This is a national emergency. I’m not kidding. https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1294353994215821313

1. Call your representives in Congress. Stick firecrackers under their chairs etc
2. Commit to voting as early as possible if you vote by mail.
3. Tell everyone you can think of what is happening.
4. Include this as a major demand for the ongoing protests (see next tweet)

The ongoing BLM/police protests have a goal that should not be co-opted. But saying “the people who hate BLM most are explicitly trying to rig the election and if they get away with it, they will *crush* us without mercy” seems like it dovetails nicely with the overall goal

5. Younger, less at-risk, people need to volunteer to manage polling places on Election Day. A lot of seniors who normally do it are justifiably freaked out. Doing this for them is the same as wearing a mask. Civic duty time.

6. Union leaders/members need to discuss what strike actions look like.
7. Journalists need to cover this as a MASSIVE ONGOING SCANDAL with a monomaniacal focus usually reserved only for stories about electronic mail server protocols
