A beautiful day for democracy, but the fight is far from over! #DEMANDACTION

We’ve said it before, and saying it again: a clear election takeaway for CT is that racism won’t go away unless we fight it daily.

Including w/policies to support Black & Latinx lives:
-decarceration
-reallocating money from policing
-early voting
-absentee voting for all
-more

"What a sad night for the United States of America to hear their President say that," @jaketapper says on CNN. "To falsely accuse people of trying to steal the election, to try to attack democracy that way with his feast of falsehoods. Lie after lie after lie."

All lives matter to them but not all votes? Interesting.

When Barrett joins the court, five of the nine justices will have been appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote.

The Republican senators who will vote for her represent 15 million fewer Americans than their Democratic colleagues.

How is this representative government?

Defunding the police sounds radical until you realize realize we’ve been defunding education for years.
