With less than 21 days to go, I know we’re all riding the poll-ercoaster and feeling the anxiety that comes around every four years. 🧵 A thread of things to channel your anxious energy into:

Let's be honest: nothing anyone can say is going to relieve your anxiety over the election. You see good news, and you feel good. You see bad news, and it's back to square one. The best thing you can do is channel that anxiety into action. That's really all there is to it.

Unlike some other news organizations, we will NOT be silenced, not when everything is on the line for democracy The Philadelphia Inquirer endorses Kamala Harris for president. Use this gift link🎁to read why share.inquirer.com/W6IVlM

Are you a Washington Post reader concerned with today’s decision for the Editorial Board to not endorse a candidate this election cycle? Send a letter to CEO and Publisher Will Lewis and Editorial Page Editor David Shipley: bit.ly/3C0oLrx

If you're asking—"how could it possible be this close?!"—remind yourself that it was always most likely to be this close. And then remember that in close elections, your involvement helps determine the outcome. Think about what you can do to make it a good one.

Democracy has suffered and democracy will suffer more, but democracy is not dead. The fight for democracy continues if we continue it. We choose to organize. indivisibleteam.medium.com/democracy-is-i…

My post-election note. Short version: this is devastating. But Americans did *not* suddenly embrace fascism. Project 2025 is deeply unpopular. They want us to feel powerless. We're not. We have a choice: surrender or organize. I choose to organize. indivisibleteam.medium.com/democracy-is-i…

The people voted *against* the status quo, not *for* fascism. Don't do MAGA's work for them. Don't give them power they don't have. The overreach is inevitable. We can make the overwhelming backlash inevitable too. Join tonight's call for more: mobilize.us/electionrespon…

Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready. And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance. Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

“Freedom means you decide who you are, and then when things change around you, you continue to be that person. And in so doing, you do constructive work. You set an example for other people. You meet new people who are also trying to remain themselves.” msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

This broad, vague bill is an open invitation for abuse. Tell your representatives to vote NO on H.R. 9495. action.aclu.org/send-message/d…

🚨 TAKE ACTION: STOP OHIO'S ANTI-TRANS BATHROOM BILL. The Ohio Senate is expected to hold a floor vote tomorrow on SB 104 - legislation that requires students to use restrooms and other facilities that align with their sex assigned at birth. 📲action.aclu.org/send-message/s…

Y'all: these appointments were pre-destined. I know there's a lot to be outraged over, but pace yourselves. They want us freaking out about every broken norm. We can't be so tired that when it's time to truly mobilize (save the ACA, protect families...), we're too weary.

So Warren Davidson 🇺🇸 is always saying it’s not compassionate to bankrupt America, but now he’s voting to raise the debt ceiling because El*n Musk told him to? Wow.
