Don’t you dare say that voting doesn’t matter. In late 2022 in a recount Kris Mayes (who announced indictments of Rudy Giuliani and co today) won her election race for #Arizona atty general by 280 VOTES.

VOTING MATTERS. Everywhere. In every type of election. State. Local. Federal. https://tinyurl.com/3muy3eze

That can not be more incorrect.

The SCOTUS, voter suppression efforts by Republicans in the United States. The 4 years we had with President Biden instead supreme dictator Trump.

Yup. "Committee For Progressive Values," which is urging Florida voters NOT to vote for a Democratic candidate because he's "not progressive enough," is actually a Republican ratf**king operation.

State records show that it's run by Carmela Falcone: https://dos.elections.myflorida.com/committees/ComDetail.asp?account=54825 She's a big Republican donor: https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2014/08/17/gop-donor-reappears-has-help/

Did you miss the deadline to email the San Francisco Elections Commission? You can still ask them to vote to support recommendations for better redistricting in our city!

Just give your public comment during the meeting TONIGHT 12/12 using our tips at https://lwvsf.org/home/f/ask-the-elections-commission-to-vote-for-redistricting-reform!

Last night Ohio became the 7th state to put abortion rights into their constitution. They flipped a permanent bird to republicans and religious extremists.

The battle for body autonomy isn’t over by a long shot, but celebrating the wins is important.

Great news for women, Democrats, and democracy yesterday with overwhelming victories in Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky.

This reinforces that every vote matters.

This also reinforces my belief that polling cannot get an accurate sample anymore due to inability to reach most people.

Therapists of all sorts assume the chronically ill, poor, and disadvantaged need to improve their sense of self worth to improve their condition. Why do very few analysts, policy makers and society in general realize that it is they who need to see the worth of the “unproductive”? We know we’re worthy. We wish others thought so too.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance a reform bill after reports that conservative Justices and Samuel accepted tens of thousands of dollars' worth of gifts and perks from wealthy GOP donors

@GottaLaff I've heard "rumors about rumors" that they may both resign at some point in the near future. And if their lifestyle funding dries up, may that hasten that decision. I haven't the foggiest if there's even an iota of basis for these rumors of rumors, but we should all be aware that the next POTUS may well nominate one or two to SCOTUS.

Get out and vote, people. We will continue to see these small-minded, homophobic decisions unless we clean house. It will take a generation at least. I hope voters have the stamina and patience.

Then people can force cases like these back up where they can be overturned. These yahoos have established there is no such thing as precedent, anyway.

msmp,

@TonyStark just remember, if voting didn’t matter then why are fascists trying so hard to keep everyone but white straight rich Christian guys from voting? Vote like your civil rights depend on it because they do. Vote like the fufutre of the earth depends on it because it does. Vote like your life and the lives of your loved ones depend on it because they do. VOTE.

With the maps reflecting better real population division now, pick a Dem candidate....look where has shifted forecasts....or somone in your state to get behind.

Give whenever you can can....forgo that Starbucks mocha latte and make your own...every $5 helps....we need to take back the HOUSE!!

Also, if possible, volunteer to make calls or help campaigns for Dems in any way you can. Every little bit helps!
