Summary
Important reminder! Come join our phone bank Monday November 7th -- election eve! -- at 4pm EST with Indisvible for Mandela Barnes for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and to re-elect Lauren Underwood to the U.S. House in Illinois. One volunteer who attends Monday's phone bank will be selected to receive a signed copy of Sarah's new book They Knew and a Mr. Jones poster. Mandela Barnes will join the Zoom meeting at the start of the phone bank so don't miss it!
Sarah and Andrea were on MSNBC Sunday morning talking to host Ali Velshi about the far-right threats to our democracy and what must be done to protect our country from sliding into autocracy. You can watch the clip here, and RSVP to Monday's phone bank here!

| 0:00.0 | All right, everyone. Welcome to this incredibly important check-in with our Gas Lit nation community. |
| 0:12.2 | We know things are extremely tense and about to get even more tense as we head into the midterm elections. |
| 0:19.9 | And on top of that, all a dark Elon Musk backed by dark money in his ownership of Twitter is pedal to the metal, |
| 0:31.9 | firing people and trying to remake the site based on his own idiotic ideas. |
| 0:38.7 | It's incredibly frightening because Twitter is a place that we've all been organizing. |
| 0:45.0 | On Twitter, I united with strangers around the world to launch Digital My Dawn, a hashtag of the revolution in Ukraine. |
| 0:54.2 | We saw Digital My Dawn make a real-time impact. It started trending globally within a matter of minutes because so many people united to draw attention to Yada Kovic's riot cops beating and killing protesters in Kiev. |
| 1:07.8 | And it became this SOS hashtag and we organized so many fun razors and so many events fact checking the Kremlin disinformation war against Ukraine during Euro My Dawn, the revolution. |
| 1:19.8 | And not only that on top of that, when the Kremlin's war finally came to America in a really big way in 2016, I met Sarah. |
| 1:28.8 | We've been in the trenches ever since in the war of democracy versus fascism, which is the war of our lifetime right now and it touches everyone whether you want it to or not. |
| 1:38.8 | It's coming for everyone whether you want it to or not. And so here we are. So who knows what Elon Musk is going to do to it. |

| 3:03.8 | All the guards tech to our lives. We've had we've had enough. We want to stick with the one we've got exactly and gas. The nation is something that's near and did our hearts. So as the fascists keep coming for us, we're going to continue bobbing and weaving. Right. |
