUPID right???

This is a post about health insurance.

Last night, I dreamt I was loudly booing Rob Wittman at an event.

I've never been prouder of my subconscious.
a man in a hat is sitting in a crowd and says boo this man boo !

Hey neighbor me, you may have gotten this email from Rob. I’m surprised he put in an Other option. Let’s get that Medicare for All 💪🏽

I’m proud to be a part of this. We must stand up to Trump. We just must have justice against all the corruption.

Rob Wittman didn't vote to release the Epstein Files until Trump gave him permission.

Rob doesn't care about protecting children.
Rob is just scared of Trump.

Virginia's First District demands a fighter for our children, not a coward.

We need to have a serious conversation about the environmental impact and sustainability of data centers and AI, and that conversation generally is NOT happening. We will pay a high price for our inattention.
Data Centers - the latest invasive species?

If I was in Congress, I’d have voted to release the Epstein files.

My representative won’t vote for it. He’d rather protect pdfiles.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01.
We need corporate money out of politics. It’s disgusting how much control corporations have over policies.

Policies that have direct impact on our lives.

We could have it so much better here.

That’s why my platform for Congress includes campaign finance reform.

During call time, I've spoken with a few people who work in health insurance companies (not executives).

Every one of them is in favor of Medicare for All.

Keep pushing, we have allies everywhere.

Good news: my health insurance costs aren’t going up.

Bad news: it’s cuz I don’t have health insurance.

Better news: I’m running for Congress to fight for health care for all.

I’d like the record to reflect that our campaign has not been endorsed by Tim Kaine.

We may be seeing some masterful chess from Justice Jackson.

While Trump goes out of his way to starve Americans, our campaign for Congress donated $113 each to the Henrico Community Food Bank, Chesterfield County Food Bank, and the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank.

That’s over 1000 meals to help our neighbors.

A federal court had to order the American president to feed the American people.

What did the president do?

He rejected feeding his nation.

The midterms will be revolutionary.

Rob forgot to mention this so I’ll remind him that he voted to cut millions of people from SNAP and push states to either restrict eligibility or pull out of the program entirely.

Hope that helps!

Wittman is in deep trouble and doesn’t seem to have the wherewithal to dig himself out of it by next September, when early voting starts. #FlipVA01

There's not enough characters in this post to name everyone who won in this blue wave. ❤️‍🔥

Congratulations to Virginia, New Jersey, and NYC for showing the nation and the world that this is not Trump's America.

Let's build on this wave for the 2026 midterms.
