American History, 2124:

“And that’s how a racist comedian’s reprehensible joke about Puerto Ricans ended with the island protectorate becoming the 51st State of the Union.”

DeJoy says what now? #Vote early(er)!!

NEW: The USPS recommends voters mail their ballots by tomorrow, October 29, if their state requires mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day. The postal service says it will continue to deploy "extraordinary measures" to accelerate election mail.https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/usps-voters-should-mail-ballots-by-tuesday-for-delivery-by-election-day/

Democracy Docket
I checked today, after seeing that ballots in another district were lit on fire, and my ballot was accepted. #election #ivoted

Someone just came by my house and tried to collect our mail-in ballots. They said they were representing a local democratic politician, and said that they would deliver our ballot for us. We asked for his identification, which he gave, and any sort of identification showing he was with who he said he was with. And he supplied all of it.

And we still didn’t give him our ballots.

I don’t know if this guy was legit or not, but there’s no fucking way I’m taking a chance with this election.

BREAKING: The Washington Post is changing their tagline from "Democracy Dies in Darkness" to "We Make Sure Democracy Dies in Darkness." 😐

Posting this tonight for no particular reason:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."

Two more LA Times editorial board members resign after the paper withholds a Harris endorsement https://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/article/two-more-la-times-editorial-board-members-resign-19863296.php
It's quite hard to look at the current situations with Musk and Twitter, Bezos and the WaPo, and the LA Times as anything other than evidence that the extreme consolidation of wealth is itself a grave and direct threat to society
#Pennsylvania Young voters you can still vote.

To even begin to attribute anything positive to Hitler is to lend humanity to someone who had none
