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
The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform said on Saturday.

* 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

Not OP, but as someone who was at one point excited by the potential of crypto, the ecosystem has moved more and more towards what it claimed to stand against initially
It’s supposed to be decentralized, but things like mining pools have lead to heavy amounts of centralization in block production. 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.

It has also not really been seen as a currency. People’s view of it as an “investment” which have the opposite qualities you really want to see.

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
Harris has generally pushed for minimum wage increases where she can. For instance

Unlike a certain rich republican candidate who has misused funds, the money goes to their campaign not the person themselves
US elections certainly takes way more money than it should but until Citizen United gets overturned, donating is an unfortunately important part of elections for those who can afford to do so
It’s vote and build pressure. Doing only one of those will leave you in a bad spot
Not voting will leave you with republican who wants to bulldoze gaza and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Who’s former white house advisor thoughts about the war was how gaza’s waterfront properties were economically valuable. Who’s planned response to peaceful protests is to deport US citizens protesting
