I got out to #VoteBlueOnDayOne all the way down the ballot here in swing state Michigan, but the bigger headline is the "I Voted" stickers I got, which features this patriotic werewolf, as drawn by a Michigan schoolkid.

Getting out the vote on the Navajo Nation sounds like way more fun than the postcards and texts I've been doing. Where's my skateboarding and bull riding?

Even less fun is the phonebanking I'm about to start, but it's almost entirely leaving voicemails, and as a podcaster I am officially an expert in talking to no one. Play to your strengths, right?

This Diné leader is using horses to bring ‘the greatest Native turnout ever’ to the polls

Allie Young, 34, started the Ride to the Polls campaign in 2020 to register new voters in person and online

Handy and even fun, for US voters:
You put in your address, and it gives you a preview of the ballot you'll get on election day or when you vote early (which you should!).

You can click the boxes for your choices, then print or download a guide to take with you.

Really great for confusing ballot questions, judges you've never heard of, or in my case, navigating the 3 sets of university regents.

Your depressingly regular election-season reminder to confirm your state has not kicked out your registration for no good reason. Lotta shenanigans going on with this in multiple states.

You can check at www.vote.org, no matter where you live in the US. Takes minutes. If you aren't registered to vote, I believe you can find out how there, too.

And: why not find out when the earliest day you can vote is, and put that on your calendar?

How about that? Someone in the media finally realized it's been a century since the US-Mexico border was "open."

Having spent 5+ years studying immigration during my dissertation, this has been/is/ever shall be a huge pet peeve of mine. Also, y'know, it's a repeated lie in our public discourse that goes unchallenged...

Axios Explains: The myth of a U.S.-Mexico "open border"

By using the term "open border," conservatives are falsely suggesting that anyone can get into the U.S. without much hassle.
