To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.
We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵
Warren wants no sleep til Jan. 3: "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President" https://t.co/rCunJuO1PF
It’s actually the reverse, of course. The only way a convicted criminal, found liable for sexual abuse, who incited an armed insurrection could win again is because millions of Americans live in an information bubble and believe things that are manifestly and demonstrably untrue.
I know Democrats believe the collapse of our society into fascism isn't the problem they were elected to solve but it's the problem we face, and the collapse starts with the massive propaganda apparatus they've built. target it
Yes: economic dissatisfaction ultimately reflects the domination of the information environment by the right wing (and antisocial sentiment more generally), rather than real economic conditions, which are better than most voters have ever lived through.
Nebraska's dueling abortion rights measures are *tied* right now with 64 percent reporting
If they both ultimately pass, per a 1912 state law, the one with the most votes will be adopted

Use this mercilessly
If you know someone at UW-Whitewater, call them NOW and tell them to get in line to vote.
Make sure they bring a photo ID, and proof of residency if they need to register.
If they are in line before 10:30, they will be able to vote.
No, the entire problem is that the laws, AS WRITTEN, have not been applied to men like Trump and Musk, who freely flout basic constitutional and legal requirements and norms that none of us could ever defy.
It’s insane to me that we now live in a world where Democratic polling locations are being targeted with fake bomb threats in order to suppress turnout.
County election offices across Pennsylvania are receiving bomb threats tonight — and it’s forcing officials to take ballots off-site to count. Expect major delays in Election Day results.
Behind it? Russian agents trying to sow chaos in our elections. https://t.co/oIRaFO88WO
The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.
