Chaotic and scary. Sounds right.

When I first heard the impact the SAVE Act could have I thought of one person: my stepmom. A woman with decades of voting under her belt would have her voice swept away. We MUST stop this bill to protect the voices that need to be heard the most. #HandsOffHerVote

Having seen the caliber of leader that Lucy McBath is through our close work, I have no doubt in my mind she will make a fantastic governor!

🚨 Republicans are fast tracking this bill. We’re working every day to stop it. We need safe, accessible elections for all eligible voters - not to block citizens from voting. www.cbsnews.com/news/save-ac...

We haven't forgotten that four years ago Donald Trump led a violent and deadly conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. "Our nation deserves a peaceful transfer of power for every election and nothing less." - @brianlemek.bsky.social #January6th Read more: wedefendthevote.org/hes-not-our-...

Members of Congress and 75m+ Americans opposed him but today Donald Trump's election will be certified. We will never forget the violent and criminal conspiracy that Trump led to overthrow the 2020 results but we must put our democracy first. We deserve a peaceful transfer and accountability.

I can't even think of a more damaging group that's ever been in place to run our government. We the people want a country run with the best interests of everyday people in mind, not billionaires and corporate greed. Sadly, with these picks there is little hope for any other result.

We need reforms that give power to the people. Get big money out of politics. Ironclad ethics laws. Protect the freedom to vote.

The failure to keep our kids safe from gun violence is a failure of democracy. Elected leaders must be accountable to the people, not corporate interests like the gun lobby. Responsible gun owners want to #EndGunViolenceNow, just like everyone else.

This is big news. He campaigned on lowering costs for the American people. Now, not so much.

I've heard a lot of great things about #BlueSky, so I decided to join. I'm the Executive Director of @dtvpac.bsky.social. We're working to protect voting rights and our democracy. Be sure to share this and follow me so we can join forces to defend our rights and freedoms 🗽
