There's a lot of Trump drama right now, but what we badly need to check it is political power. We need a Congress that will hold hearings, call witnesses, and do its job. We need a Congress that will aggressively protect the census. We need ICE called to testify about its actions

The Great Slate has put two candidates with a shot at winning on the November ballot, in districts that were written off by the political establishment as not worth contesting. We can get up to three more, but we need your help.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Whether you think this is a good use of your time and energy, or there is something else more worthy (maybe you live in one of the few swing districts), spend some time and money helping prepare for the midterm battle this summer, when candidates are most in need.

If you're barred from helping American political campaigns because of nationality, you can donate to Beyond The Choir, an excellent organization getting voters registered in Pennsylvania (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beyond-the-choir-pa …) or fund my own work at Tech Solidarity (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/tech_solidarity …)

Whatever else you do, please remember that Trump drama is a paralyzing tactic being used against you and the things you value.

In particular, here are two great candidates we haven't been able to help very much, whose primary is weeks away. Bush has a track record of getting Republican votes and is in an R+6 district. McCormick is running against an incumbent so unethical the Justice Department fired himpic.twitter.com/bBThdZeK8k
