At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

I don’t agree with Nicki Minaj or how she’s being used by the Trump admin to attempt to sway black women voters, but once again MAGA has reduced a woman to nothing more than “look at her ass” during one of the most consequential elections in American History. We are not okay.

They're straight-up white supremacist claims meant to undermine El-Sayed's Senate bid on the grounds that he lacks the intellect for the job because of his ancestry.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Rubio apparently forgot that his boss incited a deadly insurrection designed to overturn an election, and then he got re-elected president 4 years later
