as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

Done. If you call rn as I just did you'll probably also get to leave a voicemail and not even have to talk to nobody 😅
If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.

This is important.

Call volumes are extremely high right now 💪 Lots of reports of phone lines being "unavailable"
IF you get an "unavailable" msg, try staying on the line a little bit longer. You might get sent to the voicemail box after that.
Or try a local office! Those #'s are also available on the apps/site. 👍📞🤓

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

Hi friends! I am hosting a poetry workshop focused on line breaks via ONLY POEMS in TEN DAYS! Check it out! shop.onlypoems.com/products/end...
THE END OF THE LINE ✦ Todd Dillard
In this workshop, we will decouple the idea of a line break from historical influence and intuition, and explore a variety of craft strategies to use when considering how to break a line.
