Team,

ASMR refers to calming sounds that trigger pleasant sensations.

Over the past few years the genre of ASMR videos has exploded with content creators taking their own creative spins on the subtle sounds that induce feelings of ASMR, releasing videos with titles like:

KING CRAB SEAFOOD BOIL| ASMR EATING

ASMR Finger Nail Tapping for the BEST Sleep 😴 long nails, no talking

Relaxing distant ASMR Race Car Sounds

Donald Trump’s White House released a cruel spin on this lighthearted genre, with a video (more akin to a snuff film) titled, “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.”

In Trump’s ASMR, the silly taps of nails on a venti starbucks lid, are replaced with the jangle of prison shackles. Subtle whispers are replaced with the whir of the deportation plane engines. And the sounds of careful paper tearing are instead the muffled footsteps of a deportee whose entire life has been uprooted.

It was an incredibly disturbing watch, but also a reminder of who we are up against and the duty that now falls upon us to silence the sound of these prison chains with action, to do everything in our power to stop the cruel machinery behind this suffering.

Given that there are 217 Republicans and 216 Democrats in the House of Representatives, I am doing my part to gum up the works by running in the Florida Special Election as the Democratic nominee - if I win I can deadlock the House and paralyze the MAGA agenda.

This race is our last chance until the 2026 midterms to stop the passage of this unimaginable cruelty through Congress. We have less than 40 days until election day - will you stand with us and make a donation -- split with iVote Fund -- of whatever you can spare to help us put an end to this?

iVote was created in 2014 with one goal: secure voting rights for all Americans.

Rather than take on challenges in the court after unfair laws have passed, iVote plays defense on voter suppression efforts AND goes on offense to secure and expand access to voting.

Going on offense is critical. We have the chance to elect Secretaries of State that will protect our elections for years to come. But Republicans are already suppressing and blocking certain citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

DONATE

We need a massive coalition to register new voters and protect our right to vote in this election and beyond.

We know you get a lot of emails, but it's only because this fight is so important. We need you to stick with us long term. But if you must go, you can unsubscribe.
