@Mad_as_heII@Sbh08Mae Voter suppression has been a tool historically used to deter Black Americans and other minorities from voting. This special police force organized by Santis is designed to intimidate and harass citizens who have the Constitutional right to vote without scare tactics.
I don't care how much they gerrymander and suppress votes and stack election boards, the vast majority of decent people cannot allow this minority cadre of abject ghouls and sociopaths to have this nation. If we do, it will be our failure not their success.
SENATE DEMOCRATS' PLAN. Per sources:
- Schumer will propose the "talking filibuster", senators must stand, speak to block bills.
- THIS--> It would still take 60 votes to force an end to debate.
- But debate eventually would end on its own. And then it would be 51-vote threshold
Everyone stop what you're doing and watch Senator @JeffMerkley explain why the filibuster - in its current form - is destroying the Senate and our democracy.

#VotingRightsForUS
As voters come under coordinated attack from Republican state legislatures and whether we will ever have another free and fair election again is a live question, a decision to do nothing is complicity.
Choose democracy instead — America is worth it. Choose #VotingRightsForUS.

Amy Klobuchar speaking on the Senate Floor for Voting Rights an hour after returning from Ukraine. Don't tell me no Democrats are fighting for our democracy.
Today, we’re changing our endorsement criteria to reflect our commitment to the freedom to vote. Going forward, we won’t endorse any U.S. senator who doesn’t support changing the Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation. Our democracy is on the line. #DeliverForVotingRights
Stephen Colbert - Despite claims, "50 GOP Senators filbustering voting rights represent 41 MILLION fewer Americans than 50 Senators who support it.
Stop acting like filibuster is anything other than 'anti-democratic tool." Which is also pretty good description of Kyrsten Sinema."
