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.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Great turnout to canvass in support of Prop 50 today! The response at the doors was very favorable but most people don’t know about it. That’s why contacting voters is so important RIGHT NOW and we need you to join in the fun! #YESON50 💙🇺🇸

I absolutely love these idea of trolling the right by adopting their own symbols as symbols of acceptance and diversity.

Given how pissed off people get about rainbows 🌈 , I wonder how they’d react to this?

YES ON 50! Let's go California!

Ricky Davila @therickydavila.bsky.social · 2d

You can bet your ass I voted YES on California’s PROP 50 because fascist republicans will stop at nothing to cheat/rig elections and destroy democracy and that must be countered every time if we are to have any democratic freedoms left. Vote YES on PROP 50. 💙👊

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

Hey @wnba.com: pay them what you owe them!

We’re proud of our unions’ solidarity with the WNBPA as they fight for their fair share and a strong new contract ✊

The US’s biggest pro women’s sports unions have found strength together

For NWSL and WNBA players’ unions, collective actions have been key to their successes in wholly different sports

I never understand how this narrative that people 'on benefits' have it easy gets so much traction.

It is dispelled easily just by knowing anyone who is actually having to live that way and talking to them.
