The court didn’t grant our emergency request for X’s data on the #Germanelections (citing lack of urgency). While, we did not get the data, we cleared the way for others to get theirs. That is an important strategic win!

In the last minutes I've literally gone from 'concerned' to 'anxiously worried' about the state of our democracy. Also, it makes me want to tear my hair out.

It's like we are really great in sabotaging ourselves.
