Let’s survive this 1000-alarm fire together. Also, not to be morbid, but if you’re going to protest—get a will, health care proxy & power of attorney. If you’re unable to act, you’ll want to appoint someone you trust to act for you. (Free legal advice.)

There is only one exit ramp off this highway to hell, and that’s to vote out every Republican. Every. single. one. OUT. Vote blue with righteous vengeance.

For the folks in the back: CEOS ARE PAID *325* TIMES AS MUCH AS THE TYPICAL WORKER! 📣 It hasn't always been this way. It doesn't have to be this way. When workers had more power, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as their workers. Workers, it's time to take your power back. #FormAUnion #UnionStrong

"Election officials and lawyers noted how surreal it is, even after a decade of Trumpism, to treat the nation’s duly elected president as the primary threat to the freedom and fairness of American elections." Yes. Always keep this front and center.

Public prayer, or posting the 10 Commandments in schools is not intended to promote religious values, but to enhance the authority of some churches and some political views over others. It is about power, not about religion. The Constitution clearly intends there should be freedom from religion.

I'm a centrist Democrat, but you can count on me voting for a progressive if I'm given the choice between a leftie and a fascist. My vote against Trump Republicans is in the bag, because I know there's no moral high ground in withholding my vote if I don't get everything I want.

During slavery, the North had more voters than the South. The South didn't want slaves to vote, but wanted to count them in their population totals towards the number of electors. The Electoral College was their solution. It is past time to get rid of it. One person, one vote.

A three-point race in Wisconsin can be litigated, delayed, “investigated,” and strangled in a certification meeting. An eight-point race cannot. The math of the steal collapses when the margin exceeds the degree of MAGA fuckery.

Cheating operations work on the margins. They flip close races. They exploit recounts, certification fights, faithless officials, and friendly courts. What they cannot do, is steal a landslide. It is imperative that we win with large margins. Midterms are only 115 days away.
