“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Thomas Paine, 1776

"She isn't a serious candidate" is their favorite phrase of invalidation. Jessica is serious about her candidacy, and so are those of us who support her. The most "serious" Americans are those rising up now to pave a new path. Go Jessica!

Rubbish. When I asked you what I had done to make you attack me on TV, you said the problem was that I ran my campaign on “feelings.” The one acting on “feelings” was you, Sir. An honest appraisal of my work would have lead you to a different conclusion.marianne2020.com/issues

You must be kidding, Joe Lockhart. You didn’t just boo a woman candidate: you lied about her on TV and publicly shamed her. Please don’t present yourself like some defender of the honor of women.

No you didn’t. The DNC’s job should be to facilitate democracy, not dictate it or manipulate it. You’re the modern equivalent of men with cigars in a back room deciding who the candidate will be. We’ll win in 2020-not because of but despite the way you’ve manipulated the process.
Absolutely not. We put in the work to ensure power was returned to the grassroots, we will be following the rules set forth by the DNC. We will not bend on this, we will not change our rules. politi.co/36NU2Zm

Watching senators vote on whether or not to allow witnesses at the impeachment trial, mainly straight down party lines. 51-49 No. Anyone who doesn’t think electoral politics matters should reconsider.This is an extraordinary moment. The struggle is in the hands of the people now.

Where is voter suppression an issue? theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

These are the things we most need to worry about now....
Ohio counties removed more than 460,000 voter registrations in two purges last year. But thousands of errors emerged last summer ahead of the second mass cancellation of voter registrations. @DispatchAlerts

Powers That Be will feel the anger over what is happening today; one of their responses will be to double down on voter suppression efforts. Be very, very involved in this. ACLU etc.

Don’t think attending a march is going to fix this. During the Viet Nam War era marches mattered more; today’s opponents of democracy do not CARE how many people march! This is about raw electoral power. The most important march now is the march to the polls.

This day represents the climactic moment in an accumulated pattern of both covert and overt attacks on our democracy. But think of it like Pearl Harbor or 9/11; we didn’t just crumble. Yes, people grieved...but no one doubted that we would respond. As we will respond to this.

We can’t fight dog whistles directly. We have to drown them out with beautiful music. The problem isn’t just that hate and authoritarianism have been shouting at us; it’s that love and a genuine celebration of liberty have been practically whispering in comparison. Start singing!

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping. Anger only diminishes our power. Whining is absolutely not an option. The answer now? GET BUSY. Progressive candidates are running in primaries all over the country. HELP THEM!secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

We are currently experiencing the downfall of American democracy. But that doesn’t mean this is the end of the story, because We the People are going to lift it back up on November 3. Every day until then should be devoted to the effort. Nothing, nothing, nothing matters more.
