Mail-in ballot protections, once bipartisan, have become a GOP target in their war on voting. Now, a Republican challenge to mail ballot grace periods has made its way to SCOTUS; but I will be there to defend it and continue the fight, Marc Elias writes.
16.11.2025 20:30 — 👍 325 🔁 108 💬 10 📌 4This is an abomination of a period in American history. It's heartbreaking to know that not only are true patriots standing up for the foundations of democracy subject to ugly verbal attacks, but that the wellbeing of your family has also been at risk. Deeply grateful that you continue to hold true.
16.11.2025 20:31 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Nearly a decade ago I had to explain to my young daughter and wife that we were about to be broke because people were determined to prosecute me and then fire me from my teaching job. They, and other family members, encouraged me to keep speaking out.
That was separate from the death threats.
Do you think this is real or AI, Claude? Having once been 'mugged' by a wild deer for a Snickers bar in my pocket, I can imagine it might have been drawn to sugar in the drink. So, possibly not AI? www.facebook.com/reel/2359655...

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.
Russia is continuing its war against Ukraine, bombarding Ukrainian cities and killing civilians. Front-line coverage is getting more dangerous. Ukraine fatigue is growing while Russian disinformation is on the rise.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

Academia is under assault right now by the right. And some institutions, I feel, are bending to that pressure. Inviting individuals from conservative think tanks, like Pielke Jr., is one way that some universities are attempting to demonstrate how balanced they are,” Mann said. “But there can be no balance between science and antiscience, between whether the Earth is round and whether it is flat.”

Then, back to pleasure travel 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto, 2 in Hong Kong, 2 in Bali, and a tad in India. Those were the days.

As a hedge fund owner, Scott Bessent avoided over $900K in Medicare taxes by exploiting a major loophole.
As Treasury Secretary, he now oversees the IRS — which has backed away from closing the loophole since Trump took office.
The foxes are guarding the henhouse.
The cruelty is the point.
Instead of ensuring families are fed after he refused to fund SNAP, the Trump Admin is doubling down on the harm.
They are actively trying to make it harder for people to put food on the table. It's shameful.
I forgot that we also had a 3 day jaunt into Canton. This was only a few months after China had opened again to the West. It was really shocking by comparison with Hong Kong at that point in time.
