Writing and Calling Congress is important. When writing, try to add a personal story that relates, like health care issues, child care, safety of our country, etc. keep it civil, even if the senator/rep is, well, a [insert appropriate term here]. When calling keep it simple - one or two things. 🧵👇

I'm adding a list of states with the status of their primaries. Please check that your state allows independents to vote without party affiliation.
Also, one last note: you don't "fix" the party by walking away from it. You lean in harder, and elect better candidates in the primaries.

You know those stories about Senior Citizens being the victims of scams?
We’re watching that scenario being played out in front of us. An old feeble demented President is literally not in charge. He’s being puppeted.

I totally support this. Some will have to work during the blackout, but I hope everybody who can will support it and shop small businesses if needed.
The way get a corporation’s attention is hold them accountable through Collective Action. Retailers make 50% of annual earnings on Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Blackout means no credit card spending Nov 25-Dec 2. Stock up in advance, get cash in advance & use small businesses. Please pass it on.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.
