Please be careful about how you speak about election results in places you're not from, especially the South. Gerrymandering & other forms of voter suppression continue to play a significant role in outcomes. The people are doing what they can but so are the systems blocking them

If you are planning on voting on November 8th in Florida, which you should, and you’re not registered, then today is the last day to register to vote.

Megan @theestallion created a website that compiles a list of diverse mental health resources and is sending it out to her fans and followers. Real hot girl shit.

If you're a Floridian who's repulsed by @GovRonDeSantis' rotation of political stunts, then do yourself a favor and follow @CharlieCrist, who's running to replace him this November.
Great news for a terrific candidate! I’m very happy to support @MaxwellFrostFL in #FL10 because we need more community organizers like him in Congress. Early voting is open right now through August 21, and election day is August 23.
The fact that 8 months ago there were 0 unionized Starbucks stores & now there are 200 is absolutely insane and a testament to the hard work and class consciousness of Starbucks baristas
Black people live in red states. Brown people live in red states. Queer people live in red states. Writing off the South means writing off some of the most diverse communities & fierce advocates in the nation & leaving those who will be most harmed these policies behind.
Voting is critical but alone it’s not enough. We will need to organize, strike, fill coffers of abortion funds, open our homes to help those seeking safe passage, and more to establish and defend our rights.
People have more power than they realize. It’s time we rediscover it.
We remember the 49 lives senselessly ended six years ago at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, and survivors traumatized by the horrific events of that day. We will never forget and stand with you always.
People who think Emmett Till was ancient history should be reminded that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who falsely accused him is still alive.
It’s not ancient history. It’s not even history. It’s contemporary reality.
May we not just grieve, but give:
May we not just ache, but act;
May our signed right to bear arms
Never blind our sight from shared harm;
May we choose our children over chaos.
May another innocent never be lost.
We have seen in every public health
issue including but not limited to the
HIV epidemic, Covid-19, GUN
VIOLENCE, the response or lack there of is POLITICAL! To be told
otherwise is an insult to our
intelligence. These issues have to be
politicized to make policy.
Politicians insisting you “not politicize” mass shootings enabled by horrifying policies THEY take💰to uphold are really just telling you to accept them.
But it’s not acceptable. And they are the ones politicizing by opposing common sense laws widely agreed upon by the public.
