Yes, our democracy IS under attack, but TODAY proves that it is still very much alive & kicking. From Booker, to the BIPARTISAN House vote, to the massive turn out & shift in Florida. The will of the people is strong. We are resilient & we are relentless & we full-on refuse to roll the fuck over.

Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels. Now, Gmail for “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Might as well shout it from the rooftops. The carelessness is staggering – and makes all of us less safe.

📌If we lose this Supreme Court election in Wisconsin today, we default to an 1849 law that criminalizes abortion, and the fair maps we FINALLY have up here will be gerrymandered into complete hell. Please VOTE. REMINDER: We HAVE same-day registration, which is also on the line if Crawford loses.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.
