The Florida legislature has given redistricting powers over to Gov. DeSantis. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…

RepresentUs CEO @joshuaglynn: “Once again, the governor is intervening in the redistricting process in an unprecedented way to secure the most extreme gerrymander possible... 🧵
It’s rare to see a governor veto maps passed by their own party, but this is the first time we've seen it happen because the maps weren't gerrymandered enough.
The map that he vetoed, drawn by the Republican-controlled legislature, already flunked the fairness test because it gives Republicans an unfair advantage. This is the inevitable result of having politicians of either party in complete control of the process.

At least 389 bills were killed by the Senate filibuster between 2000 and 2020. Here’s just some of the notable legislation that never had a shot against the filibuster (Thread 1/8)
The Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012, which included the Buffet Rule, would have created a 30% minimum income tax for people who make more than $2 million per year. 72% of Americans supported the Buffet Rule. politico.com/story/2012/04/… (2/8)
The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 would have created a cap and trade system to reduce greenhouse emissions. 75% of Americans supported federal action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 52% supported a cap and trade system. washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content… (3/8)

No, dead people don’t vote. Our election officials are there to ensure that. “Ballots of voters who have died are rejected in Michigan, even if the voter cast an absentee ballot and then died before Election Day” - MI SoS bit.ly/36qDqsP
No, Biden didn’t magically get 130k MI votes. ElectionDeskHQ had a data uploading error which has since been corrected, and the original poster of the viral tweet deleted it. bit.ly/3n0Azxb
No, 300k mail-in ballots have not gone missing. USPS workers are expediting delivery, and some data systems aren’t up to date. bit.ly/3p5ExXi

The 7 Deadly Sins of American Democracy 👇

1⃣ Voter Suppression - Broad attempts to systematically discourage or restrict access to registration and voting.
2⃣ Voter Erasure/Purging - A flawed process of cleaning up voter rolls by deleting names from registration lists.

While updating registration lists as voters die, move, or otherwise become ineligible is necessary & important, when done irresponsibly, it is disenfranchising.
3⃣ Felony Disenfranchisement - The practice of barring individuals from voting based on prior felony convictions. These policies often have a disproportionate impact on communities of color, who comprise the majority of the current criminal justice system population.

We think of ourselves as Americans, as exceptional Americans. There's this idea of American exceptionalism. That shining city on the hill for the rest of the world to look to, and unfortunately, these days...
Lest you were thinking of leaving the US, fleeing somewhere else, well, too bad. The European Union, Canada, the Bahamas won't let us in anymore. Meanwhile, we've now got unmarked federal agents in the streets, we've got protests happening all over the country in record numbers..
Amidst it all, we are trying to hold an election & our means for doing so - by mail - is under attack too. I think that many of us are somewhere between concerned and, slide 10, deeply concerned. So what we're going to do is spend the next few minutes making sense of this mess.
