📣 Californians, Prop 50 needs you. The organization whose mission to “protect and expand voting rights”’will passively watch from the sidelines while we fight to defend OUR VOTING RIGHTS on Nov 4. They changed their initial opposition to neutrality after being loudly called out. #YesOnProp50

This is the equivalence of those who decided not to vote in the 2024 elections, BUT WORSE. This time, America is at the edge of fascism and @lwvc.bsky.social thinks we need a fu***ng philosophical discussion. Moving from opposition to neutrality is not leadership, it's cowardice.

Why do we still allow people with serious mental illness to buy guns? Because the first law Republicans passed under Trump in 2017, made it easier. There were over 4,000 mass shootings between 2017-2024, and this country elected him again. If that’s not proof America is sick, I don’t know what is.
