Don’t think about 64 days until election day. Think about 17 days until absentee ballots drop in Wisconsin. Today is the final monthly FEC deadline before voting starts.

If we deliver Wisconsin, Trump loses the White House. We need your help to do it. wisdems.org/deadline
Trump is coming to Kenosha tomorrow despite @GovEvers, @LGMandelaBarnes, & @AGKaul urging him to reconsider.

What Kenosha and Wisconsin need right now are healing. What Trump brings with him is division & hatred.

.@JoeBiden has unequivocally condemned violence—and called on Trump to do the same. But Trump believes his pathway to a victory is an America torn apart. KellyAnne Conway said so. And his actions show it every day.

We only have one option—a massive and resounding victory on November 3rd.

As @SpeakerPelosi has said, it's all riding on Wisconsin.

Chip in ahead of our critical deadline tonight at midnight: wisdems.org/deadline
If any Wisconsinites might follow you on Twitter, RT this: if you request an absentee ballot now, it should be in the mail in just 17 days. Go to iwillvote.com to get started.

(And chip in at wisdems.org/deadline!)
I'm astonished at the intensity of the response to this thread—in a very good way. We want to win. We're doing the work to win. And if—when—we do everything within our power, all the organizing, all the donating, all the amplification... we're gonna win. wisdems.org/deadline
Six hours and 45 minutes left until the deadline at midnight tonight. wisdems.org/deadline
Less than 3 hours to go until the midnight deadline. wisdems.org/deadline
60 minutes until the final monthly FEC deadline before voting starts in Wisconsin. I'm blown away by the response so far today. Keep it going!

Give us the resources we need to organize in every corner of the state and defeat Trump. Together, we can win. wisdems.org/deadline
I want to thank everyone who donated yesterday ahead of our crucial FEC fundraising deadline. Because of you, August 31 was our biggest online fundraising day of this cycle. I’m so grateful. 🙏
If you’re just seeing this thread today, you can still chip in. It won’t show up on our August FEC report, but we’ll put your money to good use to defeat Trump in Wisconsin this November.

Onwards!

THREAD: Mike Pence, who politically weaponized the tragedies in Kenosha in his RNC speech last night, has now been disinvited from delivering a commencement speech at a Wisconsin college. The trauma & pain of this moment is shaping politics—and revealing leaders’ character.
.@GovEvers traveled to Kenosha today, met w community leaders, and is holding a press conference *right now.* This week, Evers signed an executive order to hold a special session of the State Legislature to pass police accountability legislation.

nbcchicago.com/news/local/ken…
.@RepVos, hyper-partisan GOP Speaker of the State Assembly, is refusing to act on the police violence legislation, instead announcing a meaningless “task force” to study a problem that has been studied and studied—as people die and scream out for change.

We are reeling yet again from heartbreaking news from Kenosha.

This is Trump’s America.

Thread/statement 1/
We woke up this morning to the heartbreaking news of more tragedy in Kenosha. Online videos show a young man firing his gun at protesters, killing two and injuring one. We mourn the senseless death, send hope for recovery to the injured, and our prayers to grieving families.
This violence is the inevitable result of President Trump’s years of racist, disturbing rhetoric. Yesterday, an emboldened militia posted a call to “take up arms.” Last night, an out-of-state gunman, Kyle Rittenhouse did exactly that. Now, two lay dead. theverge.com/2020/8/26/2140…

This evening in Wisconsin, Kenosha police shot an unarmed Black father, Jacob Blake, in front of his children. It’s a sickening, infuriating tragedy, and a symptom of the deadly disease of white supremacy and racism that must be confronted and defeated in our state and nation. A photo of Jacob Blake with his children, provided to news m
We send our deepest prayers to Jacob Blake, and wish him and his loved ones strength in his recovery. This is yet another horrifying reminder of the violence of white supremacy, which devalues, maims, and ends Black lives in our state.
The officer who shot Mr. Blake seven times at point blank range should be investigated, tried, and convicted.
