SWO 332

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

Gerrymandering has been an unconstitutional issue for decades that is not emphasized enough. The ruling of this case could be detrimental. Everyone deserves the right to vote and make their voice heard. This could leave everything up to state lawmakers #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[WHYY News @WHYYNews]

The Supreme Court is about to confront a new elections case that could dramatically alter voting in 2024 and beyond.

The hateful and dangerous rhetoric about LGBTQ+ lives that roams freely in the media is absolutely appalling and risks many lives. The hate crimes and violence towards the community will not lessen if it is seen as acceptable by anyone, especially lawmakers. #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

Colorado Springs was not an isolated incident. The LGBTQ+ community is living in a state of emergency — and it’s time politicians like Herschel Walker and Lauren Boebert stop inciting this violence with dangerous rhetoric.

This way of voting through ranking and possibly multiple rounds is interesting compared to having just one choice as we are used to! What would it be like if more states had this kind of voting system? Could it offer more representation for other parties? #SWO332 #2022SWO332

Confused about how ranked-choice voting works? Here's a handy explainer: https://t.co/15gMfP6HgI

Elected officials need to start protecting everyone; people in school, people in stores, people enjoying a night out, people walking around their neighborhoods, people standing up for what they believe in- instead of protecting rights of military level weapons #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Everytown @Everytown]

Our gun violence crisis is the result of lax gun laws. The result of elected officials not doing enough to keep us safe. The result of an industry so greedy that it makes & markets military-style weapons to civilians that are consistently used to mass murder.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

TW / mass shootings

mass shootings are not prevented with thoughts and prayers. gun laws are pivotal and necessary to reduce the amount of mass shootings in the United States. any gun regulations or strengthening of background checks could help #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Democrats press for assault weapons ban, other gun laws after new mass shootings https://t.co/otADI0JMsS

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

putting such power into so few people who remain in such great power for the remainder of their lives over such crucial issues is becoming irresponsible. expand the court and check on the limitations #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

The Supreme Court has lost trust & credibility.

➖Launch a Senate investigation
➖Abolish the filibuster
➖Expand the Court
➖Enact ethics reform
➖Protect reproductive freedom

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

cw / anti-LGBTQ+ violence , mass shooting , gun violence
an act of anti-LGBTQ+ violence on Transgender Day of Remembrance. stricter gun control, background checks and specific anti-discrimination laws need to be enforced. this is unacceptable #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

At least 5 killed, 18 injured in shooting at LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs, police say https://t.co/mKZHqGgRfg

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

Such a historic election for the LGBTQ+ community! Including first lesbian governor, first black openly LGBTQ+ person in CT, first trans & non-binary people to state legislatures and many more! So important to see strides of pride and representation in office #SWO332 #2022SWO332

the congressional house of representatives is still waiting on 19 uncalled state races! If democrats had control of the house and the senate, the potential for the passage of important life-saving policies across the US would be much more possible! CA + AZ! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

While Democrats have retained control of the Senate, control of the House is still unknown.

At this point, Republicans are still on a path to a slim majority. But votes are still being counted: https://t.co/bh8XM9QnJR

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

TWO DEMOCRATIC SENATORS IN PA AND DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL SENATE!! Hopefully this will help important policies to pass through into law. #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

THE SENATE STAYS 🔵

This couldn’t happen without PA! Grateful for every vote, every donation, every phone call + door knock that got us here. 🥰

Now let’s finish the job by re-electing @ReverendWarnock on Dec. 6 so I can *officially* be your 51st vote 💯

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

if there was a mistake with your mail-in ballot, there is still time to make your vote count and your voice heard! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Bob Casey Jr. @Bob_Casey]

PHILLY, we need your help: If you submitted a mail-in ballot in Philadelphia, please take a minute to make sure your name isn’t on this list. Even one error on your ballot can get the whole thing thrown out — but luckily it’s not too late to fix any mistakes.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

make sure you don't regret election day!! go to the polls tuesday or send in your mail-in ballot!! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

These 48 hours are going to make or break this election.

Keeping texting. Keep knocking. Keep calling.

Because like I said today in Downingtown — it's all on the line right now, and there's no room for regret.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

when I first opened twitter, this is the first notice I saw. I think it is important that the platform is warning us of possible misinformed information that could be circulating in the coming days surrounding the upcoming election instead of encouraging that #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

look into your local politicians to see who's views align with your own! it is important that you vote to elect someone into office who shares your values! folks took their stance on issues important to them this weekend to encourage others to do so as well! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Everytown @Everytown]

This weekend, @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers across the country are getting out the vote for Gun Sense Candidates—because lives are at stake.

if one prefers to go into the workforce without securing a degree they should still be able to make a livable wage. the US standard of living should not be based upon nor limited by whether or not one chooses to pursue further education after high school #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

If your children want to pursue a college degree, they should be able to pursue one — without assuming a lifetime supply of debt.

If they’d prefer to step right into the workforce, they should have the same opportunity to thrive — without being held back by degree requirements.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

More jobs is important! Next step needs to be raising minimum wage to an adequate living rate for EVERYONE nationally so everyone can receive fair pay for the important work they do! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Under President Biden’s leadership, our economy has created 10 million jobs. This is a record for any president at this point in their administration.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

Why isn't more of our money going to supporting other places? We need to recognize our privilege among the world and decide as a country what resources and support we can offer to others, and help as quickly as possible #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Somalia is facing its worst drought in decades.

More than 300,000 people, especially children, are facing starvation and death. Communities urgently need assistance.

gender affirming care should be accessible by every individual without pushback or unnecessary payment requests for life-saving care. supporting gender affirming care impacts so many lives. everyone deserves to lead their life as person they know they are #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

Gender-affirming care is health care. It’s our right to be able to make decisions about our own bodies and futures.

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

Check your voter registration status for the state you live in to verify if everything remains the same! Although, there needs to be a system in place to notify voters of important changes via email or text message! #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[miriam - they/them @superSW0]

This brings to mind the Americans with Disabilities Act. Denying someone life and well-being sustaining medication based on abortion ban. Unrelated to the reason for access? Unacceptable. Why are we continually moving backwards in history? #SWO332 #2022SWO332

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

A 14-year-old girl has rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
She was DENIED medication because it can also be used to treat ectopic pregnancies. This is the confusion abortion bans cause.https://t.co/fuz7YCG7DR
