The tension of "it's important to help state Democratic parties fundraise for the final stretch but also the president repeatedly urged cops to assassinate suspected criminals yesterday" is wearying and confusing.

Which is to say, I guess, that yesterday afternoon I thought that livetweeting a rewatch of The Princess Bride with my kids would be a fun, easy way to get more people to find out about, and contribute to, the #PrincessBrideReunion tonight, but I'm not finding that switch today.

My house will absolutely be at the reunion tonight, though, and livetweeting the hell out of it, and if that's your thing you should do it too. secure.actblue.com/donate/princes…

The Wisconsin GOP have been at the forefront of attempts to dismantle democracy in the US since well before Trump. There's a huge amount of essential work to do in that state, and @WisDems is in the fight in a big way.

All right. I just did some super normie fundraising tweeting for Steve Bullock, and drank a Black Russian, and whaddya know, it flipped the switch. So my house is gonna rewatch Princess Bride at the top of the hour, and figure out how to use that to throw more money at @WisDems.
