    I realize this is bleak but the passivity needs to go. Things to do: 1) Make it VERY clear what SCOTUS just did to hurt average people 2) Win messaging battle by repeating shit GOP pulled 2) Shut Senate down 3) Make it very clear moderates will be responsible for what is to come

        Have you told a low information voter that the GOP dominated SCOTUS just voted to make public schools crappier (by devastating public unions)? Make sure you know how to explain that.

        Have you told low information voters how the GOP dominated SCOTUS just let Trump decide who can be an American? Make sure you know how to explain that.

        The Senate normally works via unanimous consent. Without, to avoid all the process votes. But if anyone objects, you have to go through process votes.

        And Dems need to use every tool at the state level also. Gerrymander NY and NJ. Petition for partisan redistricting in CA. Unify behind a right to vote amendment. Stop throwing a cotillion at the GOP gunfight.

        Ok @umanoid. AND, of course, vote. AND register people to vote. AND get them to vote. AND keep representing, sheltering, and helping the people that need you.

        I just started noticing it and this was the first time I decided to look at what was going on. It might be Twitter's move to "hide tweets that detract from the conversation". We could call it political censorship maybe. 🙃https://gizmodo.com/twitter-says-it-will-start-hiding-tweets-that-negative-1826046495 …

        Twitter can suck it. My tweets are society-enriching, for sure. On a serious note, I've seen it happen before, but never to myself. Maybe it has but no one ever told me.
