@shawnforcongress.bsky.social I made this for you last time & posted it on Meta platforms (I adjusted the dates for this election). Feel free to use it. I used Google Translate to write it in Spanish for you. It says "Today is the day to register to vote" & a few points on why to do so.

I watched Jensen Huang on #MorningJoe yesterday. I hope people choose to watch that interview. I found it insightful.
I used #PerplexityAI to help me summarize what ICE agents should know about the "just following orders" defense. What do you think about its summary & talking points?
