Your vote is precious. It’s how you stand against cruelty. It’s how you preserve democracy.

Marginalized people are fighting GOP voter suppression nation wide. Students in black colleges. Native Americans in ND.

Don’t take the awesome power of your vote for granted. #BeAVoter
I just printed up my sample ballot, and set text reminders for myself. I’m prepared, and I can’t wait to #BeAVoter on Tues.

How about you?

The Trump admin cut the advertising budget for the ACA by 90%.

FOIA obtained emails show this was knowingly designed to harm enrollment, and they repeatedly lied about that fact.

Dem House oversight puts an end to the sabotage. Remember what they did when they had the power.
On a call w/ reporters, in response to whether HHS had studied the efficacy of advertising, an official said, “We haven’t done a specific study related to the public awareness of the program.”

It was a lie. They had, & knew it would harm enrollment.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-ve…
The day open enrollment began, the Trump administrator of ACA benefits wrote a tweet designed to scare Americans away from enrolling.

Now that Dems have won House oversight, she’s promoting enrollment. Oversight stops the sabotage.

Marathon Petroleum, largest US oil refiner, is running a secret campaign to push the Trump’s proposal to lower vehicle emissions standards.

We have so much oil, you see, we don’t need to conserve!

Climate scientists give us 10 years to cut carbon or suffer untold misery. 🤷‍♂️
Man made climate change is warming the arctic at a pace that is “unlike any other period on record.” It’s warming TWICE AS FAST the rest of the planet’s average temp, according to NOAA.

The hour is very late.
Our doom approaches,
and we’re regressing.

cnn.com/2018/12/11/wor…
A doomsday cult alliance of the Koch Bros and the oil industry worked behind the scenes to increase their wealth at the cost of the next generation’s lives.

They know climate change is real, they just won’t survive to suffer it’s greatest misery.

People are talking about voter suppression and rightfully so.

Just please don't let that prevent you from voting.

They way to overcome voter suppression is to actually vote.
Saying I'm not going to vote because of an obstacle is exactly what they want.

Even worse is persuading others to not to vote because of an obstacle.

Encourage people to vote and talk about solutions.
Afraid that you may need to fill out a provisional ballot? Allot more to vote and bring an ID.

Polling stations closed or now to far? Find a ride program.

Less hours at a polling station? Absentee ballots.

Don't let them win by discouraging you.

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter
nyti.ms/2CvoRaT
2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

By Ron Rosenbaum @RonRosenbaum1

1/
THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

Dear White America, you played yourself. #MakeAmericaBrokeAgain
Go ahead and mark Wednesday, December 20, 2017 as the day that the myth of “economic anxiety” as justification for White working class people voting Trump/the @GOP was officially debunked as blatant BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA. ✅
I wonder if they’re economically anxious this morning, or if they’re still deluding themselves that the @GOP gives a flying fuck about them or their empty wallets...

Short thread on importance of even the smallest elections:
BEGIN
1) My small coastal town has 3 seats up for city council next month. #vote
2) Of those running for city council, 5 believe in climate change, 4 don't. All but 2 candidates GOP. 3/5 climate believers here GOP. #vote
3) Last city council election, only 20% registered Dems voted, because they saw majority of candidates were GOP and they dismissed them.
