Just had the most surreal voting experience. Volunteer asked for my name & I said it. She asked me to spell it. We began the rigamarole of me spelling out my “foreign” name. After I spelled out my first name, as I was starting my last name she looked up & said “Wait, the AUTHOR?”
Someone tell the ten year old girl who came to this country from Iran with a “difficult” name & who had to wait years to get the privilege of voting here, that this would one day happen.
Democrats will ensure that you can vote in every election; make your own reproductive choices; earn a living wage; your privacy is protected; your Social Security and Medicare is safe; mass shootings will end; healthcare and Rx drugs are affordable; we address the climate crisis.
They will work to rebalance the court; protect LGBTQ+ Americans from discrimination in schools and workplaces; restore the Voting Rights Act is to end Republicans’ decades long voter suppression campaign; codify Roe and marriage equality; ban assault weapons; end the filibuster.
The biggest difference between the two parties is that Democrats have actual policy proposals (dozens of which have already passed the House since 2019) to address the issues Americans are most concerned about. If you can think of an issue, Democrats have a bill to tackle it.

With almost 400 million users on Twitter it should come as no surprise that it is actually a pretty good measure for understanding societal interactions and implications as a whole.

You can say whatever you want but just like in real life, there are consequences.
If you lie you will be called out on it.
If you are hateful you will be shown the door.
In 2020, the platform decided that you had to be civil in order to provide value to their platform.

They made some difficult choices but realized in order to preserve the platform that was exactly what needed to be done.

#Thread Below is a statement from Sarah Jaynes, a key advisor to the Winning Jobs Narrative project and the Executive Director of the Rural Democracy Initiative: 1/11 #RuralDemocracyInitiative
Voters in small cities and rural communities are working people, through and through. They believe in their communities and in this country, even when the country fails to prioritize them and rural economies struggle. 2/11 #RuralVoters #DemPriorities #WorkingAmerica
Some right wing leaders have tried to exploit the economic anxiety that many rural Americans justifiably feel.But the Biden Administration & current Congressional majority have taken action with the greatest investments in rural America in the last 50 years. 3/11 #DemPriorities
The GOP with a lack of discernible policy,
and its inability to convince Intelligent Americans
transferring all the wealth to the top 1% is a good idea
Fully embraces a strategy of disinformation/intimidation to WIN POWER!

A fundamental precept,
🇺🇸that we hold elections
🇺🇸accept the results
🇺🇸gracefully concede if we lose
Has been a vital piece of our history
The voters speak and the politicians comply, and that’s democracy
Not Republicans though

The full-frontal assault on all three branches of government are downright terrifying
⚠️Trump’s abuse of the executive,
⚠️Hi-jacking of the legislature through voter suppression
⚠️Rigging of the judiciary
It’s a power grab by the 1%

After reading that article in the federalist (fascist), it’s clear to me that America is in a very dire situation. Every election is going to be challenged or worse, ignored. The right wing have no interest in being in a democracy or a republic. Rather they want one party to /1
rule. It really does sound exactly like the Handmaid’s Tale. They know they are the minority and they demand we follow their rules or we get jailed. It’s insane but that’s what the article says. They want to embrace a totalitarian regime. If they get control they will just /2
refuse to relinquish control. Democracy will be dead. How long can we keep this up? The GOP created this monster and now have become it. I’ve no interest in returning to America so I might relinquish my citizenship for another country. It hinges on this election. Everyone /3
A GOP-controlled House will be a clown show on steroids. Democrats pass laws to improve American lives.
Republicans offer no solutions, only anger, shouting & conspiracy theories.

"We’ve been hearing a lot about an upcoming flood of investigations from Republicans should they come back into power in the House. What kind of investigations are we talking about here? Do you think some of these folks will try to impeach Biden right away?"

“[Donald Trump] has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again… You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What’s right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.” Adam Schiff
I tweeted a thread about pregnancy complications going untreated after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. The response shows that this is a powerfully motivating issue for women. One tweet has already been retweeted almost 500 times. Keep spreading the word.
Next, we need to convert outrage into action. Please use your anger as motivation to vote, register new voters, support Democratic candidates, and get out the vote. The solution is keeping the House in Democratic hands & adding at least two more Democrats in the Senate.
The outlook for the Senate is promising. That will allow us to set aside the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade.

Ohio AG Yost (@DaveYostOH) and Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) immediately came out swinging, not only casting doubt on the story--but also aspersions on every media source, every discussion, and every Democrat.

RWNJ media (e.g. Breitbart) still has the Yost story that states his office doesn't have any record or knowledge of such a victim. Despite some couching, this shows how shoddy Ohio's law enforcement is at the highest echelon.

@GavinNewsom:
@NPR is doing its annual reading and tweeting of the #DeclarationOfIndependence. 246 years ago a group of men felt it so important that they risked everything to defy a King & start a path for a democratic republic. Today we’re seeing those values attacked by the stolen #SCOTUS
The #AntiDemocraticParty of the GOP passing laws & ideas to circumnavigate the will of #Americans. On this #IndependenceDay2022, it is time to not celebrate what happened 246 years ago, but to honor it by standing up for our #FellowAmericans ensuring that #Rights and #Freedoms
Are actually for all of us. #Autonomy is a #Right. Not being shot because you look dangerous or are frightened or just went to school #Right. Loving yourself & having your ability to have your own family is a #Right. #Healthcare is a #HumanRight (#AbortionIsHealthcare)
🧵1/ This #IndependenceDay, let’s talk about how to keep our democracy. This is not hyperbolic—right *NOW* the GOP is enacting an *ongoing* coup 50+ years in the making. #53PickUp #VoteBlue
2/ Odds are you don’t have a strong understanding of US civics because our government didn’t *WANT* you to understand it. The GOP’s most reliable voting block are uneducated whites. They want it easier to dupe voters with diversions & propaganda. 🧵:
3/ It’s also easier to fool people into thinking the Democrats are purposely or incompetently messing things up if your audience doesn’t know how civics works. The GOP & enemy countries have massive & effective propaganda networks to turn public opinion.
