Vote out house republicans
Shh don’t interrupt him when he’s accidentally campaigning for harris here
Trump has already turned it down now
Let’s make sure it is. Vote, get active, get involved
More so helps motivate people to vote who otherwise migh not have done so
OP’s account has no posts but three spamming this “IQ testing” site
Note that the congressional maps don’t impact senate and presidential races* - only house and local races
See a lot of people claim it as a reason for apathy, but it’s worth remembering there’s still a lot of potentially winnable fights even in gerrymandered districts
* maine and nebraska are exceptions for presidential races due to splitting some of their electoral votes
Republicans want the entire department of education gone. It’s in project 2025, and they keep repeating it as she did right now
She then proceeded to say she was open to the idea “only if it was with the goal of phasing out the Department of Education as we tried to do through budgetary process in the first administration
They want to gut public education at the expense of anyone living in the US
Let’s make sure the ballot box reflects that. Vote, get active, and get involved. Even if you don’t live in a swing state, the down ballot races matter far more than you think
Reminder to make sure to vote in primaries and other lower turnout elections as they are more important than people realize
Primary challenges like this can determine what’s considered acceptable or not within a party. Vote in them to ensure transphobia is career ending within the democratic party
Reminder to always keep up the fight. Even when things seem inevitable, fights can be won. That goes both ways: don’t get complacent and don’t get despaired
Get active, and get involved

If we look at Bitcoin, for an example, we see that over 51% of block production is controlled by just two mining pools. That’s not limited to just Proof of Work mining either. Proof of stake sees centralization in staking pools as well. That’s only just looking at one aspect of the network

This has also lead to it being incorporated and dominated by the very financial systems it was initially supposed to move away from
I don’t want to type out an essay, but I could keep going on in other ways that’s not really lived up to its promises.
Raising the wage of 1 million contractors is not just words. Yes, we do need more, but don’t think it’s nothing
Part of the goal is to encourage their campaign to get more of a mastodon presence
Most of those claims about treatment of trans people are just false. They are primarily based on misattributed actions of other people which harris has denounced
Here’s a good article looking at just that
Not saying she’s perfect, but consider with the two party system in the US, the alternative is far far worse
Harris has generally pushed for minimum wage increases where she can. For instance

FACT SHEET: Vice President Harris Announces Action to Raise Wage Standards Over Time For More Than One Million Construction Workers
