Hi, all, and happy Wednesday! I wanted to give you a short update on where things stand with the budget, and also where we’re at with the TikTok “ban” bill, and why I think it matters. First, the budget (and thanks to the Progressive Caucus Center for their helpful breakdown):
As one of the "us" that joined 100+ indivisbles yeaterday evening for your activism refresher course, I loudly applaud the combo platter of activism avenues and strategic giving guidelines. Thank you, Jess, for your energy and day-by-day diligence.
We got this 💪🏻 Also, your presentation last night was very engaging. I learned a lot, I'm going to see if I can get some friends to attend the next one
Hi Jess. I admit I don't fully understand the TikTok issue but I trust your judgement so I sent a modified/personalized version of your letter. You're usually right about this stuff. Hope it helps.
Nancy Van Camp, wife, just came in and asked when your next "indivisibles" is and I don't know but will watch out or you can email her at nancycampvan@gmail. com. Love, Doc
After reading Kaiser Kuo (via Substack Jay Kuo yesterday, in case you get that -- link below if not -- very thought provoking) about Tik Tok - and your comments today - I agree with you about opposing the legislation the House just passed. And - Biden says he'll sign I guess?
Jessica - I 💯 agree with you on the Tik Tok bill. Now is not the time. We have an election to win and social media is where nuance goes to die so trying to explain to low nformation/high social media consumers that TT’s parent company needs to sell it will never get through. It will just be it’s banned and that is too big of a risk to take with young voters even with all the other problems.
So many zooms so little time! I was on with Hopium tonight and would have loved to be on Blue Tennessee tonight 😢and tomorrow- have Vote riders lined up...but thank you for all the information! I was on a "Run for something" text campaign in MI this afternoon and in the batch we did we had over 167 YES responses to 'have you thought about running for something?" !!!!🎈🎉🎊✨
