Saturday morning reminder that while many of us may make this work look easy, it’s not. It’s day in and day out of grind, inch by inch progress, sometimes working for no progress, and often if not always seems impossible until it’s done (Madiba taught us). Don’t be discouraged.

Anyone else notice that the passport appointment website is down since at least yesterday?

OBVIOUSLY we should be concerned about people’s very real economic fears. Yet to act as if those fears are isolated from people’s consideration of social status and RACE is just bonkers. Bananas.

I need us to stop talking about economic policy as if capitalism in America has ever been disconnected from White Supremacy. #makeitmakesense

@michaelsorrell Just back to our regularly scheduled program of racism and misogyny + not enough time to campaign (age old arrogance showing its face in there too for good measure.) Saying a prayer and going to bed.

They went twice in person to try to rectify the issue in person at the elections office, and the power was out so they were closed 🤦🏾‍♀️ Whether incompetence or suppression, it’s disenfranchisement either way. 😡6/end

But no matter, no one CALLED or reached out to say we aren’t going to register you/we are cancelling your registration THAT YOU JUST ASKED FOR. Had they not followed up to check, they would have never known they weren’t registered.5/

Voter suppression is real. A family member moved back to GA. They registered to vote when they got their new license. After a while, they realized they hadn’t received anything in the mail, and called to inquire where her voter registration card was 1/

@kevincarey1 Really bad. Can’t believe it beat out other potential options for questions in limited debate time.
