It just can’t be said enough that for months the federal government waged war on the people of Minnesota, kidnapping them off the streets, driving families into hiding, and killing 2 of people. And if you cannot call that out or state that clearly, you’re not one of us. You’re one of them.

Oh no your memory is correct - the abduction of Maduro in Venezuela was conducted from the same stupid place IIRC

So that’s not a SCIF, right? Like, they’re just doing this surrounded by a bunch of black curtains?

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

"Society oriented around ostentatious displays of (predominantly male) wealth that is built on an underclass that is kept out of sight in de facto slavery" is extremely attractive to the New Right for a lot of ideological reasons

You generally want surprise attacks to happen in the middle of the night.

Even Hegseth and Trump know that.

Somebody forgot to tell them that it needs to be night AT THE TARGET though.

What could be wrong with the government explicitly disfavoring institutions based on their core political speech?

"These institutions meet the following criteria: ... minimal public expressions in opposition of the Department."

This happens a lot:

Buncha posters: lol how much of a lazy jerk do you have to be to use this?

Disabled people and caregivers: please sir, could I have some more

Lots of people making fun of this, but as someone who showers a disabled person, this is a goddamn dream.

the media is dutifully reporting the "trump is unhappy with patel" thing as much as they did the "trump is unhappy with noem" a couple weeks ago. it's credulous and everyone knows it. if trump was genuinely unhappy with patel or noem, they'd be gone already.

most of my elections attorney career was the election workers very patiently explaining things to me and me being like "who knew?!!!!"

i feel like even well-meaning people genuinely have no idea what goes into adopting new voting machines and how long it takes unless they've seen the process like you did

really brings home that this isn't being brought to us by conspiracy theorists. it's worse, as it's being brought to us by conspiracy theorists who have never had the slightest idea how elections work and aren't going to start now

MN has a party balance rule - no more than 1/2 of judges at any location can be from one of the major parties and it takes months to recruit and balance what are we even doing here!

yeah, accuracy wasn't really a big concern. There's a quote from a big hand count booster in the piece: "So I would have had to add 450 and two, and it would have been 452 and I didn’t. I just forgot to fill it in. So I don’t really think that’s something that’s going to shut down the election"

Pea-brained Texas GOP wants to hand-count ballots Texas Republicans in at least a half-dozen are proposing to hand-count election ballots , reviving a right-wing, conspiracy-tinged idea that took root after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. In ...

Re: our possible brave new world of hand counts: Last year, I wrote about Texas GOP efforts to require hand counting. In a hand-counted GOP primary with 8,000 ballots, 12/13 precincts reported incorrect totals and 1 election judge miscounted in 7 races. Imagine doing this with millions of ballots
