We take voting seriously in our house.

Step 1: Look at a general site like Ballotpedia or a state newspaper to get a general a sense of candidates

Step 2: Reflect and share what we know through having listened to, read about, or contacted candidates (such as rigidly pro-gun stances).

Step 3: Comb through candidate websites, side-by-side.

Step 4: Discuss.

It feels so good to know precisely why we're voting for who we're voting for.

Tonight, a drag bingo event in #tennessee is raising money for my LGBTQ+ non-profit. I'll be registering people to vote, helping people verify their voter registration status, and helping them know where and when to vote... especially given we have been gerrymandered to the nth degree.

Simultaneously, my non profit is helping to rescue a trans teen (18 year old) who just graduated from high school and whose home has not been safe at all. We're moving him to a safe houseand we're getting him connected to resources, buying food and a phone for him, and helping him with getting employment. This is how I have been fighting back for many years. Every single step we make matters.

Looking over my #california #primaryElection ballot, there are 61 names of people running for Governor.

61 names!

Other than the pile of mailings I saved, there's no possible way I can have opinions about even most of them. Considering tossing a dart.

🚨 FAFO, BITCHES ⚖️

> Today, a coalition of locally elected district attorneys and prosecutors from across the United States have officially put the Trump administration on notice: any federal agent who shows up at a polling place in violation of state or federal law will be investigated and prosecuted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they act. And they will be jailed, if needed.

The announcement, made by the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach — “FAFO” — was first reported by Politico and comes a week after President Trump refused to rule out deploying ICE officers to polling locations during the November elections.

Local prosecutors warn Trump: "If you send ICE to the polls, we'll put them in jail."

A nationwide coalition of district attorneys has come together to protect polling places from federal agents sent to carry out voter intimidation.

If you don't vote in every single election... you're complicit. If you don't vote, you're exemplifying gross privilege. If you don't vote, you're giving up the only power we have left. If you don't vote, you are the problem... not the solution. If you don't vote, you bought into the propaganda that your vote doesn't count. If you don't vote... you suck. If you don't vote, you're hurting innocent people and that is your karma to pay.

Register to vote. Vote in every election. Go with friends... make it a party. Democracy depends on you. Otherwise we all suffer.
