🧵 [1/4] #NoKings #Vote
Alright. A lot of people are looking at this news story & starting despair-talk. I'm asking you as kindly as I can: Don't do this. Stay informed but don't despair.

This is a "What You Can Do" thread. Please feel free to share it widely, and tell me what you're fighting for.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

One state where new mid-decade redistricting maps were considered all-but-guaranteed was in Florida.

But, the Florida State Senate is sounding a bit hesitant at the moment.

I'm sure the caving will commence eventually, but until then Florida voters should keep calling their State Reps.

I will be taking a detox period for a while, and will be back in a while. I may pop in time to time, but largely focusing on doing some nerd shit.

Please check your voter registration status, check if you have local elections upcoming and most importantly, find the things in life you CAN control.

It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote. Requiring proof of citizenship creates barriers for eligible voters. Tell the Election Assistance Commission you oppose requiring citizens to submit passport, birth certificate, or other citizenship documents to register to vote! Do it here: bit.ly/42EZzkR NOW!

Nothing can be certain with this group of people. I've been listening to people say certain things will definitely happen since he was sworn in and a lot of them haven't. It's worth trying until the last breath.

The way I see it, steady, persistant pressure will break a person. They aren't superhuman, and most of them are cowards. Eventually, wanting the stress to go away may win. There's tens of millions of us.

Thank you. I figure it's the least we can do. I just refuse to let these bastards win this the easy way. Too stubborn. Please take care of yourself as best you can. I hope your friends and relatives snap out of it.

Follow @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social for the signature-gathering efforts in Missouri.

They are spearheading the effort in that state.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 1d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

A damning and revealing statistic.

And another reason to saturate the discourse with demands for impeachment. Make this something reps cannot ignore.

Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social · 2d

There are a lot of representatives talking about how bad and illegal the Trump administration actions are. @repcohen.bsky.social is the only one to use the word impeachment in the last two weeks.

I keep saying if we talk about impeachment constantly, call them every single week about it and email them, talk about it at protests and put it on signs, we can build a several million member strong impeachment movement.

Some think that means not doing other things too. NOPE!
Pick 2-3 things.

Push for impeachment under treason anyways. It includes taking bribes. He's been taking gifts left and right for allies. If successful, it means we can push for treason of individual cabinet members as well.

Impeachment has become a wildly popular stance in the USA.

@citizensimpeachment.com is on it: citizensimpeachment.com/article-of-i...

We're reading it as *any* of those folks can be impeached for treason or bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors rather than *all* of those folks will be impeached.

It's not automatic, Congress will have to take action.

Hey @senategabe.bsky.social, is this by chance the reason why we should be pushing impeachment for treason?

Because a lot of people are apparently worried we'll get left with JD Vance and the rest of the cabinet, but this pretty clearly outlines if Trump is impeached for treason, they ALL go.

Article II Executive Branch

Section 4 Impeachment

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

This is how you get glowing profiles of how much Mamdani loves the police and praises his ability to keep the people subject to police violence silent.

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Don't forget to spend your FSA money. Lots of things that you can purchase using those funds will be of great use and interest to places like homeless shelters, domestic violence organizations, mutual aid groups & more.

Consider buying menstrual products for one thing.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Because TikTok is an incredible place, every time we open the app now, we are shown that fake video of a reporter being arrested. Simultaneously, a bunch of commenters are convinced our video of state troopers in Broadview from yesterday evening is AI. Perfect, no notes

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.
