Got weekend plans? Look up on Aug. 12 for the best meteor shower of the year. 🌠

Weather permitting, you’ll have the best view of the Perseids in the Northern Hemisphere between midnight and dawn, but early Perseids are already being spotted.

Of course they want the freedom to vote. Because #VotingMatters

If it didn't they wouldn't try so hard to make it difficult.

See? #VotingMatters

The way to make sure your voice is heard is to use it. Way to go, Ohio.

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

It looks like Ohio Issue 1 is going to fail in Delaware Co. (northern Columbus burbs), which has voted Republican in every presidential race since 1916 and didn't even vote for Sherrod Brown in 2018.

#VotingMatters which is why we #VoteFromAbroad

[Vote from Abroad @vfaglobal]

Voting gives us a say in how our government is run, helps hold elected officials accountable and protects Americans' rights and interests. As US expats, voting can affect our rights, benefits, and interests as Americans abroad. Go to https://t.co/t2buZCe4Yj today to register!

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

Nearly 60 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, extremist lawmakers are STILL trying to deny minorities the right to vote to keep their grip on power and preserve white supremacy.

We must restore the #VRA. https://t.co/xwY3uvIpNf

#VotingMatters ... Make your voice heard!

Four months after an expulsion vote thrust the pair into the national spotlight, Democratic state Reps. Justin Jones of Nashville and Justin Pearson of Memphis formally won reelection Thursday to their seats in the Tennessee General Assembly.

My eldest daughter is walking to raise money for the Cascade AIDS Project. Any amount helps.

It is divisive to call for peace without working for justice.

It is uncivilized to ask for civility while prospering from and perpetuating systemic violence.

“True peace,” my father said, “is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

[Democrats Abroad @DemsAbroad]

Watch John Kirby at the #WhiteHouse respond to a question about why the Dept of Defense policy on abortion & gender affirming care is so critical to military readiness. His answer is brilliant and is important since 1 in 5 US soldiers are women!

To all the other Congresspeople and Senators: this is an example of how to act when you believe that #VotingMatters

Also, give #RankedChoiceVoting a look so folks of different political stripes have a way to better work together and be represented

[Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan @RepMcClellan]

In a government by, of, and for the people, your vote is your power.

My great-grandfather had to take a literacy test and find 3 white men to vouch for him just to register to vote. My grandfather and father had to pay poll taxes to vote.

Voting rights are personal to me. 🧵

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now. If you want to support the strike, we're asking folks to:
1) Boost our message on social media
2) Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports affected workers https://t.co/HmUJCZaH2r

For more than a decade, I have purchased almost zero stuff from Amazon. I'm sure they don't notice or miss me. Thing is... Even though it's sometimes inconvenient I don't miss them. What if more folk rejected these corporate greedsters and decided to #ShopLocal ?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

"Prime Day" should be a day to boycott Amazon for all their bad behavior. Here are two more reasons why.

[Tristan Averett @EssentialVirago]

@ErinMcMahon1 @RBReich This is my question also. I'm already not watching the streaming services that I subscribe to and not heading to the theater to give studios my cash. Should we be going all in and do organised boycotts/mass unsubscribe campaigns?

[Tristan Averett @EssentialVirago]

Does this mean it is time for me to cancel my subscriptions? Obviously they haven't bothered to notice that I stopped watching during the strike. Maybe they will notice if we all stop giving them any money at all.
