🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨

Trump’s FCC Chair just unveiled his plan to kill #NetNeutrality & the open internet.
washingtonpost.com/news/the-switc…
Here’s what you can do to fight back & save #NetNeutrality:

Step 1: Make a call RIGHT NOW to your member of Congress. BattleForTheNet.com/?org=dp
More than 40,000 people have already called today. Congress must act NOW to stop the attack on #NetNeutrality.

So, @AjitPaiFCC was all over TV today smugly celebrating the repeal of #NetNeutrality. But the reality is that he's going to lose. The battle for the free and open Internet rages on.
#SaveNetNeutrality

1st, contact your representatives at battleforthenet.com.

#NetNeutrality is NOT "dead." Yes, the FCC's disastrous and unpopular repeal officially went into effect today, but it's not going to last. We're fighting in the courts, in Congress, and at the state and local level. And we will win. #SaveNetNeutrality
Don't panic! The Internet isn’t going to come to a crashing halt. You won't be cut off from your friends. But starting today, your Internet provider is legally allowed to mess with you in a bunch of new ways, and it's only a matter of time before they do. #SaveNetNeutrality

THREAD: At 3pm, the Senate will vote on a resolution to block the FCC’s #NetNeutrality repeal and restore basic protections that prevent companies like Comcast and AT&T from censoring online content, slowing down websites and apps, and charging expensive new fees.
Our work for Internet freedom will continue long after today, but the outcome of this vote will affect the battlefield that we are fighting on for years to come.
This is the most important thing for everyone to understand: we’re facing off with some of the most politically powerful corporations in the world. We’re fighting an uphill battle. But in the big picture, we are winning on #NetNeutrality.

What are some things that Democrats like me believe?

Democrats believe we are stronger when we have an economy that works for everyone—an economy that grows incomes for working people, creates good-paying jobs, and puts a middle-class life within reach for more Americans.
We believe that today’s extreme level of income & wealth inequality—where the majority of the economic gains go to the top 1% & the richest 20 people in our country own more wealth than the bottom 150 million—makes our economy weaker, our communities poorer h our politics poison
And we know that our nation’s long struggle with race is far from over. Race still plays a significant role in determining who gets ahead in America and who gets left behind. We must face that reality and we must fix it.

Washington state will act under our own authority, our own laws and our own jurisdiction to protect #NetNeutrality for all of Washington's citizens.
We will stand up for innovation, stand up for consumer, and protect an open internet.
While the @FCC will throw down roadblocks, Washington will be the first state in the nation to proactively protect net neutrality, and we're going to use every tool in our toolbox to do so.

Unlike @AjitPaiFCC, I’ve led teams creating innovative new tech on the Internet. Everyone who’s done so knows that killing net neutrality is bad for society — not just because it harms tech innovation, but because it compromises our civil rights.
And Pai's history on this is clear — long before "fake news" became the tactic for undermining trust & accuracy in the public sphere, he was undermining researchers who were trying to prevent the spread of fake news: washingtonpost.com/opinions/truth…
And just like Pai favors policies that promote fake news and misinformation, he favors policies that favor fake competition amongst media and internet companies — locking out upstarts, consumer-friendly companies and activist voices.
