I just got an English version of the horrible, anti-trans mailer that American First Legal Foundation sent out. Is it just really bad targeting or is this a disinformation campaign aimed at all brown folks now? #copolitics

Thank you @MarkRuffalo for standing up for democracy and helping us to raise money to get out the vote 🗳 and @Rosie for doubling donations!
I feel like it's 1997 and I just caught a koosh ball.
Today I learned:
1. Not to call @rosie at 3am.
2. That all donations to my list of local champions running to save democracy will be 💵DOUBLED💵
Will you join me and support these champions? 👇👇

"Fox News said not to let your kids trick-or-treat. Senate Republicans put out a whole PSA. The DEA & LA Sheriff’s Department said they’d intercepted drugs destined for kids." None of it happened. Because all of it was a politicized lie. theappeal.org/halloween-rain…

“I think the question we should be asking ourselves is, what is the system that is going to best facilitate the most participation?” I spoke to @boltsmag about changes I helped make to Colorado’s voter registration system that are inspiring Washington D.C.

Suddenly the "smaller government" "we shouldn't pay taxes" crowd is grumpy that the government is collecting less money from people with student loans? My interest rate on my federal loans is *double* my mortgage rate. Here's the breakdown:
Even if you think college should cost these bonkers sums that are unattainable (without loans) for the average person, why should rich folks (who can pay up front) ultimately pay about half of what middle class, working, and poor folks pay?

Canceling $10,000 in student debt when the average white borrower is $12,000 in debt, while Black women hold on average over $52,000 isn’t just unacceptable, it’s structural racism.
