Tweet from Mike Bloomberg...



This November, the stakes are too high. My presidential campaign is over, but I’m not about to sit on the sidelines. That’s why I’m supporting Collective Future in registering 500,000 Black American voters in 8 crucial states. This can be a game changer. https://wapo.st/2Iz9W0g

getting Trump out of the White House. It would be nice if Tom Steyer and other Billionaires/Millionaires could join him in this effort.

don't want him (or any billionaire) as president, but if he's willing to do as the many right wing billionaires are...well, that's great.

but that is apparently true. and i always trusted him to keep his promise. there are many bad things you could truthfully say about him, but i havent heard anyone call him a liar, or say he broke a promise.

a lot of his money in '18 went into voter registration. obviously he is going to do that again. but i hope his data op is good enough to spot voter suppression. there is evidence out there. we could be looking at provisional ballots, and going back to those voters to find out why they werent given a ballot. we could trace back our voters who had polling place issues, and make sure they know when they get fixed. that is the kind of gotv that we, sadly, need for this f'ed up system.

i have been so annoyed at the dem party for not calling this shit out harder. every time they point to wi and mi, they say blacks didnt turn out. why dont they realize that they did, but they were blocked at the polls one way or another? i throw things at my teevee.
that was how the vote was changed in '16. dem voters were blocked. hard.
we need to be out in front of it. way out. cuz that is what it is all about.
