Science and logic rock! A tiny blue dot in a red state. Did not uproot myself half way across the planet for this, yet here we are. When things go sideways, I hope we end up in the same camp for emotional support purposes.

Vote blue up and down the ballot at every election from now on because our democracy and (quite literally) our lives depend on it.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social

The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.

XYZ didn’t do it. It’s a fake video. XYZ did it, but it’s out of context/others also did it. Ok, XYZ did it in the context, so what? See the pattern? It’s bad no matter which side does it. We learn and become better people everyday. Taking someone as who can do no wrong is always problematic.

If the past decade has taught us anything, it’s to remember that hard fought progress can be wiped out in a stroke of pen. Vote accordingly at every election.

Kamala Harris@kamalaharris.com

Sixty-one years ago, the Voting Rights Act became the law of the land after generations of Americans refused to accept that the right to vote should depend on who you are.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ~~ Teddy Roosevelt

Intellectual diversity does not mean we have to entertain bad faith arguments. Some things should not have both sides. The Supreme Court should just repost the decision of the U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim, and uphold the birthright citizenship that’s enshrined in the constitution.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

The fact that the assault on birthright citizenship has gotten this far, despite the plain text of the constitution, is astonishing. It also reveals some flawed assumptions about intellectual diversity, which sometimes involves resuscitating a dead and discredited idea b/c powerful people want to.

Important 🧵 Minority party cannot magically fix what the majority party breaks. We have to give the democratic elected officials tools, i.e. obtain majority at midterm, if we want to restore checks and balances, and hopefully get out of the current existential crisis caused by the republicans.

I’m turning this into a consecutive 🧵 to make it easier to show people who are being bamboozled by the current ICE funding being debated: The current funding is a pitiful drop in the $183 mil per month ICE *already* is guaranteed through 2029. Republicans are banking on you not knowing that. 🧵:

I went to my first ICE watch yesterday and was surprised by how kind and community-centered it felt. PIRC (@pirc_oregon) runs free ICE watch training in Portland. Once trained, you’ll get text alerts so you can show up when ICE is sighted. Sometimes just showing up is enough.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
