Happy Filibuster Friday! New York Indivisibles have a message: end the filibuster to fix our democracy.
The filibuster is outdated. It's an accidental 19th century legislative quirk. It's got to go. #filibusterfriday

We can't give Mitch McConnell a veto over what the Senate does. #FilibusterFriday
We won the election, and now we need to govern. We can't let the GOP obstruct progress. #FilibusterFriday
We've got to get rid of the filibuster if we're going to make DC a state. And making DC a state is a moral imperative for an inclusive democracy. #FilibusterFriday
It's really simple: end the filibuster so we can fix our democracy. #FilibusterFriday
New Yorkers are looking for leadership. That means staying strong on the filibuster. #FilibusterFriday

Some weekend reflections on who Washington works for, from a former congressional staffer. 1/
During the Great Recession, I answered phones for a progressive Member of Congress representing a red district in Virginia. Our district had been hit really hard. In some areas unemployment was 20%.
We'd get calls every day from people who were desperate for help - they were underwater on their mortgages or on the verge of foreclosure, their unemployment was running out, they were sick and uninsured.

GOOD MORNING.

YOU are a person who is outraged about the mockery of justice in the Senate. You've already called your Senators. You want to do MORE.

WE AT @IndivisibleTeam HAVE GOT YOU COVERED.

READ ON.
What we need right now is an avalanche of calls, directed specifically at vulnerable/flippable Republican Senators. If you don't live in a target state with one of those Senators, you might think there's nothing you can do.

BUT WAIT.
What you CAN do is call progressive constituents in those target states and connect THEM directly with their Senators. We make it super easy with our Hubdialer tool:

I cannot overstate enough how much you should read this piece by @ThePlumLineGS on the coming fight for real democracy reform: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@ThePlumLineGS First he quotes @leedrutman's piece, which you also need to read right now, on why we are potentially poised on the brink of a new reform era: nytimes.com/2019/11/25/opi… Image
@ThePlumLineGS @leedrutman And pairs that with a crucial, if still somewhat hopeful observation: "ambitious and deep structural democratic reform has now become an absolutely central component of any future Democratic Party agenda."

OK y'all there is A LOT going on right now on the shutdown crisis and the next 48 hours in the Senate are CRUCIAL. I'm going to try and run through it all and talk about where your voice is needed.
McConnell and Schumer have negotiated an agreement to bring TWO bills to the Senate floor on Thursday. Either bill needs sixty votes to pass.
The first bill is a Trump immigration bill. This is what he announced on Saturday. It's the wall, radical shifts to asylum policy, more money for cages and enforcement.

They're pretending this is a compromise. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A COMPROMISE. The Senate must reject it.
