As of today, @votefwd volunteers have prepared ONE MILLION letters to unlikely voters in key districts. There's still one more day to write letters from home. Hit up votefwd.org, spread the word, and get out the vote 🇺🇸💌

Would anyone support me in starting the “rational and pragmatic” party? We aren’t liberal, progressive, conservative, or anything else. Just strive to be rational and pragmatic instead of irrational and dogmatic.

I'm very proud of my friend @sjforman who is starting a movement to raise voter turnout to help Democrats win a majority of the House of Representatives. Follow him and @votefwd and join in on sending letters to encourage more Democratic votes in key races. xitter.cf/sjforman/status/100444…

👋 I’m beta testing an idea around having more fruitful discussions on heated topics... starting with gun control! If you have want to add your perspective here’s the quick 10 question survey, mostly multiple choice, should only take a minute or two. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… – at Berkeley, CA

10 easy pre-questions for a fruitful discussion about guns

This is an experiment! The goal is to identify a set of people who represent a wide variety of positions around gun control and to have a number of in person and online conversations to explore that...
