A very merry @dropout Christmas to us 🎁💝 @JacobWysocki @dimension20show @samreich

FYI @journalsentinel @CapTimes @WiStateJournal @WKOW @WisconsinEye @wispolitics

Received this text yesterday (as did my husband). Deceptive much? Will likely affect low-info Democratic/liberal voters most. No org/name claiming credit for this, but I'd love to know! (Added some fact-checking to prevent more disinfo)

😳‼️

"Nearly 97% of voting-age American citizens now live in states that offer the option to vote before Election Day"

@taskmaster We need a @taskmaster / @dropout Game Changer crossover episode! Pretty pretty please? @AlexHorne @gdavies & @samreich - I want to see @BrennanLM et al on Taskmaster & @RealBobMortimer et al on Game Changer 🙏🏻

@samsanders @maura Oh no! Sorry to hear this news 💔

Second-to-last Into It episode. All about BRITNEY. Featuring the one and only @maura. It’s good. I promise! Listen here: link.chtbl.com/intoit?sid=stw

@m_scribe Thanks for sharing! This was a good reminder for me to get our plan in place!

Great points here + I do not dream of labor.

Relying on millions of voters - already overburdened by the pandemic & major economic stresses (let alone every other aspect of their personal lives) - to save our democracy over & over again, only for each to be only a temporary fix is really not that. And it's not sustainable.

@EliMcCann Smells a lot like the Hanna Rosin tweet about Fire Island failing the Bechdel test - complete miss of the spirit of the concept and unnecessarily divisive 😬
