Making sure that they have the right ID, if they are in a Voter ID state…
Telling them when their elections are….
You aren’t serious about what just happened with the Supreme Court.
If someone is pursing their lips to tell you not to vote, or questioning why to vote for Democrats…
They are a chaos agent. Probably a paid saboteur.
I have voted in every election since I turned 18.
Very few candidates “inspired ” me. But, I wasn’t looking to date them. I was looking for at most, policies to improve my life. At least, folks that would not harm me or people like me. Every inch of progress in this country has come from DEMOCRATS.
PERIODT.
I, like 94% of Black women, did the right thing in 2016.
That I refuse to listen to the screeching of those who DID NOT do the right thing in 2016 should be obvious. 😒😒😒
when the dam is close to bursting, the best thing is to stop it the best way and fast.
Y'all had that chance in 2016.
94% of Black women understood the assignment.
And as one of the 94%, I'm not here for your bullshit.

Protest is just perfomative cosplay bullshyt unless you get out and vote in November 2022.😠😠
Once again, stating the obvious…
DEMOCRACY ITSELF IS ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER👏🏾👏🏾😠😠
This wonderful woman always keeps her eyes on the prize. She is always about the business of what is truly important in November👏🏾👏🏾
Here is the list @TonyMoonbeam and I put together of House Seats that Dems must Keep, Flip and may lose in November.
Some seat still show open since primaries haven’t occurred. I will the list update as nominees are chosen. pic.twitter.com/IZqQoIoZUK

The Supreme Court now largely functions as a mechanism for turning right wing culture war grievances into law, and the reason other constitutional rights are not safe is there will always be a new conservative grudge to be remedied by judicial fiat https://t.co/y3yI4lFeoi pic.twitter.com/W0IIkm8e1x

There is a disinformation campaign ongoing. It is targeted at younger voters, as well as the gullible white misogynists in our midst.
We need to find ways to counter it.
This campaign is taking the GOP action of ending Roe v Wade and trying to make it the fault of Democrats.

But that's the deal. Those w/blue checks started this recently. There are a few things to look for:
1. Discussing codifying abortion.
Look, that sounds nice but we have a SCOTUS that will knock that fucker down in a month. Codifying abortion right now WILL. NOT. WORK.

She is committed to voter suppression
She works harder at that than her actual job
Imagining an ELECTED official telling people elections are 👎
And “ripping” her own party
The only party trying to do something
The only party who gives AF about our rights https://t.co/bNEhgOsjXC

I can't manage to conjure up the level of outrage I'm seeing. This was preventable in the form of voting for @HillaryClinton. Black women are tired of shouting that disaster is coming and wh.ite people simply shrugging their shoulders.

1. Protect your peace Black Fam. Folks, including Black Blue Checks that couldn’t support PBO during 2010/2014 midterms & HRC in 2016, will whine in your ear & cause anxiety. We always do the right thing. Focus on voting in your local elections consistently. Take a vacation day.
— Crystal4Kamala – Fully Vaxxed (@crystal4obama) June 26, 2022
3. Look at elections for Law enforcement, judges, mayor, city council and a big budget one, Board of ED. Counter act the loud minority at that level.
— Crystal4Kamala – Fully Vaxxed (@crystal4obama) June 26, 2022
5. Consider you can pick some races to volunteer your time to text bank, phone bank, register voters to vote, send postcards, or fundraise online. We are not helpless, but we have to be consistent to turn the tide.

Progressive socialist and Republicans celebrated on November 8, 2016 while Hillary Clinton supporters psychologically went depressed because we knew what was coming. That deep pain we felt during that time, they laughed at us. I will never forget nor will I forgive them.

Truth
I've seen this for myself. The cognitive dissonance is so obvious.
And sociologically, I get it. It's hard for humans to say "my parents are not good people." But that doesn't change the truth of what's happening.
— THEE Cheeky Ginger (@dodgybint) June 26, 2022
That is right. At least HALF of all Black Americans live in the South. I refuse to abandon them.
Some are truly Red States. But, a number of them are just VOTER SUPPRESSED STATES.
Black people live in red states. Brown people live in red states. Queer people live in red states. Writing off the South means writing off some of the most diverse communities & fierce advocates in the nation & leaving those who will be most harmed these policies behind.

SCOTUS was a 4-4 tie with one vacancy. Many of us were begging you to do the one thing that would ensure our rights would not be rolled back, but you told us it was blackmail. You told us you just couldn’t vote for that woman because something something e-mails.
— Kevin 🏳️🌈🌋 (@is_that_a_read) June 26, 2022
We CAN fix what the Supreme Court broke: super majorities in the House & Senate. Then we legislate gun reform, voting rights, we codify Roe’s protections & other (soon to be revoked) privacy rights. We should focus on this the way the right focused on revoking women’s rights.

I am the “innocent child” pro-lifers love to slap on posters/use to bolster arguments. My mother gave me up for adoption after being unable to access abortion. She was poor, homeless. There was no parenting help. I received a life of pain+abuse. I would’ve rather been aborted.🧵

She is always on the right side of issues.
I am disgusted by the plans that Republican lawmakers have laid out to impose a federal ban on abortion care and overturn other legal precedents that protect our civil rights. Our lives will change radically, even those of us in states like Illinois. (1/3)

Uh huh
Uh huh
OK forced birthers. There are currently 117,000 children in the foster care system available for adoption(400k total in the system). Start filling out that paperwork. Get those adoptions going! Oh wait, you don't want them but want the number to increase.

You felt entitled to dictate other people's choices
You forced women to endure invasive transvaginal ultrasounds for no reason.
You are forcing girls and women to have relationships with their rapists
You are putting women's lives at risk for fetus fetishism 2/— Portia "You're Mean" McGonagal (@PortiaMcGonagal) June 25, 2022

Thread
Thread. All of you who are comfortable in your solidly blue states have a negative impact on those of us in red and purple states. Know what happens? You and your words get used in very effective ads that undo every inch of progress we make while you remain safe. Stop it. https://t.co/FKAUl6PxJQ

What should be the focus of every Democrat and liberal right now:
Targeting GOP seats at every level for pickup opportunities and making sure Democrats protect the House and expand the Senate.
Instead we get this god-damned idiot with this bullshit: https://t.co/7VQnSis3mC

Holy crap. Texas republicans are considering legislation to allow DAs to prosecute people who help women get abortions in OTHER STATES.

“Dems shouldn’t fundraise off this”
Ok so first y’all said you ain’t gonna vote and now the party can’t fundraise…
Do you know who will vote and fundraise? Republicans.

First of all, Indigenous women do not CURRENTLY have access to abortions on their own tribal land because of the Hyde Amendment. A majority of their healthcare comes through Indian Health Services which is federally funded.2/ pic.twitter.com/6ZqpuKsbY8

I must admit I’m over the Handmaids Tale references. Our ancestors lived in an actual dystopia where the man who enslaved you could rape you impregnate you and sell the child. We already lived it, which is why we are going to fight this tooth & nail. We’re not going backwards.
