To those poor people that have had their lives turned upside down and forever changed - I'm so so sorry you had to go through this because national GOP leaders have decided protecting the gun industry's profits is more important than protecting you.

Movements take time. We must be relentless.

It took decades before the NRA succeeded in changing the public understanding of 2A from a group right into an individual right.

“Movements don't start with people who have it all figured out.”

🧢 Jack Ciattarelli stood on stage with Trump and called him “a great leader.” That’s not leadership—it’s blind loyalty to chaos. NJ deserves better than a Trump echo chamber. #VoteNJ

Exactly! You will not find someone more against gerrymandering than I am but we do this anyway because it is our only chance to be able to get rid of gerrymandering at any point going forward

Sounds good to me!
While I'm strongly opposed to gerrymandering on principle the situation we find ourselves in is too dire to give up in the name of "principles". This sounds like a good legal approach to leveling the playing field.

Mikie Sherrill calls it like it is: more deceit from a desperate campaign. While Jack and his MAGA allies push baseless lies, she’s got a real plan to end utility rate hikes and cut costs. Watch the unedited footage yourself: the truth is on her side. #VoteNJ

It is all about trying to keep all of us scared all the time. It is what fascists do. These American fascists are no different.

Those of us with any sort of privilege MUST stand up. We must not turn away from what we witness. We need to document it and share it.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
