If you haven’t seen this yet, you really should. John Oliver lays out the stakes, with a US legal system dangerously infiltrated by the Trumpist far right.

John Oliver discusses how Donald Trump has impacted our federal courts, what he could do if reelected, and how Judge Steve Harvey fits into our judiciary branch.

Honestly, Harris/Walz is going to have plenty of cash.

Want to make the most difference and shock the GOP like we did in 2008?

Let's flood a bunch of cash down-ballot.

Some historical context for the press:

Economy when Reagan-Bush ran Morning In America reelection ad:

• Unemployment 7.3%; Inflation 4.3%

Economy today under the Biden-Harris Great American Comeback:

• Unemployment 4.3%; Inflation 2.9%

The thing about when Trump isn't campaigning is that he's living in a business that charges people a six-figure membership fee just for access to him, the most corrupt thing any ex or current president has ever done. He's wholly normalized it so much that it never gets pointed out.

I just got back from visiting Yosemite National Park (my first time in 16 years of living in CA). We camped at nearby Camp Mather and on Tuesday we decided to bike to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir to see where our drinking water comes from. At the entrance to the park, we were charged $300 to enter the park on our bikes. 12 adults and 3 children at $20 each.

As we were trying to negotiate with the rangers, a massive 10,000 pound Ford F-WTF with 4 people in it entered the park for only $35.

It is obscene that the @NationalParkService is subsidizing road destroying, forest-fire accelerating motor vehicles and giving the finger to anyone who chooses to visit our national parks sustainably by walking or biking.

Colbert: The Memeification Of Kamala Harris | Colbert Is Brat | Trump Struggles To Attack Harris

The internet is exploding with memes referencing the Vice President, Jake Tapper aspires to be as brat as Stephen Colbert, and Donald Trump can’t seem to land a blow against his new opponent in the presidential race.

THING TWO: Write some postcards to Michigan
https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/628704/
Postcards to Michigan · Mobilize

Sign up now to write postcards to rally Democrats to vote in Michigan on November 5! Writing postcards with us is the most effective action you can take from home to help elect a Democrat to the Senate and re-elect President Biden. Once you sign up, we'll mail you free postcards along with voter lists and instructions with proven message options. You'll provide the postcard stamps and mail the postcards in October on the instructed date. Please spread the word so that we can reach our goal of more than 26 million postcards across 11 key states! Our research proves that our postcards will add more than 130,000 votes, which is three times the number that decided the outcome of the 2020 election in favor of President Biden. Polls don't vote! We have the power to determine the outcome of the election in favor of democracy and a future with restored rights and economic opportunity for all. Our postcards will help elect the Democratic leaders we need at every level of government, from local and state races up to making sure that Donald Trump does not regain power.

NY Times Editorial Board: "Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. ... He is, quite simply, unfit to lead." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/11/opinion/editorials/donald-trump-2024-unfit.html
Opinion | Donald Trump Is Unfit for a Second Term

He failed the tests of leadership and betrayed America. Voters must stand up to him in November.

Vast deportation sweeps will slash employment for US workers.

Mass deportation policy under the Obama Administration eliminated 8,800 US jobs per 100,000 immigrants deported.

Primarily by causing reduced business formation & more business exit.

Bike parking: build these. Just these. That’s *it*. These stands can accommodate any type of bike. And you can lock the frame to them.

Don’t build ones where only the wheel goes in. Don’t build anything where the mechanism can go wrong.

I know this is boring. But IT WORKS!

Edit: to those going “they can be cut and taped and bikes stolen” - I know. Do I care? No, not really. Tell me a type of rack that can’t be cut with an angle grinder!
