The best primer on what Net Neutrality is and why it’s a BFD is John Oliver.  Send his explanation to your friends so they get why we must fight for a neutral internet that distributes information equally.

There’s a meme spreading fast through the tubes of the Internets about what explains Governor Cuomo’s refusal to debate Zephyr Teachout. Here’s one tweet:

It’s a fun way to be angry about the outrage of the Governor refusing to debate. But I don’t think this is really about sexism. It’s...

Stage 2 of the #MaydayPAC challenge — $5 million in 30 days — will launch at the beginning of June. We’re trying to find the best tweet for the Thunderclap. This incredibly cool tool lets you estimate which tweet would do better. Can you spare some cycles to use it to test your RT creativity?
