@FlashMobOfOne @tofugolem Voting often results in things you don't notice in your own life. But it was voters in 2016 who created the condition in which rights that I had during my life were taken away from my daughter and granddaughters. And only voters can change that back now.

Alerting the World to RT’s Global Covert Activities

"RT moved beyond being simply a media outlet and has been an entity with cyber capabilities. It is also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement. These operations are targeting countries around the world, including in Europe, Africa, and North and South America." https://www.state.gov/alerting-the-world-to-rts-global-covert-activities/

I have never put my name on a petition because for decades I knew that what is happening now would happen. Never put your name out there. Never put your face out there. All that's now coming to pass was predictable.

Ultimately, Russia was behind Comey's last-minute hatchet job on Clinton's campaign. What is Russia cooking up to help Trump this time? Don't fall for it, no matter what it is, and vote. #HarrisWalz2024

@darnell@one.darnell.one @darnell@flipboard.com Hmmm I wonder how much Home Depot's prices have increased since January 2020 and what sort of pay and bonus increases its board garnered during these years. Just a thought.

CNN's little meter at the top of the page "Fear and Greed Index" I haven't seen before, I thought it was interesting and probably an oversimplification that CNN things readers will like.

@MEActNOW Here's an article on this with links to help Texans check & fix https://www.dallasnews.com/news/elections/2024/08/05/texas-voter-suspense-list-tops-21-million-heres-what-to-do-if-youre-on-it/

@cbarbermd I've searched for any source of this information and only found one post on threads but no news stories. The post on threads cited no source. Here's some info on what the winners will get, for gold an athlete can win $50k this year. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/16/sport/olympics-athletes-compensated-medal-spt-intl/index.html

Tim #Walz said that when he signed the school lunch bill he was at an elementary school, in a classroom, and he was explaining to the kids what it meant. He said "now all your friends can eat." And they mobbed him because they immediately knew exactly what it meant and why it mattered. That's the backstory of the ecstatic photos with the kids. You don't need much more than that to know why you should #VoteBlue. Bringing back the joy. #HarrisWalz2024

So Harris/Walz are going on a whirlwind tour of battleground states. Meanwhile, JD Vance only will be appearing in the same cities, while Trump has only one event scheduled in the coming week, in MT. Is the Trump campaign trying to minimize him because he's such a fucking soup sandwich spewing insane, dystopian gibberish?

Aug 16 begins the process of figuring out which crimes in the insurrection - election interference case the corrupt #SCOTUS won't put its weight on the scales of justice to help Trump again, if any. #traitor https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-sets-aug-16-hearing-trumps-federal-election/story?id=112537104

Chutkan: Trump was not charged simply for challenging election results – but instead for “knowingly making false statements in furtherance of criminal conspiracies and for obstruction of election certification proceedings”. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/04/trump-election-subversion-case

Ban assault weapons. There should not be one house in the country in which an angry young man can access an assault weapon so he can take as many people out with him as possible. There should not be any way for him to find one at home, or for him or his parents to buy one from a store or gun show vendor. This country needs to be rid of these weapons. #Harris2024

This discussion about how Dems have been "obeying in advance" by not running anyone in so many red and/or rural races across the U.S. is something I've been complaining a lot about in AL. Hey, we finally ran a Dem in my state house district this year who was for once not a nutjob, who ran on abortion access, AND SHE WON. The Dems have got to stop leaving these areas fallow. Love this podcast. @lolgop #democracy #VoteBlue https://www.patreon.com/posts/weve-been-in-109382170

@HistoPol @heidilifeldman Really needs a graphic designer, the ones submitted so far are...well I don't have a way to make it sound like they're ok. They're just not very good and you can tell it's just people puttering with software.

@thomasfuchs Is it dead? Good!

When you see the word "privatize" just think "extract wealth by choking public good to death"

“This is the first case of rustrela virus-associated staggering disease that has been identified outside of Europe, so it is the first case identified in North America ... There have been reports of similar disease syndromes in domestic cats previously in North America but we are not sure whether or not those may have been associated with rustrela virus.” https://coloradosun.com/2024/07/18/colorado-mountain-lion-staggering-disease-first/
