Just saw an ad while watching the #WSHvsPHI game. GMC advertising their Denali pickup trucks.

Are they going to have to rename them to McKinleyโ€™s now? /s ๐Ÿ™„

I see a new MAGA grift coming making new badges for all the MAGAโ€™s with Denali pickups.

Hi out there. Does anyone know any employment law attorneys who will represent black folks in Oregon?

I'm asking on behalf of my mom, who is currently going through hell at her job due to racism. The lovely, subtle type where they "manage you out" while they pretend to be reasonable.

Since we moved to the Pacific NW, it's been the same thing over and over again. It's tiring, and I want to fight back.

If you see this, please boost it.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.
Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for being an example of communicating without billionaires and US venture capitalists calling the shots. We're going to need more of this.

Like you, I've been absorbing the news today. As I write this, it looks more and more possible that the American experiment will end in January.

I'll be back tomorrow, but right now I just want to wait and see.

PS: To all the journalists who barely deigned to notice the likelihood that the next president would be an outright fascist โ€“ and did nothing to stop him โ€“ you have my contempt.

Essentials, November 6, 2024

Extremism won, and journalism helped On January 20, 2025, one of the supremely dangerous people in American history will re-occupy the White House, reclaiming all of the awesome powers of the presidency. Donald Trump and his extreme right-wing apparatchiks will issue a blizzard of executive orders, all designed to reverse

The cornerstone of democracy...

Good luck to all the people standing or sitting in lines in states where they don't really want you to vote, and make it as inconvenient and burdensome as possible. Thank you!

(From California, where we automatically get mail-in ballots, and where there are drop off ballot boxes in every neighborhood, or you can send it by mail, or you can vote in person today, like you have been able to for weeks).

#politics #voting

Via @tristansnell:

Remember for voting today:

- If you're in line, STAY in line

- Bring your own water and snacks

- Don't wear your #Harris-Walz gear to the polls

- If they won't let you vote, ask nicely to cast a provisional ballot - they are required to let you

Final note: I'm not American, I don't get to vote on Tuesday. But I get to live in the world the US election will create. As the hegemonic superpower of the day, everybody is going to be affected by this. Hence my concerns about someone else's political crisis.
@petergleick This goes for men, too. You can vote for Kamala Harris and nobody has to know that you are secretly a decent person that cares about democracy, women's rights, opposing racism and antisemitism, and generally just having a non-deranged person running the country. You can privately do the right thing and publicly let your beer buddies think you are still a total douchebag.
