Law enforcement warns of conspiracy-driven violence ahead of midterms

It's as simple as this
Wisconsin Democrats: If we can flip Wisconsin blue, we have enough seats to eliminate the filibuster and protect everything we hold dear — our abortion rights, LGBT+ children, our voting rights, our healthcare, you name it. Can you donate to Wisconsin Democrats and help them reach out to EVERY voter?

Nothing will change on climate until death toll rises in West, says Gabonese minister

Johnny Teague, an evangelical pastor and business owner who won his district’s Republican primary in March, published “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank,” a stunningly offensive novel imagining the famous Jewish Holocaust victim’s final days in the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps as she might have written them in her diary.

Today’s Action: Phone voters on your lunch hour to keep Congress blue!
With so many close races on the line next Tuesday, getting involved has never been more crucial. That’s why Activate America and Indivisible are hosting lunch-hour phone-banking sessions for Wisconsin Senate candidate Mandela Barnes and California House candidate Rudy Salas, two rising Democratic stars on the ballot this year. Salas stands a good chance at flipping California’s 22nd congressional district to the Democratic column, and a Barnes victory in Wisconsin would likely keep the Senate blue and knock out noted GOP coup-enthusiast Ron Johnson.
It’s clear that to hold the House and the Senate, we need progressives all over the country making calls for these candidates — no matter where you live. If you have been looking for a way to get involved, please consider lunch-hour phone banking for Barnes or Salas. The calls you make just may tip the scales in favor of reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, justice reform, etc. — everything we’ve fought so hard for!
Phone-banking is one of the most effective ways you can pitch in from afar. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional or a registered voter in any particular jurisdiction to join this fight. Just be ready to do good work!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to demand Fox News suspend Tucker Carlson for calling for violence against teachers and LBGTQ+ people, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
