I have no idea who is controlling the purse strings for the DSCC, DNC and other party funding, but Tim Ryan and Cheri Beasley are both candidates that can win, and the GOP knows this and is dumping money into Ohio and NC. Cheri and Tim need help! Here is the link to donate to Tim Ryan who can bear Vance!

I don’t know what @facebook is up to 😡😡
I have gone from 170,000+ followers, to fewer than 10k. Checked a couple of other allies with big followings and same for them. Right before the election when we really need to reach and mobilize folks, Facebook has artificially muted us! Others on @facebook nothing too.

THREAD 🧵 : NC is the sleeper race of 2022 that could determine the balance of power in the Senate.

Let me tell you about Budd, and how to volunteer to help Cheri Beasley turn this seat BLUE!

Budd is a sitting member of Congress. He is more extreme and dangerous than even Dr. Oz and J.D. Vance.
- he co-sponsored of Graham’s nationwide abortion ban. He believes in banning abortion, with NO exceptions.
- he is an election denier, who voted not to certify Biden

Britain is on the cusp of having its THIRD female prime minister. We are so painfully behind.

The misogyny is our country seems to be getting worse. It’s not just by the GOP - almost every woman running in NY primaries lost - Democrats have reckoning to do too. Heartbreaking! ** in not is

The way Musk is alienating natural buyers of his product, looking irrational to Wall Street, and the cars are spontaneously combusting, it’s easy to imagine Tesla becoming the next Edsel. I mean

https://twitter.com/svnnh_wlch/status/1527374893691482129

From Twitter board meeting last night:
“The Board and Mr. Musk agreed to a transaction at $54.20 per share. We believe this agreement is in the best interest of all shareholders. We intend to close the transaction and enforce the merger agreement."

womp womp. Bloomberg columnist:

Musk "is lying:" Disputes about spam bots "are not why he is backing away from the deal, as you can tell from the fact that the spam bots are why he did the deal."

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Musk now claims 1 in 5 Twitter accounts are fake, and that gives him grounds to walk from the deal. Gee, before he acquired a 9% stake, bid for the company, and sold billions of Tesla shares to finance it, this seems like something to have checked 🤦🏻‍♀️ cnbc.com/2022/05/17/elo… This is starting to stink of market manipulation to drive the stock down, walk from a $54/share bid and try to buy it lower.

The so-called pro-life zealots are making death threats against the woman who PEACEFULLY protested in front of Kavanaugh’s house in her neighborhood. They are threatening to kill to both her and her children, and flooding her employer with threatening calls!

1/2 She has had to hire security. Pitch in what you can, and share in your networks.

Also shame on all you so-called progressive white men who tweeted that peaceful protesting is wrong. Tag them to donate!

“You have no choice. Not your choice, not your body, your body is mine.”

This is where we are headed folks!
As horrible as his public statements are, as is @FDNY silence, let's acknowledge that this scumbag is saying out loud what so many Republicans white men are already thinking and saying in private. This is their plan.

I lost nearly 4k followers on Twitter yesterday, and gained nearly 1k on Facebook.

If you are unsure, it’s an alternative until we find something better than both, which I believe will be soon.

I have managed to grow a huge community there that is a safe space for discussion. People are expressing concern about Trump returning, but how about all the neo-Nazi and hate group leaders who have been banned across all platforms coming back.

Add, Musk’s avatar was literally a glorified penis prior to bidding on the company.

Fantastic event with Michigan’s @dananessel and @JocelynBenson - two of the most crucial races for 2022! During the event, we learned that Trump’s handpicked candidate for Michigan Sec of State had won the GOP primary. Kristina Karamo would be part of his plan to overturn 2024 if needed.

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince.

$2 billion. And Kushner worked in the Trump regime on determining US foreign policy. But let’s talk more about Hunter Biden’s lap top 🤦🏻‍♀️ Who remembers when Kushner/the US government backed a blockade of Qatar by the UAE and Saudis, after a Qatar sovereign fund refused to bail out Kushner’s 666 Fifth Avenue?

Midterms are 7 months from tomorrow. Unless you like the sound of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get involved! We are the ones who must keep our democracy safe - no one is coming to save us! 🇺🇸 💙 There are also governors, attorneys general, and secretsries of state races in key states PA, MI, WI, AZ and GA in November. These states are Trump’s path to overturn 2024 and he will have candidates running in all of them. Let’s get focused!

Tucker Carlson is giving Putin a pretext to use chemical weapons in real time right now. Can’t believe Fox lets this guy on air! He is literally spreading Russian propaganda! He is now siding with Russia over the Pentagon in the middle of a war!

US Intelligence says Putin is “angry and frustrated” with the failure of his invasion, and that he “feels aggrieved the West does not give him proper deference and perceives this as a war he cannot afford to lose,” and may double down. And on Russian forces:
“They are having morale problems. They are having supply problems. They are having fuel problems. They’re having food problems. They are meeting a very stiff and determined Ukrainian resistance.”

It’s a really bad sign for Facebook that after a historic correction losing $251 billion in market cap last week, the stock hasn’t found a floor and bounced back - it’s down another 5% today. Meta could be in a slow burn death spiral. Oh, and womp womp.

THREAD on activism:
People have been asking what they can do in 2022. Here are some ideas....

1) pull out your 2018 calendar and do whatever you were doing ahead of those midterms. Check in with your local Indivisible and see what they're up to and/or get them activated!

1/ Find out what races you have in 2022 for all of the above:
* House seat (ALL are up in 2022)
* Senate
* state senate or assembly
* school board
* other local

Get primary and elections dates in your calendar.

THREAD on Sinema:
Sinema's behavior has made no common sense to me. Surely she knows too that she would lose in the 2024 Democratic primary. Why would she do it?

I have info from an inside source who lives in AZ and has a direct connection. With his permission am sharing.

1/ First, and this likely isn't breaking news to anyone: Sinema has a highly overinflated ego. She believes since she has been able to work her way up, and accumulate so many academic degrees in a short time, she is a true super star -head and shoulders above intellectually.

We have just 10 months until midterms, it’s time to re-orient our thinking. We learned in 4 years of Trump that the presidency has tremendous power-Biden should start enacting BBB through EO‘s. This will give enough time for them to take affect & show the American people results. Schumer‘s people told me it would pass before August break. They told the indivisible groups in NY by the end of Sept. They just cannot get it done, and many of our Democratic Senators lack the urgency needed for the time we are in. We need to get on another path starting now.

Who else has lost all remaining empathy for the freedumb anti-vaxxers at this point? ✋ These ignorants are a small, and shrinking part of our population.

Let them have their freedumb at home. Do like NYC, and ban them from concerts, restaurants and other indoor events.
