@ProjectLincoln filed an amicus last night opposing their attempts at #VoterSuppression

2/ The #HarrisCountyTX Clerk added drive-thru polling places in June to provide safe, efficient voting options for voters in Houston.
After more than 127,000 Texans took advantage of that option, the plaintiffs want the practice declared illegal and the ballots thrown out.

3/ The @ProjectLincoln could not stand by and watch #VoterSuppression in #HarrisCountyTX without speaking up.
I spent much of my time in Republican politics in the closet.
In 2010, on a high-profile Senate race, I received an anonymous email threatening to out me.
It was designed to terrify. And it was one of the most physical experiences of fear I've had.

When the terror subsided, I resolved never to allow my own fear to become a weapon in someone else's hands.
I came out several weeks later, on Thanksgiving, and I now look back at that moment with profound gratitude for the way it changed my life.

Tragically, many LGBTQ+ people still live in fear—of far worse things than emails.
And for some, the decision to come out can still have devastating, even deadly, consequences.
Despite our progress, we still have much work to do.

Trump traveled to Wilmington, NC today to commemorate the end of World War II in the Pacific, here are a few facts to remind him of what #TrumpsAmerica looks like:
.@realdonaldtrump, 1,732 Americans died in the naval battles off #Guadalcanal. #Covid19 kills as many Americans every two days. #TrumpsAmerica
.@realdonaldtrump, 1,759 Americans were killed at #Tarawa. Every two days, #Covid19 kills as many Americans. #TrumpsAmerica

.@realdonaldtrump, 2,403 Americans died at Pearl Harbor. #Covid19 takes that many American lives every three days. #TrumpsAmerica
.@realdonaldtrump, 2,500 Americans died on #DDay. #Covid19 kills that many Americans every three days. #TrumpsAmerica

Yesterday as @realDonaldTrump dismissed the #COVID19 pandemic from the White House lawn, I made funeral arrangements for my wife's only brother.
He spent nearly a month on a ventilator which caused the underlying condition that led to his death.
#WeWillVote in honor of him.

2/ While my brother-in-law will not be counted among those who died from #COVID19, it certainly killed him.
He wouldn't have spent nearly two months in an ICU, dropped from 277 lbs entering the hospital to 155 lbs exiting, or required extensive rehabilitation.

3/ And he wouldn't have needed to relearn to swallow - a common challenge for anyone spending significant time on a ventilator - or aspirated Wednesday night, which blocked his airway and eventually killed him.
We are the Lincoln Women. We are your daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, neighbors, doctors, and teachers. And as current and former Republicans, we are proud to be casting our vote for @JoeBiden this November.

"We know that women will play a critical role in defeating Donald Trump in this election," said @NHJennifer cofounder of The Lincoln Project and former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party. #LincolnWomen
We’re more than “suburban housewives”, we are doctors, businesswomen, teachers, researchers, and public servants. By casting a vote for @Joe Biden, we are rejecting the sexism, misogyny, and bigotry that is dividing our country. #LincolnWomen
1/ @ProjectLincoln don't miss this terrific deep dive by the @washingtonpost in the #KanyeConJob

"But in at least five states, Republican activists and operatives — including some who have publicly supported Trump and a lawyer who has worked for his 2020 campaign — have been involved with efforts to try to get rapper on the November ballot ..."

I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time.
But hope doesn’t elect people- voting does so let’s make sure that #WeWillVote
I feel hopeful not because of the current people in power— but because of all the conversations I’ve had with young people in March For Our Lives that one day will be.
John Lewis left us with a word. And oh, what a word it is. Please take a few minutes to read this, take it in, and prepare to follow his instructions. 
John Lewis was the original Black Lives Matter activist. He was a teenager when he heard the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. on the radio, and took up the Cause that saved us.
"The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society," Lewis wrote. "You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it." Yes sir, Congressman Lewis. #WeWillVote We will.
Holy crap, you guys.
