Been seeing reports of ballot destruction, so PLEASE if you already submitted a ballot use the link here to access tools to make sure your vote is counted!

Please be careful to vet the Palestine victim information you share or post right now. There has been an uptick in AI generated images and stories attached online posts about Palestine right now. It is very likely that there are bad actors posting rage bait to sway left leaning voters against the Democratic candidates which we have seen in the past. I know no one is thrilled about the state of the "left" in the US political institution but this election is critical and they is almost certainly manipulation going on to sway people into either voting right or not voting at all to allow the right an in to turn the US into an theocratic nightmare. Keep Palestine on you mind, but please be careful in what your sharing to not propagate the propaganda any further.

"voting makes you complicit in US war crimes"

that's not how anything works. if you live in the US, if you pay taxes, if you are using a cell phone, if you drive or ride in a car, if you own anything with a rechargeable battery, you're technically complicit in war crimes.

not voting for Harris is, in effect, a vote for Trump. (mathematically you could argue it's half a vote for Trump but that's still voting for Trump)

I heard a National Parks employee a couple weeks ago say he wasn't sure the National Park Service could survive another Trump presidency. Federal agencies across the government are racing to get money out the door before January - EPA climate justice grants. USDA grants to Black and Indigenous farmers. immigration courts are racing to process as many citizenship applications as possible before January.

They're doing this because they know what will happen if Trump is elected again. We all know. Because we've done this before. There's no "he's just saying stuff he won't actually DO anything" this time around.

Not voting does not keep your hands clean. Not voting is not a principled stand for anything. If you have the ability to vote and choose not to, you have if anything increased the amount of blood on your hands.

So, not my state right now but I just spent 6 years there, Utah is banning books left and right. They've decided that they can ban anything "pornographic or indecent" which they've decided applies to many books that talk about LGBTQ+ topics but of course does not apply to any religious texts. They also just passed a law that says that the government cannot and will not do anything for DEI. Now public schools and employees cannot do anything to help excluded or protected minorities (I mean ANY minority - race, socioeconomic background, ability, religion, sexuality, you name it) if anyone can say that help is targeted. They can't even talk about or post educational materials, even if they are about women's history or black history. I don't know if you can see how backwards it is to call Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts exclusive and unfair. Thousands of students in Utah are going to go without help, and it already has such a high rate of suicide among LGBTQ+ teens.

This is what radical Republicans will do if they hold power. They do and will restrict education. They can and will do everything to make a white Christian population comfortable and ignore everyone else.

Please get out and vote this November. Boot them out.

"if voting worked they'd make it illegal"

meanwhile, in the real world:

i make a lot of posts to the tune of "you're allowed to be horny btw" because it's becoming increasingly clear that adults being sexual in (clearly marked and blockable!) spaces is being stamped out and made out to be evil both legislatively and in the moral zeitgeist, especially among younger folks. not even in the "wait to be a horny adult online when you're An Adult" way, just an ingrained puritanical outrage response to *anything* that isn't chaste wholesome perfect all-ages allowed. it's unnerving and scary.

I didn't know predstrogen or her blog but that doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you. if they came for her they will come for you. if you're not trans they will come for you when they're done with them.

hate doesn't start and end with one target, it morphs and amalgamates until no one is safe, and it lashes out a lot.
