Curtains. He cares about curtains.

He enjoys cruelty.
That simple.

AK-47, stylized, image centered. Caption: "you can give peace a chance, I'll cover you if it doesn't work out."

Correct. They could have easily waited until school was out.
The school getting blown up is either evidence that they didn't care, or that they actively want to kill civilians.

Nasty little transphobic troll.
Blocked.

Houston school takes down Ramadan display after moms group complains "Imagine walking into school for 'Go Texan Day,' and this is the decor that greets you."

Apparently, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Easter decorations at this school are ok.
Ramadan decorations, not so much.

It's probably frontotemporal dementia.
The parts of his brain that handle impulse control (the frontal lobes) are basically getting eaten away.
So whatever evil shit lurks in his fantasies will now be acted on.

Before that.

I wish all the worrying I do would actually make horrible shit less likely to happen.

When he's sundowning, correct.

Yep. That guy is amazingly crooked.

We should use the vote and peaceful means, first.

If they fail, our path forward is extremely ugly.

Civil war would result in an estimated 90 million Americans dead or displaced.

That sucks.

As someone who MIGHT seek asylum in Canada if it comes down to saving my life (because 🏳️‍⚧️), I would be happy to help fill up a town.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

How did I read Operation Epic Fury as Operation Epic Fuckup?

Not unless we pressure the hell out of them.
Going to have to disagree with you on the numbers.
I think 20% is such a huge hurdle that we might as well not bother.
It needs to be a credible threat.

I'd love to see Jasmine as state Attorney General, just sayin'.

1. Well, what do you think is an appropriate threshold? Keep in mind the threat needs to be a very actionable one.

2. Congress is deeply corrupt, and part of the idea of being able to call a special election is to keep them in line.

I don't think it would be quite that easy to get 0.75% of the population in registered voters to sign.
For instance, IIRC, the U.S. population is at 330,000,000.
To force a recall election of the president would take 2,475,000 confirmed signatures of registered voters.
Not easy.

🤣

there is no one who cares more about your genitals than Nancy Mace

I'm female, if non-binary.
I've been told I was too angry by a manager when I asked an obnoxious guy coworker to please be quiet so I could think.

Obnoxious coworker was practically hysterical, screaming at me, and I couldn't think.

(Manager didn't actually see me at angry, that was annoyed.)

Constitutionally, states run elections.
RN I'm glad of it, as it makes them more difficult to rig.

However, the US government could mandate universal mail-in ballots as a requirement for the states.
It would be helpful.

You have to be older than 65 or disabled to get a mail-in ballot in TX.

I voted yesterday. They had separate machines for GOP primaries.
I think I saw two Republican voters, vs about 75 Dem primary voters.

Ok, so, for the general?
There should be a voter helpline you can call to get the address of your polling location up in Dallas.
There's one down here for Harris county.
The county system here showed me where to go, the state system didn't seem to be working correctly.

Honestly?

1. I think it would ideally be a constitutional amendment.

2. I think the justice department needs to be under direct and complete control of Congress.

0.75% as in,3/4 of 1 %. I'm dyscalculaic.

I originally thought 1% of any given electorate, but then decided that was too high a bar.

Nathan Jun (@nathanjun) I am not stating this as factual. It’s a hypothesis. But I can’t get it out of my head at this point.

Interesting hypothesis.

If 0.75% of any given representational district's registered voters signs a petition of no confidence, a special election is called?
