My wife and I are both IL election judges - and yeah, we use Dominion machines, and they're not connected to the fricken' internet. :)
Nothing has done more to restore my faith in representative democracy as when I register a new voter. I have trouble +not+ tearing up!
ScalziHello, Mastodonians of the United States. Today is election day in this country, so if you have not already done so, please go and vote. There will be people and things you will want to vote for, and possibly, people and things you will want to vote against. Don't let the polls close without you having been in them. Thank you.

RSF video investigation into the death of Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah in Lebanon: the journalists' vehicle was explicitly targeted
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has released a video reconstruction of the tragedy that resulted in the death of one journalist and the injury of several others. The initial findings of the investigation show that the reporters were not collateral victims of the shooting. One of their vehicles, marked "press", was targeted, and it was also clear that the group stationed next to it was journalists.
I have not seen a single reporter ask any rep who is supporting Jordan a question about electing a Speaker who has never authored a single piece of legislation that passed the House in his 16 years on The Hill. Obviously, I haven't seen every question, but it's not part of the horse race coverage.

BrianKrebsRecent weeks have seen a sizable uptick in the number of phishing scams targeting U.S. Postal Service (USPS) customers. Here’s a look at an extensive SMS phishing operation that tries to steal personal and financial data by spoofing the USPS, as well as postal services in at least a dozen other countries.
I like to show my work, and went pretty far down the rabbit hole with this one:
