Hey, everyone. Many of you have been sharing "Lawyer, Passport, Locksmith, Gun" a lot more recently...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ihrGNGesfI

... a few folk have inquired about whether I can add transcription/subtitles to that whole talk for greater accessibility.

So now I'm asking: do I know anyone who does this as a service and would you like to hit me up with your rates and availability?

(NOTE: i'd prefer to give my money to LGBTQ+ folk right now, so please feel free to specify that if you're OK with doing so)

This is the most unhinged thing I’ll see today.

California voted to keep slavery in their prisons. In 2024. This happened.

In a world where enough women are searching “can my husband find out who I voted for” to make it trend in search engines and social media, there should never be a question again about the value of and right to end-to-end encrypted and private personal communication.

Please don’t buy your shipping supplies from Uline. Our cats will be just as happy with boxes from another company — one whose profits aren’t spent funding election deniers and fighting against unions, abortion rights and marijuana legalization.

Some of us have known about Uline for a long time, but this will be new to others:

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Who are America’s real swing voters? @damemagazine’s Parker Molloy says that it might be “left-leaning voters who are just about ready to walk away from the political process altogether” — and there’s a lot of them out there. What’s the first step to engaging them? Understanding what most voters DON'T want. “A study by Harvard’s Shorenstein Center found that 2020 election coverage was mostly horse-race nonsense, with barely any attention given to the policies that actually impact people’s lives,” Molloy writes. “When the media treats elections like a reality-TV show, it just reinforces the idea that politics is disconnected from real life.”

The Real Swing Voters Aren’t Who You Think - Dame Magazine

While the media is busy obsessing over the mythical “swing voters” who supposedly can’t decide between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, there’s an equally significant—and just as important—group of voters they’re ignoring: left-leaning voters who are just about ready to walk away from the political process altogether. These people aren’t wrestling with a choice between

Our World in Data continues to role model effective data communication. I'm so jealous of this piece.

Retoot if you agree the US needs to stop arming Netanyahu to bomb Palestinian civilians.

I want to follow as many people as I can who share this belief in basic human decency and international rule of law. We must stand united for justice and on the right side of history.

I wrote about this issue here: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/breaking-biden-sent-netanyahu-35b

BREAKING: Biden Sent Netanyahu $3.5B in Arms—Today He Killed 100 More Palestinians

Legacy media and the American people must hold Biden accountable to his words—and VP Kamala Harris can lead the way
