This is why Trump is so desperate to stop mail in voting. #ProtectTheVote
We have to keep fighting Trump's SAVE Act - it's voter suppression on steroids and the GOP knows it. They see the blue wave coming and they know the SAVE Act is just another way they can rig the midterms in their favor. #ResistTrump
It's one of the reasons Trump wants us to get used to seeing ICE, the National Guard, and other heavily armed military police on the streets - so it will be easier to deploy them once he falsely declares that the 2026 midterms were fraudulent and tries to cancel the election results. #ResistTrump

We need to overwhelm their racist voter suppression with a wave of progressive voters voting 👇 "SCOTUS's latest bigoted blow to the VRA could cost 19 Black lawmakers their seats over the next few years, the Congressional Black Caucus says, but the group is fighting back." Read here: bit.ly/4ff1aFh

“It needs to be emphasized again and again: What is happening is an assault on democracy, and they’re using the easiest vector, which is anti-Black racism, because it’s the easiest thing you could do, the laziest thing you can do." Read more here: https://nyti.ms/4v3fV2i #ProtectTheVote
FACT: #AutomaticVoterRegistration could register 50 million new eligible voters while making voter registration rolls more accurate, saving money, and cutting down on confusion and other problems at the polls. And that's exactly why Republicans hate it.

Vote by mail obviously depends on the USPS running effectively. Republicans want to suppress votes, so dismantling our mail service to interfere with elections is pretty dastardly -- yet the media treats the sabotage like it has no connection with overt GOP fascism. Please connect the dots.
In a letter, ranking members on the House Oversight and Administration Committees slammed Trump’s fascist efforts to undermine voting rights 👇 Read more here: https://bit.ly/4u0uTG2https://bit.ly/4vX58Z5 #ProtectTheVote
