One of the primary ways that false election rumors take shape is through misinterpretations and/or mischaracterizations of “real” evidence. A recent tweet thread about anomalies in Washington state voter registration demonstrates two dimensions of those misinterpretations.
Republicans hate Girls and Women - they have already bent the laws to be able to murder us and disappear us. They are now making it legal to humiliate and torture us. There is no love - and there is nothing redeemable - in a man who would be ok with this assault, subjugation, and physical abuse of Girls and Women. Girls and Women aren't vessels to club and claim caveman style. We aren't vessels to impregnate and imprison. We are autonomous beings with fundamental human rights to self determine. And: whether raped or not--> Abortion is healthcare! Ps.Men speak up for us.

If you're going to report on people basing their presidential #2024Elections vote on #IsraelGazaWar policy, you really need to detail what each candidate is saying and doing. #journalism J-101
LMAO what fucking enrages me about grifters like Cheetolini is that they really think we're stupid.
this fascistfuck really thinks that by saying "i would never ever sign a federal abortion ban, for reals!, cross my heart and hope to die" that we really do not wish the "hope to die" part ALSO.
fuck this dude and fuck every gringo de mierda who think they're better than us.
You really can't parody the #NewYorkTimes' framing of every national issue through its horse-race lens and obsession with handicapping the 2024 presidential election. This myopia distorts coverage (presidents don't control inflation) and misses the chance at broader, more accurate and more contextual coverage on all kinds of issues. #journalism#2024Elections#USPol
«The ERA (S.108-A Kreuger/A.1283 Seawright) would prohibit discrimination by the government based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex — including their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. .... – an essential clarification given the national trend of criminalizing people for various pregnancy outcomes, as well as the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.» https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/equal-rights-amendment-advances-new-york-voters-november-2024
NO.
now is NOT the time to tell people not to criticize Biden. look at what he is doing for #Gaza after almost half a million #Uncommitted votes during these #primaries.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH DEMOCRATS, TO THE LEFT AS HARD AS WE CAN.
Protests work.
Democrats need to be the #antifascist party, not the party of meeting the fascists in the middle.
now is the time for all democrats to act like members of an antifascist party and not as just the opposition.
We don't need 15 reporters (more?) per outlet doing sideline commentary on #SOTU2024. We need more journalists reporting independently on the realities of the issues that get aired in a speech like this, and explaining policy and governing in everyday terms (and on social platforms, broadcast and accessible summaries) so that when elections come around, people understand the stakes and choices. #USPol#journalism#2024Elections
USA should have only one full week of federal elections #primaries and dassit. this extended foolishness made sense in the era without phones, tv and internet.
you wanna get money out of politics? kill the primary money juggernaut by having all primaries on the same week (and i would even go as far as making it only one day, but am being generous with the one week schedule).
today's #SCOTUS decision is dictatorship-by-law but without republicans’ dream unitary executive. all they need is a secessionist, neoconfederate POTUS and the coup is complete.
so, no: voting against Trump in november isn't all there is to it. the popular vote doesn’t elect a POTUS.
strategic votes in the right ELECTORAL COLLEGE PRECINTS get a president elected.
it's how republicans, who have controlled the Supreme Court since Reagan, have used SCOTUS & the EC to steal elections.
VOTER SUPPRESSION
of Black & PoC isn't the only #2024Elections issue
VOTER SUPPRESSION OF YOUNG VOTERS
is the biggest issue come November
#Zillennials, young Millennials and all of GenZ are browner and blacker and more radicalised against USA’s cryptofascist mainstream politics than all previous generations.
Pew even found white christofascist Gen Zers will vote against Trump and Republicans on issues like climate change.
#GenZ VOTER SUPPRESSION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTORAL ISSUE OF 2024
if you're gonna vote in the #California Democratic Party #primary, pick Katie Porter for US Senate.
she'll be Robin to her actual law school professor, Elizabeth Warren and they both will go cape crusading against the Wall Street mafia, first and foremost, kicking the entrenched kleptocracy at the SEC.
and yes, this is the very rare heart-felt endorsement of a Democratic Party candidate.
