Like many of you, I'm headed to Bluesky! Let's connect there: https://t.co/Sd83tIjt7u

[Emmy Bengtson @EmmyA2]

my MIL today introduced me to the term “nauseously optimistic,” and you can use that.

[Bakari Sellers @Bakari_Sellers]

Y’all ain’t gonna stop us with the bullshit. Stay in line. Vote.

[ACLU @ACLU]

If you're in line when polls close, STAY IN LINE. You can vote.

If someone tells you differently, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

@BarackObama We voted early for Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, abortion rights, trans rights, immigrants rights, climate justice, and so much more. 💙

[Bridget Lavender @BriLavender]

This is voter suppression

Seeing young women across the country organizing, volunteering, and voting gives me all the feels.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Wow. Not only is the line at Villanova out the door and stretching around the corner, but it’s majority young women standing in line. There’s something happening on campus & with young women & it’s huge.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

How is it being so normalized that in the final week of the election, they’ve called potentially the first woman president in US history a cunt, a “sleaze bag,” trash, and a prostitute?

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Doctors in Texas are literally BEGGING for the laws to change so women stop dying.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!????

[Rep. Casey Weinstein 🇺🇸 @RepWeinstein]

“Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students voting for the first time this election.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate.

Realize this is coming.

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

🚨 This is not a drill––If you vote in one of these ten states, abortion rights are on your ballot!

NEW YORK *flip your ballot* and vote YES on Prop 1, Equal Protection of Law Amendment.

ARIZONA vote YES on Prop 139, Right to Abortion Initiative.

COLORADO vote YES on Amendment 79, Right to Abortion and Health Insurance Coverage Initiative.

FLORIDA vote YES on Amendment 4, Right to Abortion Initiative.

MISSOURI vote YES on Amendment 3, Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative.

MARYLAND vote YES on Question 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.

MONTANA vote YES on Constitutional Initiative 128, Right to Abortion Initiative.

NEBRASKA vote YES on Nebraska Initiative 439 Right to Abortion Initiative ** and vote NO on 434 (this second anti-abortion measure was drafted specifically to confuse voters!)

NEVADA vote YES on Question 6, Right to Abortion Initiative.

SOUTH DAKOTA vote YES on Constitutional Amendment G, Right to Abortion Initiative.

Much more on the details of each ballot initiative, what the opposition has been like, how the polling looks, and how you can help at the Link in my Bio

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Excuse me gonna go run through a brick wall now

[chriscjackson on Bluesky @ChrisCJackson]

TRUMP: My political opponents should face a firing squad.

HARRIS: Here’s my sixteen-point plan to directly target middle class families and help them succeed.

NEW YORK TIMES: Both candidates trade barbs in the final week of the race.

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

Senior women supporting Harris by a 2-1 margin in Iowa poll is a reminder that it's not just young women who care about abortion.

Over a long life, almost every woman has either experienced a miscarriage or helped a close friend through one. They know how personal this is.
