I'm on a bus to AZ to canvass & encourage others to #Vote. I voted because I owe it to my hard working immigrant parents who contribute to the US like any other American. As a 1st generation, Latina woman & daughter of farmworkers, I'm proud to be their voice. -Esmeralda, Fresno.

“I’ll protect #women whether they like it or not” - #Trump

This just screams:

“Trump, found liable #SexualAbuse.”

&

“Trump, took away #WomensRights to #BodilyAutonomy.”

While #Democrats have broken countless #promises to #migrants, #Trump’s #extreme #antiimmigrant #politics presents an even graver #threat to #immigrant #voters.

#Democrats have treated Arab American voters shabbily. Some might call that racism.

Why does zero delay in returning your ballot matter? Here's how mine is progressing. Mailed to me on 10/9 (I'm told). Didn't receive until 10/19. (Yep, I'm out of town, but that's still a long time.) Returned at an area hub with morning pickup on 10/21. As of this moment on 10/29, it's still drifting out there somewhere, not yet "received." Do. Not. Wait. Not a single moment that's avoidable.

A Woman Died After Being Told It Would Be a “#Crime” to Intervene in Her #Miscarriage at a #Texas Hospital

#JosseliBarnica is 1 of at least 2 pregnant TX women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the #FetalHeartbeat stopped.

For 40 hrs, the anguished 28-yr-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter; all the while, her uterus remained exposed to bacteria.

3 days after she delivered, #JosseliBarnica died of an infection.

It might be Halloween, but that is not stopping canvassers from going door to door in Arizona to get out the vote. #Vote

Even as the #election will shape the #judiciary, the judiciary may also shape the election. As in 2020, #Republicans & #Democrats have already asked federal #judges, including those on #SCOTUS, to resolve disputes about ballots before Election Day. Their rulings could determine the outcome of a close race.

Perhaps related, Americans’ faith in the #courts has eroded in the #Trump era.

#law #courts #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #Vote #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

The appeals courts lean slightly #Republican, while the district courts lean #Democratic (if you count senior judges who work less but still hear cases)…. The next president will likely be able to tip that balance, letting one party’s appointees make up a clear majority of judges.

#law #judiciary #courts #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #Vote #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

In a typical 4-yr term, a president replaces about ¼ of the country’s 870 active federal #judges, across both federal district & appeals courts. #Trump filled 231 vacancies, & President #Biden may equal that number before the next #Congress takes over.

Partly as a result, Republican & Democratic presidents have each appointed about ½ of the judges on federal courts.

#law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #Vote #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

In the lower #courts, #judges can serve for life. So the more a president appoints, the more he or she can shape the country. #SCOTUS hears only about 80 cases per year, meaning that lower courts are often the final arbiter on many issues. They set #precedent on #criminal #justice, #bankruptcy proceedings, #corporate disputes & #antitrust enforcement, & on whether federal #laws & rules are #constitutional.

#law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #Vote #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

#Harris also wants to enact #TermLimits & an #ethics code for #SCOTUS, given the revelation that Thomas & Alito accepted luxury gifts w/o disclosing them. That’s unlikely if #Republicans control the #Senate — & maybe even if #Democrats do, thanks to the #filibuster.

#law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #Vote #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

#Republicans seem more likely to control the #Senate next year. If they do, they can block #a President #KamalaHarris from filling a vacancy, much as they did Barack #Obama in 2016. “If he were re-elected, he’d probably get to appoint one if not two members to the #UnitedStates #SupremeCourt,” Harris said of #Trump last week. She did not say how many appointees she may get if she wins.

It's a great sign that 51% of the early core in Indiana is women and 6% is "other" (trans/enby?).

Only 43% of men have voted so far.

Turnout is the key to changing Indiana for the better.
