Weekly Check In November 19

[tanaqui]

This week, the comm has been about tax cuts and elections, and celebrating a year of thisfinecrew.

Posts this week

Companies still advertising with Hannity -- hit Republican enablers like Fox where it hurts.
One year of This Fine Crew -- feel free to add more suggestions for the future of the comm. (Your mods are currently discussing the ones that have already been made.)
Tax Plan -- now with added Obamacare repeal (and an attack on abortion rights.)
Tell Congress to Reauthorize the Voting Rights Act -- link to a petition and starting point for taking your own actions.
Alabama Senate Election: Poll puts Doug Jones ahead of Roy Moore by 12 points -- links to donate to Doug Jones' campaign in a race that's closer than anyone expected thanks to the Republican candidate being truly scummy even by Republican standards.

Also, as a courtesy to other members, if you're making a post about sexual abuse or sexual harassment, please put any details behind a spoiler cut.

Housekeeping (the usual stuff)
Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.

As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.

Also if you need help with tags, PM redbird, who is our tag guru. Both tassosss and I are very grateful for the help.

So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?
