The US very clearly needs a federal law that prohibits voting rule changes the year of a presidential contest.
The only reason for such rule changes is corruption. It's clear #election tampering.

Kamala #Harris isn't the "least bad choice."
She's the *best* choice, probably of your lifetime, maybe ever.
Just because she's not your very own special whatever-the-fuck-you-want doesn't make the above less true.
This is politics, not your dating-life, forever-house, BFF, or fantasy world.
@FlashMobOfOne @BrianJopek
You didn't just "both parties" this, did you?
No, homeslice, that ain't it.
The Dude abides with 60k of us white dudes for #Harris
@aral
I read "Kitten" as "Biden" and was like "dude, I don't think he can do that but also that's a very specific ask we're just trying to fight fascism here."
When #Trump said "In four years, you won't have to vote again" he meant exactly what it sounds like.
There's no need to look for excuses or tortuous interpretations: the packaging says "fascism" and, sure enough, when you open it up, it's fascism on the inside.
Hey #Olympics Mastodon, if you haven't heard about the Seine protest, you should have: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PAWbcIyirzo
My girlfriend, a 43-y-o white woman who lives in Phoenix isn't super plugged in to politics
She's smart, professional, belongs to women's leadership groups, etc
Yesterday, she said, "I don't really know much about Kamala #Harris "
She'd never vote for #Trump , she just doesn't follow politics closely
I sent her this video. She watched it and was thrilled that THIS is the presumptive candidate
"I'm voting for her!"
That's all it took to get her enthusiastic. Use it
Whenever #Trump says he doesn't know anything about #Project2025 , remember that he also said he didn't know anything about payments to Stormy Daniels.
Oh, here's a list of people Trump claimed not to know, with photos of him with those people:

Arizona Voters!
Go here to register to vote. You need to do this if you've changed address, name, etc.
You have until October, but it takes 5 minutes, so do it today:
@br00t4c
Gonna be Shapiro, Kelly, or Cooper...
It's all swing-state calculus, and yeah, white men are easily frightened, so they'll have to give them someone who looks like a person they know... a friend.
I like Kelly: Astronaut; military; Gabby Giffords' husband; in my state. Good hashtags there. All-American boy stuff
Thanks for the boost, Paul Cantrell @inthehands

Right now is the time you ignore #polls and pollsters.
ALL of their data is based on "what if Kamala #Harris ran?"
All of it.
Even in stable times, polls typically measure attitudes. That isn't an accepted methodology in the social sciences more generally.
You MUST ask about actions for valid data.
Example of an action: $84 million in small-donor contributions in 24 hours.
Listen to that. Polls are going to be shit data for weeks... maybe a month.
Even they know it.
Reminder that when Kamala #Harris was the DA of San Francisco, she formed a special unit to prosecute hate crimes against #LGBTQ people and increased gun-control policy in the city.
Keep that in mind when someone calls her a "cop."
Will the NYT run an article tomorrow on how old #Trump is?
Every single story about #Trump "doing well" or "getting a victory" (because a judge he appointed dismissed a case, for example) is intended to dissuade you from voting.
Ask yourself this question: "Does this story about Trump or Biden make me feel hopeless because it seems obvious Trump is going to win?"
Oh, it does? Who benefits from your hopelessness?
The next time someone tells you a sniper could reliably hit an ear with any weapon at any range ask them how they'd control for ballistic variance of the ammunition...
Don't go in for conspiracy theories. They fall apart at the mildest push.
Even match-grade ammunition can have 3-5% energy variance, round-to-round.
Trained snipers are aware of this. It's not the movies. No one takes that shot.
Occam's Razor. Kid who was part of Trump's violent cult took umbrage. Perimeter security was lax.
I don't think there's much controversy in stating that the guy who shot #Trump -- a registered Republican and White male Christian -- was the product of the GOP's culture of violence.
He's everything they want him to be,
EXCEPT he didn't shoot at Joe #Biden
People are hard to predict... difficult to "program."
If he'd shot a "woke" Lefty, he'd get the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment...
Chaos is tricky though. People are complex. Maybe the culture of violence angle is the wrong approach.

"Mr. Musk has volunteered his sperm" is a very gentle way to write "employer tells staff to use his jizz to populate Mars."
By granting #Trump immunity regarding official acts, #SCOTUS has decided that even Hitler couldn't be prosecuted for his acts.
That's not hyperbole. Hitler acted according to the law.
SCOTUS has decided that the American presidency is the office of top mafioso, full stop.
The Founders, for all their shortcomings, aren't rolling in their graves; they're puking: A president is now a monarch.
