The article from the tweet:
Canvassers for Elon Musk‘s America PAC say that they were flown to Michigan and told they had to meet unattainable quotas or risk paying for their own accommodations and travel home. Then they were unceremoniously fired after some of them spoke to the press.
The workers — many of whom are Black — told Wired that Blitz Canvassing, a subcontractor for Musk’s PAC, had them sign non-disclosure agreements and transported them to Michigan neighborhoods in the back of a U-Haul without seats or seatbelts. After Wired ran an initial story about their working conditions, the magazine reported that the subcontractor fired more than a dozen canvassers, leaving some without full compensation or transportation home.
One door-knocker told the magazine they did not know what they were signing up for. “I knew nothing of the job, or much of the job description, other than going door to door and asking the voters who are they voting for,” the unidentified worker said. “Then, after I signed over an NDA, is when I found out we are for Republicans and with Trump.”
The worker also said they were not aware of the billionaire’s involvement until they “overheard my supervisor and a few others mention Elon Musk.”

I actually can't stop thinking about how the losing party last election dressed like vikings and tried to break into the white house and the losing party this election are sharing suicide prevention hotlines

I'm sorry, I know how bleak it is, but Trump didn't win by like 70%. Almost half of the country, millions of Americans, did not vote for him. We need to reckon with how many stupid, ugly people are in this country. No doubt about that. But there are still so many of us who have only ever rejected him. Millions of people voted for a black, Asian woman. Millions of people wanted a better future and we must not allow people to erase us. We're Americans, too. We want the best for this country and we're better than they are.
Seriously, I don't want history to be rewritten. He didn't win by Obama numbers or Reagan numbers. It was like Bush 2004. Republicans only picked up 2 Senate seats in ruby red states and 1 in a swing state. The makeup of the House didn't change much, either. It was a loss for Democrats, but it wasn't a landslide victory for Republicans, either. It was enough to win, but I am not erasing the millions of Americans who rejected fascism and wanted to break the glass ceiling.

If are living in America and are wondering what you can do now please consider contacting The White House and demanding a recount / revote!
Check out the ALCU -> The ACLU is an organization that specifically fights back against harmful laws and bills - they fought trump off RAPIDLY during his first presidency and theyre overall good for keeping track of resources and stuff!
Ensure your vote is counted through Vote Curing!
Sign this Petition : Jane Byson (the maker of petition) ;
"We need a recount and revote for the 2024 election. An investigation needs to be looked into after Trumps sudden rise after all favor was pointed towards Kamala Harris. This isn't superstition when there was proof that she was in the lead. Something is wrong and the people of the US shouldn't suffer for it."
For those who are contemplating suicide or self harm consider contacting these Hotlines! Keep Fighting Please, and to those who have more resources PLEASE add on.
the link for the petition above is broken, but you can still find it by searching "Jane Byson" on change.org (the link didn't work for me when I searched through my browser either)

What’s also crazy is that the losses likely probably came from people whose only political view is that eggs are two expensive and they voted for a guy whose explicit economic plan is to intentionally cause a major depression

I'm gonna copy and paste what I said elsewhere:
Why is it when Republicans win it's never the fault of the people who willingly vote for them? When will they be scrutinized and held accountable? Where are the think pieces scolding Trump's base? When will we talk about the people who wanted this to happen?
Right now the only people I'm blaming are Trump voters. They fought their way into the driver's seat and now they're driving us off a cliff and there are no seatbelts

A reminder about the "red mirage:"
Tomorrow, early results will likely suggest that Trump is leading. This is not because more people overall voted for him; rather, because rural districts have smaller populations than urban or suburban districts, and they tend to vote red. Later, votes in areas with higher populations will be counted, and these tend to skew blue.
Trump will likely demand that the vote counts cease while he's ahead. Just remember where this is coming from: The man who said that we shouldn't test so many people for COVID so it wouldn't look like it was running out of control wants to stop counting votes so it won't look like he's getting his butt kicked.
he did it last time too
Washington Post had a solid graphic for this today.
Every state's going to have different time frames (Pennsylvania's likely to be among the worst) but this pattern is going to play out everywhere.
I've been sharing this with all my friends today. It's a very good thing to know about.
