Every single one of us needs to speak out more.
SIGNAL GATE is a threat!

The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively.

The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, when’s your next town hall? The people you betrayed would like to have a word.

Read this TPM article. It will help you know to make all your "future decisions about the right course of action based on which [is] more likely to slow, impede or defeat what Bollinger rightly calls 'an authoritarian takeover' of the US government."
Drop everything you’re doing and read this piece. It’s that good and that important.

“We’re in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of the US gov’t… [but it’s] not yet an
accomplished fact.”

Everybody — call both your senators! You can leave messages today, and you can call again in the morning. New Yorkers: call both senators — their “no” votes are not guaranteed, and you should not assume.
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Stop Calling Them MAGA. When we do, it strengthens their fracturing coalition. Great argument that does more than repeat what everyone else is saying.

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

🚨 Trump pardons 1,500 insurrectionists and issues an unconstitutional order to end birthright citizenship, but Schumer calls for bipartisanship. What does bipartisanship with MAGA extremism even look like? Tell Schumer it’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/wTM0mBoi

“Prevention is the silver bullet...It’s so much harder to walk somebody back once they have fallen down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and hateful ideologies. It is paramount that we offer knowledge and effective strategies for how to prevent people from being radicalized in the first place.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced significant changes to how the company will moderate its social media content.

The changes could have far-reaching and dire effects for democracy and for people who have historically been targeted by online hate, experts and advocates say. bit.ly/3E7K8sd

So much calling to do! Call your senators--Dems or Repubs--and tell them: vote NO on Pam Bondi for AG. Esp if you thought Merrick Garland wasn't good enough. They care about how many calls they get. Main Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121. Call 2x -- once for each of your senators.
Pam Bondi tried to weasel her way out of admitting that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, during her confirmation hearing for U.S. attorney general Wednesday.
