Don’t get complacent. They’re still going to try to cheat. Check your registration. Vote early if at all possible.
CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

Nature is so precious. Innocent wildlife should not suffer due to the lack of empathy & decency of those running this government.
Scott Dworkin@dworkin.bsky.social · 2w ago45 million acres of roadless national forest. Trump wants bulldozers and logging trucks on all of it. Once a road goes in, the wild is gone for good. Tell Congress to stop him: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
Hurting the president’s feelings isn’t a national security threat Thank you for your attention to this matter.
A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.
This is the way. I know it’s a delicate balance between covering legitimate public interest stories and First Amendment concerns, but it’s about time the press showed some balls.
Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself. But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.
Only 49 more days until the November Midterms! Are YOU registered to vote? Do you know where to go to vote?
Workers’ healthcare costs are expected to rise by 8.2% on average next year. That’s the sharpest increase in over 20 years. Meanwhile, Medicare for All is supported by 65% of voters — including 71% of independents and 49% of Republicans. Is it any wonder why?
9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."
Canada has always been such a good friend to America. It’s terrible how this regime is treating our closest ally. Thank you Canadians for always being decent to all. 🤗

$2000 tariff rebate checks + $5000 DOGE checks + $5000 midterm checks = $12,000 that you’ll never see.
I’m so sick of the rich thinking everyone can be bought off. Hoping there are more of us that show up to vote in November than ignorant voters who believe his BS promise. Democracy is priceless and we all need to snub this invisible money.
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · last mo.They really are just openly trying to buy votes now. Trump says every adult American will get a $5,000 “Trump dividend”, but only if Republicans win both the House and Senate in November.
New Gallup polling finds that 71% of Americans approve of labor unions and 56 million Americans would join a union tomrorow if they could. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.
Unions are extremely popular: 56 million workers would join a union if they could

“40,000 🇨🇦 Canadian Soldiers, 153 of whom died, fought with us after 911. They weren’t attacked. WE were attacked, but they sent their troops to go fight with us.” The way the Felon has treated our Canadian friends, we are not worthy of their friendship. His actions are disgusting and disgraceful.
Conservatives on the Supreme Court have been diluting Americans’ votes for decades. Let’s dilute theirs. Expand the court in 2029.
Texas voters, you’re under attack! Spread the word. We all need to help make sure Texans can vote. Spread the word! Make flyers! Graffiti the bathroom stalls! #Pinks
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last mo.🚨 TEXAS: THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE 92 ELECTION DAY POLLING PLACES Tarrant County officials are set to vote TODAY on cutting Election Day voting locations from 316 to 224, nearly 1 in 3 polling places gone. Civil rights groups warn the cuts could disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters
Totally agree- vote as early as possible & encourage registered family + friends to join you
MJ@bstnboy.bsky.social · last mo.Early voting by State. Some States begin early voting in as few as 20 days from now. This year, everyone that can vote early should vote early. Please pass this alongj www.vote.org/early-voting...
I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.
The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
There are powerful forces out there working to divide us. It's our job to make sure they don't win, to make sure that hate doesn't win.

The president has NO authority to make lists of voters & tell the Postal Service who gets a ballot That power belongs to Congress & to the states, which have passed no such law. @campaignlegal.org & @democracydefendersfund.org are in court to put and end to these shenanigans @ms.now👇 -TN
