THREAD: When things look hopeless, look to the helpers. Check out @Every_District, a grassroots group working hard to turn state governments blue. Here are the local races in key states to donate to, helping build a more progressive union state by state.
Turn Texas blue! According to @Every_District: Democrats need to flip 9 seats to take the Texas House majority. EveryDistrict endorsed 10 candidates running to flip districts blue. 100% of what you give goes directly to the candidates. everydistrict.us/map/texas-hous…
Turn Wisconsin blue! According to @Every_District: Democrats can flip the Wisconsin House this year. 100% of what you give will go directly to EveryDistrict’s endorsed candidates. everydistrict.us/map/wisconsin-…
Turn Pennsylvania blue! According to @Every_District: Democrats need to flip nine seats to take control of the PA House. 100% of what you give will go directly to candidates in Pennsylvania on the frontlines of turning the state government blue: everydistrict.us/map/pennsylvan…
Seriously, turn Pennsylvania blue! According to @Every_District: Democrats need to flip four seats to tie the PA Senate, where a Democratic Lieutenant Governor would cast a tie-breaking vote. Support 4 competitive races to help flip them from red to blue: everydistrict.us/map/pennsylvan…
Turn Michigan blue! According to @Every_District: Democrats need to flip four seats to take control of the Michigan House, and they are in a strong position to do so. 100% of what you give will go directly to key state races in Michigan: everydistrict.us/map/michigan-h…

THREAD: Here's a running list of things to consider doing now, during these quiet weeks before the storm. Add your own in the comments and share with anyone who needs help right now.
Have faith in a higher power: whatever that may be for you. Have faith in your inner light. You are not alone. Ideas, like democracy, are powerful, and cannot be killed.
Commit to staying human: this isn’t the time to blame and rip each other apart. You can do that privately with people you trust, if that makes you feel better. Be committed to unity and collective safety. Stay human.

Russia wants you to think sanctions aren't working. In this week's @gaslitnation, I talk to investigative journalist @StephaniBaker on her powerful new book Punishing Putin—how we can go even further to dismantle Russia's war machine and fight kleptocracy gaslitnation.libsyn.com/punishing-putin
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a staggering 20,000 sanctions have been imposed, making it the most sanctioned nation on earth. These sanctions have cost Russia hundreds of billions, worsening its economy
Russian oligarchs feel the pressure, with billions frozen in the West, yachts amd mansions seized—their lavish lifestyles in Europe have come to a halt. Now, their playground is mostly limited to Turkey and Dubai

Trump and MAGA are trying to steal the 2024 election. Their Big Lie conspiracy already laid the groundwork. Here's what you need to know about how to stop them🧵 Image
Remember: Mueller said under oath to Congress Trump could be indicted after leaving office. The fact that he wasn't indicted by the DOJ as president or after for RussiaGate is institutional failure pbs.org/newshour/polit…
As we saw in 2016 if Trump steals the election he gets to stay in power. No one is going to do much about it other than call for investigations and come up with excuses for why he gets to stay in power, normalizing the crime. The only time to stop Trump is now.

We are in the fight of our lives, and the media normalizes Trump like they did in 2016. Listen to this week's @gaslitnation, The Kremlin Convention, on the #RNC2024 and the "both-sidesing" of America's far-right driven political violence crisis🧵gaslitnation.libsyn.com/kremlin-conven…
"The ridiculous drone of bleating sheep from Animal Farm in the mainstream media call on 'both sides' to turn the temperature down." --@gaslitnation
"The media continues to fail the American public. The most dangerous people in America swear, finally, finally, Trump is going to see the light of Christ or something. Suddenly, he's going to become a normal human being, a human being who actually feels things."

Eighty years after countless people gave their lives liberating Europe, fascism makes a comeback in European elections. @terrelljstarr and I discuss the MAGA virus, its devastating impact on Ukraine, and how to resist it in this week's @gaslitnation gaslitnation.libsyn.com/why-is-fascism…
I asked @terrelljstarr, who's in Ukraine, the impact of MAGA deliberately delaying aid for 6 critical months, giving Russia the advantage. It's bad.
“Russia has been attacking Ukraine's critical infrastructure, causing scheduled blackouts across the country, especially in central and eastern Ukraine.”

Project 2025 is 900 pages long, because they don't want you to read it. Anne Nelson read every creepy page and breaks it down in the Gaslit Nation Project 2025 Super Special.🧵 Trump as a puppet of the Christian nationalism, Heritage Foundation, KKK and white Jesus holding an AK-47 with a Koch label on his robe
Project 2025 is the radical right's blueprint for dismantling American democracy. They want to eliminate the Dept of Education, turn the FBI/DOJ into the president's personal security forces to crush his enemies. It's straight out of an authoritarian playbook. #Project25
Project 2025 even aims to repeal Schedule F, allowing a president to replace thousands of federal employees with partisan loyalists. It's the ultimate cronyism, threatening the impartiality of our civil service. #Project25
