OK everyone. Take a breath. It's time to fight like everything you have for democracy, because that's what's on the damned ballot. Are you with me to fight like hell for RBG's legacy? Then here's what you gotta do: (thread)
1/ @senatemajldr is a sniveling sack of hatred who is petrified to live in a world where he might be judged by the content of his character. Treat him with 100% of the respect he has earned. And not a penny more.
2/ Make this election a referendum on what he does next. Hell hath no fury like 150 million women scorned. And they were scorned when the Senate nominated Kavanaugh. This is worse.
3/ Every single Senator who is up for election in 45 days needs to live in fear that calling for a vote on a SC nominee would mobilize that anger. Call them. Text them. Email them. Tell them what you think, and do not let them ignore you.
4/ Every Senator who voted to confirm Kavanaugh voted for a man who was credibly accused of sexual assault. Who shed crocodile tears about a calendar. Who lied about "boofing". If all those cowards get for that is losing an election, they should thank us for our mercy.
5/ Federal election laws limit you to $2800 per candidate. Give as much as you can to ensure that every single one of those cowards spends the rest of their lives thanking us for not destroying the social safety net they will soon depend on.
9/ Sorry, I lost the numbering thread. My anger at @senatemajldr and his @GOP sycophants has gotten the better of me.
15 (Seriously: Daines should never again be invited to eat Thanksgiving at the big kids table for spewing garbage like this.)
16/ But all that is only the start. If you make every single cowardly @GOP Senator nervous, all you accomplish is keeping Trump's little Mitch from acting before 11/3. Then we shift to the lame duck.
17/ We will do EVERYTHING we can in the House. But a democracy-affirming majority in the House can only do so much to protect against a coward/grift-affirming majority in the Senate before January.
18/ So we'll need your help. Just remember that the overwhelming majority of Americans are good people. That's what scares the @GOP so much. It's why they're so petrified of a free and fair election.
19/ The proof is that the largest peaceful protest in our nations history was the Women's March. Which was subsequently exceeded by Black Lives Matter. It's time to top that. March peacefully, but march hard.
20/ Send a signal to the world that we are still the country of decency. Of democracy. Of equality for all. Of all that is righteous and good. But we will not sit down in the face of injustice. And cowards will be held to account. /fin
