They're fixing to steal it.

Don't let them.

as i think about the piece itself i cannot find a way to disagree with the conclusion that the supreme court will look for any wedge or avenue it can take to give the election to trump if the opportunity presents itself.

Feeling my sanity slipping away as more and more (genuinely awful) stories about what Trump said or did accrues. Because:

HE PLOTTED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A VIOLENT COUP ON LIVE TV! HE ATTMEPTED TO END THE REPUBLIC! HE'S THE BIGGEST TRAITOR TO THE CONSITUTIONAL ORDER SINCE THE CONFEDERACY!

She rules, and her subject is delightful

Well done! Thank you.

If you’re planning to vote in the US General Election, it’s a good idea to double check your voter registration now! Sometimes registrations get “lost” 😬

DOUG SEZ:
Register to vote!
And even if you believe you are registered, CHECK your registration. There have been voter roll purges, and you may have been un-registered by some weirdo.

Please do boost this, or better yet, make your own voter registration post and get it out there!

I told you I stopped doing that. Mostly.

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:

go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

(3) Natural Disaster. - If a registered voter does not produce an acceptable form of photograph identification due to being a victim of a natural disaster occurring within 100 days before election day that resulted in a disaster declaration by the President of the United States or the Governor of this State, the registered voter may complete an affidavit under penalty of perjury at the voting place and affirm that the registered voter: (i) is the same individual who personally appears at the voting place; (ii) will cast the provisional ballot while voting in person; and iii) was a victim of a natural disaster occurring within 100 days before election day that resulted in a disaster declaration by the President of the United States or the Governor of this State. Upon completion of the affidavit, the registered voter may cast a provisional ballot.

The least of people's worries right now, I know! But an interesting note from Wake County Board of Elections member Gerry Cohen on X:

North Carolina's new voter-ID law includes an exception for voters who are victims of a declared natural disaster (as Hurricane Helene is). ncleg.gov/enactedlegis...

Ok, sarcasm and rage aside:

Biden’s DOJ just busted a police department in Mississippi for actions that might have made a Peak Jim Crow department blush.

Just flagrant harassment of Black citizens.

Trump’s DOJ will empower those dept, and Proj 2025 wants to target reformers who would push back.

Imagine what the second or third generation is going to look like after #UBI is instituted.

This is how you cover Trump. You report the news.

Public libraries in 'crisis' as councils cut services Deprived communities lost more libraries since 2016 than richer areas did, the BBC finds

A few points about public libraries:
1. Anyone paying council tax pays for them already
2. Are good value for money
3. As a source of unbiased information, they are a vital part of democracy
4. Essential support for literacy for adults and children

IMPORTANT: Check your voter registrations ASAP! Vote.org

I predicted this two weeks ago.
