If you can vote early - by mail, drop box, or in person - it’s time to get out.
If you have family or friends who need a hand getting out give them a ride.
If you have people in your life who don’t vote, let them know that unless they get out they may not have another chance.
Let’s do this.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her.
