Getting the feeling Trump and the republicans are about to try and flood the zone with a message of unity and peace while casting any opposition as dangerous incitement and violence. Would be an extremely dangerous move but one that would try to whitewash Trump and the fascist party. The ol Sealion

Just won a significant decision in the Twitter arbitrations, with the SDNY confirming that Twitter needs to pay for those arbitrations unless & until individual arbitrators say otherwise. Oh, & also that their arguments for why an arbitrator might/should say otherwise are nonsense. decision's here

Postcards to Voters seems like a great project for people who like getting creative. They have downloadable templates you can play with as well as pre-made cards you can buy on Etsy Might be a fun idea for a party if you invite friends and provide snacks. Maybe plan it for the next debate night!

My goto has always been Postcards to Voters, since they deliberately target small elections with low turnout, they have the highest chances of flipping/retaining seats postcardstovoters.org

When all is said and done, we're going to have raised just about a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS for voting rights together. I know the discourse/news cycle is bleak, but I want to remind you again how much you've helped over the past two weeks.

A few more notes tonight! Out of over 1100 people, we only have 30 left who have not paid! (And some of those we've communicated with & know they will be soon!) Y'all are doing AMAZING! We've also had almost $50,000 in Second Chance money come in, which is absolutely how we broke $1,000,000 💗

Oh, look, the debate had effectively no impact. Which is historically true of debates. Shocker. Interesting study here. They surveyed the same group, pre/post debate. Trump lost more support than Biden (though both were negligible). A whole elite manbaby tantrum over nothing. Truly incredible.

Biden's poor debate performance had almost no impact on voter preference, new report saysnews.northeastern.edu A new report shows that despite Biden’s debate performance – poor as it may have been – voter preferences haven't been impacted.

Also worth noting: Trump's Project 2025 wants to set lifetime caps on Medicaid. Meaning if you're poor and sick, once you pass a certain level of coverage, Trump would leave you to die. www.americanprogress.org/article/proj...

Project 2025 Medicaid Lifetime Cap Proposal Threatens Health Care Coverage for up to 18.5 Million Americanswww.americanprogress.org If enacted, lifetime Medicaid caps would strip benefits from low-income populations, particularly in states that have not expanded Medicaid.

This is what Trump tried to do to us last time 'round. Don't see any reason why he wouldn't try again.

If pre-existing conditions come back, the health insurance that saved my niece’s life when she got leukemia at age 2 is the last insurance she’d ever be able to get.

Something that's clear and very helpful to keep in mind is that I have ZERO influence over what will happen re: who the Democratic nominee will be at the August convention. So I'm going to keep it moving and focus on what I can influence.

Called my US rep, too. Feel free to call yours! Most of them have done nothing substantive to curb the corruption in this court. The least they can do is publicly endorse Whitehouse and Wyden's call for a special counsel to investigate Thomas. www.house.gov/representati...

Very funny that the Times was so certain about the panic they were causing that they set up a little live update election-season scoreboard for it

Stop doomscrolling. Get offline. Meet with people in real life figure out networks and groups you can work with or build. Start educating those around you as best you can. Tell them what the republicans are planning and how it will negatively affect them. Start the hard work of rebuilding democracy.
