In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.

This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline.

An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION.

Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

snow is so wonderful and magical when it's happening to other people

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

that’s right

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Maybe Gorsuch could have thought about that before casting his vote for presidential immunity.

Donald Trump illegally stole your money.

He should give it back to you.

Instead Trump is scheming up new ways to force Americans to pay even more.

Donald Trump illegally stole $1700 from you is a gift midterm message.

The DOGE cuts to USAID and other programs are causing mass death, and yet the debt is still shattering records.

The deranged old man stroking out is funny, yes, but don't skip the legit important point that his entire foreign policy agenda (not to mention much of his domestic) is premised on his ability to impose tariffs unilaterally and unconditionally and now every world leader sees this and thinks "lol"

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

You should not be working on the railroad all the live-long day, nor should you be working on the railroad just to pass the time away. You should be working on the railroad for the duration of a reasonable shift, for fair wages.

This is horrific. I have spent time with people who entered as refugees in the last admin and the fact that the state is pursuing them when they came here hoping to finally escape that is sickening.

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

Kid 1 has started getting into music recently, so I’m getting them a cheap USB mp3 player and plan to pre-load it. It’s basically a giant mix tape, and I’m having a good time brainstorming and narrowing down what to put on there. 🎶 🎵

Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

Abuse isn’t enough, they have to silence kids too:

“They threw away all my drawings,” said 15-year-old Cariexis Quintero… . Her mother, displaying a pile of colorful paper scraps, detailed how the guards “stormed into her room looking for drawings and letters” & then “destroyed what they found”

Adults at ICE concentration camps also get punished for talking with people on the outside who can publicize their stories.

Based on what I've heard at the Otay Mesa camp in San Diego, they're punished with additional work duties, aren't allowed outside in the yard, and denied phone access.
