@GovPritzker hi! There's an account on Bluesky for the governor—just curious if it's genuine, since it's not verified to @/gov.illinois.gov or @/jbpritzker.com.

California friends! If you're near south LA, there's still a chance to flip a House district & help the Dems control the House—blocking Trump laws, investigating Trump evils. There are sign ups for in-person ballot curing to fix problems so votes count:

Got a moment RIGHT NOW and some nervous energy? Help people in Nevada who've already voted and just need to know how to fix a ballot problem! It's better than being nervous!

Want a great way to help out today by just a donation? Help buy pizza for people waiting in line! It really does matter to people waiting in long lines because of voter suppression, and it's super quick.

I’ve signed up to make ballot curing calls today: helping Dem voters who've voted absentee fix their ballot problems. Curing made a difference in a number of races before, and people are friendly and glad for the help. Can you join?

Y'all, I had the immense pleasure of reading The Butcher's Daughter, the upcoming novel by @david_demchuk & @corinne_writer. The story of the life of Mrs. Lovett, given her own life & story beyond Sweeney Todd, full of meaning & fascinating history. Highly rec'd for next year!

Just signed up for two sessions to help voters with ballot or registration issues over the next few days. It's a little scary, but it's helping people who want to vote and will respond well. I'll be glad I did it. If you're feeling nervous, help out too!

Menstrual health is such an important topic—excited to fund PERIOD.Ontario's important work through the Awesome Foundation!
We are excited to announce our latest grant recipient: Period. Ontario! As Ontario's chapter of the Period. movement, they provide support and menstrual products to those that need them and hold Packing Parties to assemble the care packages! Pretty awesome 🩸⚡️

Where to volunteer, you might ask? I'm planning to text bank to Michigan! There's also phone banking coming up: Lots of other opportunities out there if you search.
