I spent the afternoon immersed in various forms of my own personal therapy. I'm back and I'm ready to tear some shit up.

And I'm just gonna say it: I'm not backing another politician, ever again, who isn't willing to set shit on fire and burn down white supremacist patriarchy.
I'm going to center on people with a history of fighting for justice, people invested in equity, people who know what it means to fight, people who are relentless. I don't give a fuck where they come from or whether they're "experienced."

I'm looking at a coalition of warriors.
And WE make the army--leaders, generals and priestesses alike--as long as we are willing to listen and build and fight.

Make no mistake about it: I don't care if it all ends in ashes as long as what comes next allows nothing like what happened today to ever happen again.

Demand that the Senate Rules Committee amend the Secure Elections Act to require states to: (1) give voters the option to HAND mark their ballots (like the #PAVEAct); & (2) conduct Risk Limiting Audits (like the #PAVEAct). Deliberations are TOMORROW! 1/ demwritepress.com/2018/08/21/cal…
2/ Here is a link to the phone numbers and emails of all Committee members. Pls contact them all, even if they are not your senators. Pls reply #Done if you do this. Thanks! drive.google.com/open?id=1pb7aV…
3/ Note: These provisions are already in the #PAVEAct, which was just endorsed by @BrennanCenter and several additional senators. But it is the Secure Elections Act that is up for deliberations, which is why we must demand that it be amended to be more like the #PAVEAct. TY!

The 3d Cir opinion on Chaka Fattah et al's corruption convictions is now online. Bottom line: while it overturns certain charges and reinstates others, the number of 10-year concurrent sentences he's still facing means no change in his jail time. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/16439… (1/)
All the convictions relating to the illegal excess campaign loan from Al Lord and the various schemes to repay him and Tom Lindenfeld stand, including RICO. Convictions relating to the phony Porsche sale, for which the trial court judge directed acquittal, are reinstated. (2/)
As to the bribery charges involving Fattah and Vederman, the Court tossed the convictions based on improper jury instructions pre-McDonnell, with remand for potential retrial on those counts. Here's how the Court sums up its ruling. (3/)

1 / DEPLORABLE WORLD
A story written with no plan or script through nano-chapters using the prompts from #vss365 #AmWriting #SunScribbles #SunWIP #SciFi #Satsplat #BadWordSat
#Swim steady and firm”, 15 yr old David told the others. They had been prepared. Their go-bags had the clothes approved by Deplorables and they had a small list of safe-houses in the mainland. All the adults in the island died do make their escape possible. #vss365 #AmWriting
In the mainland, it was safer to marry the kids to each other. They would live with their assigned parents according to the fake identity genealogy. What used to be known as the #cycle of abuse had been normalized. They had to blend in and hide in plain sight. #vss365 #AmWriting

A lot of people have been asking me over the last 12 hours why I'm pushing for #HopeHicks to be @realDonaldTrump's new CoS so let me explain:
1) Kelly is leaving... yes, I know what Trump said, I know what Kelly said... but take I know enough people in the WH to know, Kelly is leaving.
2) Personel is policy, the next CoS will be responsible for hiring and overseeing the hiring of many important positions. Under Kelly, MANY Never-Trumpers have been brought into the administration. Trump's base who cares about #MAGA cannot afford another year of this

Story time, #emptythepews edition.

Warning: suicidal ideation, depression, conversion therapy, unsupportive parents, Christian fundamentalism.

You have been warned.

Story begins in the next tweet.
1: Once upon a time in the late 90s, there were common websites, basic cable and magazines that put out various hotlines you could call in a crisis. If not, there were search engines where you could find the numbers to places like BoysTown and the Suicide Prevention Hotline etc.
2: My parents were SUPER controlling. So much so, that we felt the control in every little way, and suspected other means of control that we did not verify until we had all moved out.
Raised in the QF/ATI-adjacent communities, you can guess at what levels there were,.

One of the most important offices in any state is that of Secretary of State, especially in swing states like Ohio where SOS’s have turned off voting machine audit functions, fought to keep machines paperless, & purged voter rolls. Pls support @KathleenClyde for Ohio SOS! 1/
