🧵My son and I interviewed just 14 members from @NSLforAmerica a group of over 900 experienced veterans and national security leaders. We were moved by their passion and willingness to break with military tradition and speak out politically as they believe the consequences of another Trump presidency would be disastrous for both America and the world. They believe Harris is abundantly qualified for the job.
“NSL4A is a 501(c)(4) bipartisan organization comprised of individuals who served in various senior leadership positions that include all six military branches, elected federal and state offices, and various government departments and agencies. Our members bring a diverse and unique perspective on what a healthy Democracy needs to thrive. Our experts can also recognize the most remote warning signs that signal when a Democracy is in danger.”
Please pass along to fellow veterans, Republican or conservative friends and family, undecided voters, or folks who are questioning whether or not their vote is important.

To Alaska (aka Amanda - we figured it out!) Thread - Thank you for sharing this with us. My dad died of cancer when I was 18. Kathryn's parents died within a year of each other when she was 25, her dad of a heart attack while her mom was sick with cancer....
The loss of them has been a huge part of our lives and a huge part of what forged our bond together. We are so sorry for your loss, so moved that this movie meant something to you and your dad and so glad you asked this question....

Stop the execution of Julius Jones. At 19 years old, he was convicted of a murder he says he did not commit. He's lived on death row for 21 years, held in solitary confinement for 23 hrs a day and is allowed one hour of sunlight a day. Please read thread. change.org/p/julius-jones…
Julius was a 19-year-old student athlete with a promising future, attending the University of Oklahoma on an academic scholarship. It is clear that Julius’ lawyer did not adequately defend him, and that explicit racial bias played a significant role in the process.

These are words that deeply connected to me and my family from our dear cousin, Rabbi Benjamin Barnett. So grateful for his clarity and grace here.
I want to emphasize that criticism of the nation state of Israel is not the same as criticism of Judaism, Jewish or Israeli people, much the same way as criticism of the American government is not the same as criticizing American people.

Join me and my family in supporting the Invest in Our New York act (IONY) investinourny.org. Script and numbers to call in the bottom of this thread. There's a state-wide coalition of orgs and luminaries advocating for the adoption of IONY's 6 progressive tax proposals...
into the NYState budget. (social justice orgs are organizing around IONY as a 'tax the rich" campaign, which it is. Others like saying it's a 'progressive tax' campaign, because we are indeed progressing towards more just practices, in this case towards a more just economy...

This is nuts! Please share with everyone who knows anyone in Colorado. We’ve seen these tactics before in states like Georgia & Alabama. A ban on abortion later in pregnancy is a step to banning abortion outright. Coloradans can stop Prop 115. voteno115.com#NoOn115
The proponents of this initiative have been clear — they want to force a woman to continue a pregnancy with no exceptions for health or individual circumstances — even in cases of rape, risks to the woman’s health, or a lethal fetal diagnosis. #NoOn115

From my #PhoneBanking session a couple weeks ago. I SAVED A VOTE by helping Wendy fix her incorrect registration! These last two weekends are the most crucial for #GOTV efforts. Sign up and make calls starting today. We need you. thelastweekends.org/doit Let’s get to work! #Vote
This stuff ain’t easy or the most comfortable for lots of folks. It’s not always comfortable for me. I’ve been hung up on many times, sometimes I feel awkward and ridiculous making calls, but then I help someone and I know there are thousands of others doing this work with me.

RV Return - We traveled out west with our son to visit our other son and his partner. Our first RV experience. Then our son abandoned us to our own devices for the return trip, but he provided chocolate cake for the journey. Back in July.
RV Return - Chocolate Cake and Oxygen. I was at high altitude in Colorado.
