Hey folks. I wrote this voting rights piece and I think it turned it out well! Take a look (and maybe give it a share...?) and let me know what you think!
We Threw Away Our Umbrella and Now It’s Fucking Pouring… https://t.co/Ubzkb45Ivv

This race is about whether we tinker with what’s broken or fix it once and for all. A better New York City is possible. It just takes courage.
I’m Maya Wiley, and I’m asking for your vote.
Noisy Creek bought us, promised more resources, but refused an interim agreement to raise unit wages. Now they want to hire a new reporter for more than they pay current staff. If the company can't afford to pay workers a wage we can thrive on, we can't afford new reporters.
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- what font your drafts are in
- if you put – instead of —
- that you signed an email “Best,” instead of “Warmly,”
Martin Sheen concluding 6th & I West Wing event with a sort of Bartlet pastiche of Sorkin speeches—and then he closes the book and *becomes* Jed Bartlet, speaking from the heart. It’s pretty cool.
Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.
@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.
Over the weekend I witnessed the Black Canyon Fire outside of Naches. Crews across WA are digging fire lines, helping communities prepare, and removing fuels that spread the flames. We all owe them a great debt and to honor it all of us must do our part to prevent fires.
Thank you @UrbanistOrg for your vote of support in this race, and for discussing the crucial history of indigenous advocacy that has advanced environmental protections in Washington State. I will never stop working to be worthy of the faith you've put in me!
Progressives, @PatrickDePoe would be WA’s first indigenous statewide elected. He’s a former Makah Tribal Councilmember w deep experience in natural resource management.
We can’t return to a ‘hands off’ approach to forest management —> bigger wildfires +smoke
Vote DePoe 🌲🐟
Now he's gone too far:
“One industry I think that will be gone are these wonderful speechwriters,” he said. I’ve never seen anything like it, and so quickly, a matter of literally minutes, it’s done. It’s a little bit scary.”
