Aside from the jack-booted intimidation campaign to keep us from... (voting?) Just the fact that there's STILL a fence around the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.

One of the goals of the orange Manchurian Candidate is to destabilize the US relationship with our neighbors. He's accomplishing Putin's mission pretty effectively, no?

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

It's happening. There seem to be growing issues with vote flipping. Double-triple check your ballot before you leave the booth. **If something looks even a little weird, CALL OUT FOR HELP.** One of the poll workers must help. Then calmly explain what you are seeing. DO NOT give up and walk away!

ICYMI, Mississippi's district maps were redrawn in 2022, then a fed panel had them redrawn again in 2025 to comply w/the Voting Rights Act. Then SCOTUS reversed that decision, allowing Sec of State Watson to change districts w/o the Legislature's input. buff.ly/E8wG9de

A new company's fake polls may have influenced campaign decisions & helped shape the #midterms narrative. Wedgewood Polls admitted faking its polling data. They were included by multiple credible polling aggregators including the NY Times. #SMARTelections buff.ly/0ryEroE

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Relatedly, don’t forget the father of Trump’s first wife Ivana, Miloš Zelniček, was a long-time informant for Soviet-era Czechoslovakian state intelligence (the StB). 50 years of history has shown us that with Trump and Soviet/Russian connections, there are no coincidences. Like, none. Ever.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”
