I hope for the best for James to beat MAGA, and this is very kind of people to say. However, I have zero interest in working on campaigns. I love being fully independent. I only worked on Jasmine's because she is a friend, and I care greatly about her. This was a very emotional job for me.
And I would do it again π
I'm really concerned about what this voter suppression will do to voters in Dallas County. Paxton really created a huge obstacle for Texas Dems to overcome. It's hard to motivate people when the powers that be believe their vote won't count, even when they show up and wait for hours.
Not a final order, but it is interesting that Paxton only sued over Dallas County and not El Paso.
ATTN EL PASO COUNTY: A judge orders polls to stay open until 8 pm. If you are in line by 8 pm, you can vote!
Jasmine Crockett speaks about the voter suppression tactics being used today. A judge extended Dallas County voting to 9 pm today in an emergency order. If you are in line at your correct polling location by 9 pm, you can vote!
ATTN DALLAS COUNTY! A judge orders that polls are open until 9 pm tonight. If you are in line by 9 pm, you will be able to vote. But please check to see where your correct polling location is. You MUST go to the correct location.

@andybeshearky.bsky.social and I have different ways of talking to folks, but both are effective.
On my way to a meeting in the Senate office buildings, I decided to pop in and ask about ol' Mitch.
@bookersquared.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask members of Congress: why donβt they fix the health care affordability crisis? Here's what they had to say. #justfixit

Say what you want about Facebook, but the boomers over there are just as with the shit lol
I'm bad at keeping up with sites like Twitter and Bluesky. Threads is easier to keep up with thanks to the IG link.
And by deleted, I mean I deleted the app. That's why I don't engage on there anymore. I randomly upload content via browser just to keep my account alive and prevent others from impersonating me. But yep, this is the unfortunate path TT has taken.
This is true, and it hit Black political creators sooner. I got demonetized on TikTok back in 2023, and my views were suppressed (still are). I deleted TT in January w/ the talk of platform sales. I began focusing on growing on other platforms in 2022 and working hard to get sponsorships bc of this.
It was a gem of a discussion in the middle of chaos!
Run back! These people are crazy π

Idk if y'all can see what I quoted now that she blocked me, but she tried to insult digital creators/media and then said I couldn't pick out Lauren Underwood in a line up. Weird behavior.
Try again, Kerry, ya weirdo.
Then you should leave my page. I'm a digital creator, and that clearly bugs you, pumpkin.
Seriously, what is with the white people in my replies today?
Why are you putting work in quotes? Do you not value digital media, sugar foot?
In 2016, she was a child. In 2020, she was pro-Biden.
Nope, I'm not even in Illinois. Those of us who have worked with Kat at Democratic events are just excited for her, and we are trying to show support for someone who we respect and whose work we value.
So you don't follow Aaron Parnas' breaking news either?
This proves exactly what I said. She was a minor (and unable to vote) the first time Trump was elected. By the time she got to college, she learned how shitty Republican politics are. By the time she was 20, this is the kind of work she did. She has never voted for Trump nor campaigned for him.
She's Palestinian, first of all. Second of all, she was very publicly supporting Biden and fighting against GOP disinformation about COVID-19. I'm really not sure where you are getting your info from, but dropping a link may help. Especially since the pic on this post is 11 years old.
My hope (and expectation) is that she will lean into the kind of messaging that she does in her longer form content. She has a talent for talking about law and policy in an accessible way. Her Project 2025 videos were very good. But I agree, typical influencer style stuff won't win elections.
