Keep big oil and gas accountable / FISA vote tonight / Pass common sense gun laws / restore SNAP / Learn deep canvassing / Stop Broadnax's execution! / Attend a CA-22 fundraiser with Dolores Huerta
Also please call Congress at 202-224-3121 to ask your rep and Senators to vote against the provision in the farm bill that gives Monsanto and other corporations immunity against being sued for causing cancer. So proud of my daughter who took her kids to DC today for a rally at the Supreme Court.
DeSantis just released his own redistricting map that could flip 4 seats in Florida.Last go-around with redistricting he strong-armed the spineless legislature into voting for his map.
The legislature convenes tomorrow,April 28.DeSantis is desperate for a job in the 😡 admin as he’s term-limited….and not popular with many Republicans,some who are pushing back against redistricting efforts.
If you’re in Florida,please contact DeSantis and your legislators to say NO to redistricting ! 📲📲💻💻
I'm usually busy running place to place, and preparing to run for school board, and time is always short..but today I simply have to take a moment to thank you from my heart, Jess. You are my guide, and you really give me direction and actions that prevent me from feeling hopeless. We are all just hanging in and on, but the tone and encouragement and shared emotions you gift us everyday is ... the most helpful and uplifting. I'm just deeply grateful to you. Thank you.
I haven't seen them yet, but I understand some newsletters are urging Californians to vote early in the open primary. That is not a good strategy for making sure at least one Democratic candidate for Governor makes it through to the general election. A better plan is to wait to vote until a week to ten days before ballots must be cast, and give your first-choice vote to the candidate then in the lead. Vote for your favorite candidate next if you must, but it is very important to have a Democratic governor over the next two years.
Robert B Hubbell is encouraging people to vote a week ahead of election day in California. This is predicated on the assumption that none of the top three Democrats will step out of the race. He says that he will vote for whoever is leading the democratic ticket no matter who it is. This of course, is in order to avoid having a republican governor.
I have to disagree with no war crimes during the Biden administration. Biden armed, funded, and supported the genocide in Gaza. While war crimes continue to escalate during this administration, I believe there is an obligation to be honest when posting.
Dear Jess! I especially needed your script today. I was able to make my calls because you made it so easy. I’m so grateful for your ability to stay focused through this fire hose of chaos. So glad you had a fun weekend :)
Thank you, Jess! I also want to say how user-friendly the Activate America site is for doing postcarding. There's no minimum number of cards to commit to writing(which my arthritis appreciates), and there are different campaigns to choose from. You use your own postcards. https://www.activateamerica.vote/postcards
I’m so glad you enjoyed your time at the dance concert.
I’m wondering if the school Mj attends is the one in the valley where my high school friend taught at. Great school. I won’t mention the name of the school here.
There were assassination attempts on Joe Biden. Including one person who was killed when trying to be arrested. The attempts just were not as dramatic as the perpetrator did not get close to the president.

Oh wow I did not know about this! I'll look it up! Good for your daughter! It's insane how our government keeps trying to protect that company!
Thank you for this information, Judy. I made the calls.
Thank you! I made the calls, and will again tomorrow.

Oooh that's great thank you!

Oh absolutely. I encourage folks to vote as late as possible.

I signed the petition to save a life. 🤞
Thank you!
A young historian, Kahlil Greene, wrote about blackface on substack last month; check out the article: https://historycanthide.substack.com/p/trump-told-erika-kirk-sue-his-ass. It has a long history of exploitation and reinforcement of power structures in the US.
It plays an absolutely massive role in American history. I had no idea--I think most don't. I think even the author was staggered by what she found.

You know what? You're right. We didn't commit them but we did fund them. I will correct tomorrow. I should have caught that myself.
Thank you, Jess.
Wow, these are tough times. I am trying to find the joy. Once again, thanks for all of the action steps, Jess.
Of course!

Great job, as usual!

Yes I recommend them often!
M’aidez! May Day is going to be pivotal!
Thanks for the rec on Darkology. I had read the review in the NYT and was fascinated; you sealed the deal!
Oh you'll be blown away by it. Let me know your thoughts.
Darkology looks incredible, thanks for the rec!
Please let me know how you like it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed your time at the dance concert.

Not in the valley (;
Okay. I’m just so glad you enjoyed yourselves and that Mj is attending a really cool school!💜
