Non-Republican candidates running for any and all public offices in #Florida are at risk of being summarily dismissed by Governor #RonDeSantis, in order to install one of his handpicked fellow fascists to enact unpopular and harmful policies.

Which then allow him to do things like this:

If you can, attend the meetings on Tuesday to record your opposition--and check your #VoterRegistration and #Vote in November and every election thereafter.

Speaking of #RonDeSantis, here's how the political landscape is changing in #Florida:

DeSantis endorsed 23 school board candidates across the state.
11 lost outright.
6 are headed to runoff voting (check your #VoterRegistration by the way)

Only six--a quarter--won outright.

Florida is not likely to ever be a truly progressive state, but holy cats, it is definitely not an unrecoverable abyss of ass backwards conservatism.

I also want to note how #Politico slants their reporting here: the issue is not what role parents have in shaping their children's education. The issue is *which* parents have been given authority to dictate how other parents educate *their own children*.

Reporting is not neutral when it erases context in favor of the #Christofascists

So, again: check your #VoterRegistration then #Vote

#WillBunch on the #2024DNC and how it's so different from all that's come before for at least four decades--and yes, that includes Barack Obama's campaigns.

On that vein, if you haven't, perhaps give this #PoliticsGirl short video a watch:

Most of us reduce elections to the one issue (or office or candidate) that we think most affect us, forgetting how interconnected it all is.

We need to win the WH, the Senate and the House to avoid going full fascist nation--but also so that we can pressure elected officials to protect us via rational regulations (meaning: not funded by industrial lobby)

For example (pardon the casual fatphobia and ableism) by @notjustbikes:

Check your registration, keep checking it, take a screenshot confirming you've registered, check you have the ID you need to vote.

Because the Christofascists are ready to disenfranchise as many voters are they can, and to scare and even jail however many they can--including elderly people.

Hey, look, fresh indictment of Trump, same charges, and fuck the Christofascist SCOTUS majority and their immunity for Trump--because, let us not lie to ourselves, if Biden were to use that ruling to do anything for the poor, or people who can get pregnant, or the fucking air we breathe and water we drink, he would not be covered.

"A vote for Trump is a vote to ban abortion in all 50 states; anyone who suggests otherwise is just trying to elect him (so he can ban abortion)" --@lolgop

Not everyone is terminally online, not everyone knows Trump didn't "change his position" on #Abortion. Not everyone knows that Republicans and Trump will do absolutely anything to get him elected, so they're free to control the rest of us to death

#COVID19 is still here; many people are left with #LongCOVID symptoms of varying severity, from fatigue to brain fog. #BigPharma have little motivation to do anything about it, so our only recourse is to #Vote, elect Democrats, and then bully them into doing the right thing for the country rather than corporations. (h/t @rebeccawatson)

Bonus: this strategy works for anything and everything you care about.

There's a lovely video about VP Kamala Harris visiting a Penzey's Spices store in Pittsburgh (clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpTCweo0tCQ; if you are a woman/femme of a certain age, have tissues handy. I cried).

MAGAts started leaving a flood of negative reviews, despite most not being actual customers, which leads to this statement by the company: https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/

There are a number of key Senate races that we must win if we want to keep control of the Senate and be able to do anything about SCOTUS or the judiciary at all, let alone anything else.

If you can, please read this thread by @Celeste_pewter about how we can help some at risk Senators (Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, and Angela Alsobrooks), as well as competitive races in FL and TX

A lot of people in the U.S. think that people with disabilities have it made: just apply for welfare! The reality is that more people go broke or die waiting for any benefits than those who get any help--and that help is limited and cruel.

#JohnOliver on #Disability

Call your representatives and push them to pass #SocialSecurityReform

Also, vote for a better government.
