We knew that Donald Trump's pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy would be bad -- especially under these circumstances -- but Amy Coney Barrett is a truly horrifying pick.

Judge Barrett is a conservative’s dream to fill RBG’s seat.
Let us explain why. 👇
She's heavily criticized Roe v. Wade -- calling the landmark ruling "a framework of abortion on demand" -- and made clear that she will ignore precedent and overturn laws as she sees fit. She's attacked efforts to ensure access to contraception as an assault on religious liberty.
She's openly opposed the Affordable Care Act, critiquing the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the individual mandate. Another ACA case is scheduled to begin just one week after November’s election. Confirming Coney Barrett would be an insurmountable barrier to the ACA's future.
She was paid by an anti-LGBTQ hate group to deliver a lecture.
She's also made a number of alarming rulings siding with employers and corporations instead of workers. Her first opinion issued as a judge on the Seventh Circuit helped a company racially segregate their workforce.
Barrett has already shown she would side with Trump over our democracy since she opposed Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Allowing Trump to name another far-right extremist to the Supreme Court could hand him the upcoming election if it came down to a judicial ruling.
Barrett has asserted other baffling opinions, including opposition to basic criminal justice reforms.

She's demonstrated her extremism consistently throughout her career and would uphold Trump’s agenda for decades to come if confirmed.

We must stop that from happening.
Tell your senators they must immediately commit to vote against her confirmation.

Here’s what we honestly believe: We’re going to win. 🧵
We know the polls are chaotic, but based on every input we have — the Indivisible groups in the field, the anecdotes from the doors, the quality of the campaigns, the dominant policy issues at play, the volunteer energy, and the voter enthusiasm — we believe we will win.
But belief isn’t enough. You still have the power to influence the outcome with one day left to go.

No matter where you live, you can make a difference in this election over the next 24 hours! Plug in your zip code and we’ll show you all your options. 👇 majorityovermaga.org/all-in?source=…

Labor Day is about celebrating the progress won by American workers. And on this Labor Day, it's worth celebrating the resurgence of unions in our country.

This summer has provided plenty of examples of the power of unions, collective action, and solidarity. 🧵 Image

Writers have been on strike in Hollywood since May and actors joined them in July. After 4 months and countless cringeworthy comments by studio executives, the unions remain united in their fight for fair compensation and protections against AI usage. latimes.com/entertainment-…

We just won the most important election of 2023! @janetforjustice’s victory tonight creates a liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court ahead of anticipated seismic cases on abortion access, voting rights, and fair maps. This is a huge win for our democracy!
It puts an end to the judicial rubber stamp for the rigged legislature’s experiments in anti-majoritarian governance in a state that has become a testing ground for the GOP’s efforts to lock in minority rule across the country.
This win will likely result in abortion rights being restored in the state. It could lead to the first fair elections in years for the state’s legislature and even result in newly competitive seats in the House ahead of 2024.

What’s happening in Nashville this week is about gun violence and our continued fight for our lives. It’s also about the MAGA GOP’s reflexive need to attack our democracy any time they’re confronted with the deadly consequences of their policies. 🧵tn.chalkbeat.org/2023/4/3/23668…
Students at school, congregants at places of worship, shoppers at grocery stores: no matter who we are, we're all at continued risk because of legislative inaction. Folks in Tennessee, like countless communities devastated by gun violence, are literally fighting for their lives.
Most people want our government to do something about gun violence. Many made their voices heard in Nashville this week. At first, this outcry was met with disturbing indifference: TN’s own @RepTimBurchett admitted they weren’t going to fix the problem. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Speaking of shameful, let's talk about some of the actually shameful things @RealMarkFinchem does (like being too afraid to @ us).

Let’s start with being a self-identified member of the Oath Keepers. time.com/6203011/mark-f… Image
Mark Finchem isn’t just talk though - he traveled across the country to join his fellow Oath Keepers for the insurrection on January 6 at the US Capitol.

Mark Finchem didn’t just attend the January 6 riots though, he was a key planner in starting this dangerous campaign in Arizona.

*taps microphone* And now an important message from Secretary @HillaryClinton!

We're all focused on winning the midterms and defending our congressional majorities. That’s critical. But we also must take the fight to MAGA Republicans at the state level: crushthecoup.org
All our Crush the Coup candidates are running in highly competitive races and we’ve identified one from each state who is facing extra challenges that an infusion of late cash will help them overcome. If you're able, please consider making a donation: secure.actblue.com/donate/crushth… Image
These are races we can win but these six candidates need more support. People running for state legislature don’t have the benefit of big email lists, media coverage, or nationwide name recognition, but their races could very well determine what kind of democracy we have in 2024. Image
