Drive some folks to the polls. Help whoever needs your help.

It’s just 37 days till the midterms. The only way to replace Dobbs with nationwide codification of Roe is to vote Democratic for both House and Senate and to get all your friends and neighbors to do the same.

Retweeting this because...read the first paragraph. Democratic systems of government are vulnerable to demagogues because we, the people have the power, and can be misled by "despotic" and "desperate" men. Happy Birthday Hamilton.
