There’s also this messy situation in Thurmont Maryland with their mayoral race, and a few others as well. 2/2

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state. Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win. No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY! I know everyone is focused on the Nov 4 elections, and rightly so, but, there are elections this week! We haven’t had much luck doing it before this year, but there’s another State House race in Alabama that we could potentially flip. 1/2

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power.
