"I think a lot about the early days of some of the worst atrocities our world has ever seen.

When ordinary citizens went about their lives, their neighbours were rounded up.

Maybe they didn't fully understand the extent of what was happening, but they were starting to. They still had their voices, but did not use them.

By the time enough of them understood, it was too late. If they had all stood up, all spoken at once, it could have been stopped."

Donald Trump’s vanity projects expose something deeper

Early this morning, dressed entirely in black except for a pair of crisp white golf shoes, the President of the United States walked slowly through the rain to tour his latest construction project: a public golf course. Standing between him and the cameras during this presidential "executive" time was a member of his heavily armed security detail, watching over as the president reviewed architectural renderings, discussed renovations, and oversaw yet another taxpayer-funded vanity project. From there, his grand tour of Washington, D.C., continued from one renovation project to the next. After inspecting plans at East Potomac Golf Links, his motorcade eventually made a stop at nearby Lafayette Square, where reports say that he personally inspected trees and made demands to have exactly 47 of his favorite maple trees planted to commemorate himself.

As the 2024 election approached,
advertisements began popping up in key swing states suggesting local officials had discretion not to certify elections.

The advertisements were misleading.
Certification is not optional,
and officials are required to certify the vote once the proper process for any election challenges are complete and an official challenge is complete.

The warnings, nonetheless, arrived at a moment when Donald Trump and allies seemed to be gearing up to contest the election results if he lost.

New documents reviewed by the Guardian show that the group behind the advertisements received financial support from a non-profit linked to prominent election deniers with ties to Trump.
The same non-profit, the
❌ Foundation For Accountability Integrity & Research In Elections Fund
❌(Fair Elections Fund),
also paid influencers to promote an anti-voting bill in 2024.

#Cleta #Mitchell, a lawyer and longtime ally of Trump who assisted his efforts to overturn the 2020 race,
and #Heather #Honey, a researcher known for misleading election analyses who now works in the Department of Homeland Security,
are both listed as directors of the fund, which was incorporated in Delaware in 2023.

Honey’s appointment to an elections role at the DHS last year has caused considerable alarm among voting rights groups,
who say it places an election denier in a powerful government role.
Before she was in government, Honey produced misleading research that Trump has cited to undermine confidence in the 2020 election.

She has falsely claimed, for example, that there were more votes in Pennsylvania in 2020 than there were voters.
Her appointment comes as Trump and his administration continue to sow doubt about the integrity of American elections,
making baseless accusations of fraud without offering substantial evidence.

There is still concern that Trump could deploy the powerful machinery of his justice department and other government resources to contest the result of the midterm elections this year.

I am a huge silent hill fan, so when it came to what I wanted to draw today, the answer was clear: heather from silent hill.
The other page was left a bit more up to interpretation, so I decided to go with a muscle character, just for the fun of it.
