In April 2017, I found Nazi graffiti on the playground in the park at the end of my street. As someone politically active, I called my police department to report a hate crime.
The local PD didn’t take me seriously. I called the mayor. It was resolved, but I realized to stay politically active it would be better to pick up the cowl, and @BatmanResist started.
During the #TaxScam build-up, I watched millionaires give handouts to their friends while average Americans would obtain no net gain.
I started posting on House GOP incumbents; major donors, phone numbers, and negative news. I keep adding more negative news to all the profiles.
I paired with @ScarletAvengers, who did an amazing job highlighting challengers to these incumbents, and together we built out a reference of every single GOP held district. It offers up a side-by-side comparison of what is, and what could be.

We use this reference to create accountability and call out lies; ensuring their donors couldn’t justify the cost of the fight.
