BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.
Please ❤️ and share if you support this idea!

Dear dozens of new economic populist members of Congress,
You’ll face fast pressure to deliver economic results. How to do it? Subpoena CEOs. A shocking amount of time, they'll change what they are doing long before you pass a bill or actually cut off their federal funding. So:
- Subpoena Google for cramming AI down our kids throats. Threaten to amend the FAR to prohibit contracting across the U.S. government with any company forcing kids to use AI.
- Subpoena the private equity managers enshittifying hospitals, dialysis centers, your local vet, your local primary care provider. Name individuals, not just companies. Shame them. Show the public (and public pension funds) how they make their money.
- Subpoena health insurers who use AI to auto-deny valid claims, triage mental health emergencies, or upcode diagnoses. Make them stop that.
- Subpoena the airlines for systematically denying cash refunds to travelers. (“Here’s a voucher instead!”) Show your hand – threaten the subpoena now, before Thanksgiving.
- Subpoena Brazilian meatpacker JBS for literally anything. For child labor, for getting fat and rich off of cattlemen, for making their workers work so fast their hands curl into claws, for persistent hygiene allegations.
- Subpoena corporate landlords. Show the public how they get rich off of hidden fees and not fixing their apartments.
- Subpoena any company that has been slow to issue tariff refunds to small business owners. I bet they’ll get their checks a lot quicker!
Will it work? See what happened when Instacart was exposed as secretly marking up your grocery cart... Yes, it can work.
P.S. If anyone tells you “No, you can’t do that” or “No, there’s a process for that,” ignore them. You know what time it is.

Starting our day the Kaikai way!
If you ever wondered what a happy elephant looks like – look no further. Our little ray of sunshine shines her emotions with every peppy step and swing of the trunk.
Kaikai (and her sidekick Bungalu) are two of the youngest orphans in our care, and they are here today because of supporters like you. Both will have a home with us until they are ready to reclaim their place in the wild – a process that may take upwards of a decade. By adopting, you support their journeys and receive regular updates on their progress.

Take a good look at Renee Good's boy.
He did not deserve to have his mom's brains blow all over her partner. And Trump doesn't give a fuck.
We need a real investigation into Trump's ICE thugs murdering Americans, and that comes with a massive #BlueWaveIn5Days

⚡️⚡️⚡️ WHO IS PAYING FOR THE AI BOOM?
Big Tech Giants gets massive data centers.
Developers get huge tax breaks.
YOU get higher electric bills — while your community's water supply is contaminated AND gets almost NO say in the deal.
This is becoming one of the sleeper issues of the midterms. And once you see your utility bill, you’ll understand why, yet #RepublicansLoveDataCenters more than they love you.

Can any of the anti-fraud Republicans tell us:
-Who owns the offshore account in Qatar that holds $400M in seized Venezuelan oil money?
-What happened with the $1B sent to Trump's "Board of Peace"?
-Who owns the Qatari gifted Air Force One?
-Why more than 50 people who received pardons did so after major donations to Trump or major partnerships with his family's businesses?
-How much public money has been spent at Trump golf courses?
-Who front ran market moving announcements on the war to the tune of more than $20B?
-Why public contracts are going to businesses of Trump allies and cost more than 10x the normal rates?
If not, maybe it's time to shut the hell up about corruption.

Texas women are forced to deliver dead babies.
Texas women are forced to carry non-viable fetuses.
Texas women are now unable to conceive due to sepsis.
One woman was forced to carry a baby, missing much of its skull, for months just to bury it.
Some women had fatal fetal anomalies and yet were still denied abortions.
Some had their water break too soon and were turned away from hospitals.
Women are dying because hospitals continue to deny them simple procedures that would save their lives.
Texas has enacted some of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws.
Women are suffering, Ken Paxton doesn't care and Greg Abbott doesn’t care.
We should all be tired of Republicans using women’s bodies as political playgrounds? Vote for @jamestalarico @GinaHinojosaTX #DemsUnited

In the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues.
Today it is the genocide in Gaza. What's next?
If they can silence one artist, they can silence anyone.
Stop conflating the Israeli government and it's army with the Jewish religion. It's not the same same fucking thing at all.

While active border construction has been paused in Big Bend National Park, the bulldozers are plowing full-steam ahead in other parts of the Big Bend region.
We are urging the federal judge to step in and stop construction across the whole Big Bend Sector while the court considers the merits of our case. More truly irreparable damage is being done out here every single day.

A wire snare had tightened around the left hind leg of an adult female buffalo at Hippo Point, Naivasha.
Our SWT/KWS Rift Valley Vet Unit reached her and removed it. Fortunately, the wound beneath it was not yet too deep. After cleaning and treatment, she has a good prognosis for a full recovery.
A buffalo is one of Kenya’s most formidable animals. But a thin loop of wire doesn’t discriminate – it can catch anything that crosses its path.
Our thanks to KWS, whose partnership ensures our veterinary teams can reach wildlife in need.
