With Kamala Harris likely becoming the democratic nominee this election, she'll need to pick a vice president. Some ideas have been floated around, but I think I have a winning choice. She needs someone who is articulate. Someone who cares about the truth. Someone with experience taking on pathological liars. Someone who could easily pass for 35. That's right...
HARRIS/BREWIS 2024!!!!!!!!!

Quote:
A MARTĆNEZ, HOST:
One in six eligible American voters now has a disability, and a third of eligible voters either has a disability or lives with someone with a disability. This voting bloc is growing as the population ages. That's according to a recent report by Rutgers University. It found that the total number of eligible voters with disabilities exceeds the total number of either Black or Hispanic eligible voters.

hey, so i donāt usually talk about this sort of thing on here and iām not the best with words, but i need to say this:
you, the person reading this, have to survive.
you are strong. you are so, SO strong and so extremely brave. donāt give them what they want. they want you to be afraid, they want you to give up hope, but you cannot give that to them. do not give them power over you like that.
itās only 4 years. that may seems like a very long time, but you survived his first term. you can do it again, i KNOW you can. and if his term somehow lasts longer than 4 years? i still know you can do it. will it be challenging? of course it will, but i and so many other believe that you can make it through to the other side.
take a break from the screens. go outside and just sit with yourself or invite your friends to sit along with you. spend time with your pets, indulge in your hobbies, or try something new. take the time to enjoy the little things in life. maybe reach out to a mutual youāve never spoken to or who you havenāt spoken to in a while.
just please donāt give up. donāt give up on yourself. donāt let that smelly old man have power over you as a human being.
please survive. i know you can. itāll be okay.
#graveyardtxt#u.s politics#sorry if this sounds repetitive or it just isnāt that great. i just woke up to all this#i wonāt post anything else today (maybe not tomorrow either)#but after that iāll go back to being as silly as i can to create a safe space for those who need it#just please donāt give up#the world fucking sucks rn. this election. the war. it all sucks#but you have to stay alive. there are people who love you so much

Yes and yes.

"The election is a necessaryā an essential ā crucialā but not sufficient, part of this larger project of fighting for everyone's safety, rights and freedom, now.
(And remember, if everything was actually hopeless, various forces in power wouldn't be working so hard to make you believe that everything was hopeless now. Ahem. With the election or beyond.)
To, uh, state the obvious:
So much has been broken for a long, long time, now.
It's beyond time for wide-ranging systemic transformation."

Hey, sorry I havenāt been on here much. Lost motivation (again) and then the election happened. Iāve been posting a lot of politics on main ( @rebootgrimm ) about whatās going on and what to do, so follow that. Iāll reblog the two posts Iāve made about it onto here for viewing purposes.
To my fellow pagans and witches, weāve survived persecution for centuries, we can do it again.

I love you all, we've got this, I've got you. If you're feeling helpless right now, examine what small thing you can do, right now, to help yourself or others. Drink some water, get something to eat, donate to a fundraiser. I am stubbornly picking you up out of the blood and grit and holding your hand oh so gently into tomorrow. The only way out of this is through, and we will do it together.

Got my voting done šŖ As for this stickerā¦well nice effort kid, but don't bother going to art school.
I know a lot of people have been pushing the early voting, but I didn't do that because the lines/wait times were longer in my city than they are on actual election day. My wait time in line today was likeā¦45 seconds. My partner who early-voted had to wait in line for over an hour.
All in all the process of going and voting for me took about 30 minutes. It was a long and confusing ballot with seven amendments and propositions on it. Multiple gambling ones, whether the total abortion ban should be overturned, a minimum wage raise, and some other ones.
On a different note, Republicans from both shitass Missouri and Texas tried to block election monitors from being able to check voting sites for compliance. They lost. But it did get me thinking about what they were trying to do with that.
I suspect it's more than just that they wanted to cover up election interference. I think rather that it was a move meant to demoralize people; to demonstrate such corruption and disregard for the democratic process that it would make people believe there is no point in showing up to vote because their votes won't count due to being lost or wrongfully disqualified.
In essence psychological warfare meant to discourage people. I'm not saying they *couldn't* be trying to cover up interference; they could have accomplished both with that move.

IMPORTANT - please reblog
The U.S. senate is conducting an outreach survey about pressing issues including ceasefire in gaza and funding for š®š±
Please take time to fill out the survey and spread especially if youāre living in the U.S.
note: (what is above was copied and pasted from this twt post)
something else, these questions are set up to be intentionally bias (you can see in the photo above) so please answer thoroughly and correctly!!
i don't trust the U.S government but taking this survey will give Congress an insight on peoples views on these events. As long as people are choosing the options that are opposed of being pro-Israel or bigoted i think it'll be fine (in theory)
here are two questions that are very misleading
as you can see they are trying to paint china's government and immigrants in a bad picture, hopefully anyone who is reading this understands that
1) the U.S government is using China's government in a way to look like they steal Americans information but in reality they don't care about our privacy. if they did, Mark Zuckerberg (owner of Facebook) wouldn't have several cases of taking peoples data and selling it
also that banning TikTok is not because of peoples information, it's about the fact that U.S citizens have an easier access to learn things that the Government doesn't want them to know and spread (e.g. Israel colonizing and commiting genocide on the people of Palestine) there is even a video of a government official talking about this (if I can find it I'll come back and link it here)
2) calling immigrants violent (probably referring to middle eastern ppl and muslims) is a way to convince people to deport them, obviously being xenophobic, and other stuff
if you can understand that these questions are bigoted and quite loaded it should be easy to understand which option is morally right.
at the end of the survey they will ask you what topics you care about and what Congress should focus on. don't leave it empty.
say something like:
ā¢ call for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza
ā¢ stop the funding of the illegal occupation of Israel
ā¢ hold big tech American companies accountable for using unethical Congon cobalt to make electronic devices
ā¢ literally anything important
putting one of these in the box before submitting will highlight that people want the government to call for a permanent cease fire and to stop funding Israel and etc.
sorry, this was a lot, I didn't plan to write this much out but I thought it was important to add additional information to inform people about the situation. hopefully this made sense!!!

One thing that frustrates me about news reporting on the Economy
The hang-wringing over how much people are using their credit cards to pay for things, and how the high level of personal debt is a threat to our economic future (Even though, by most of the traditional metrics*, the economy is doing better than it was expected to be, last year).
A lot of local, small, businesses (you know: the ones touted as being the "Backbone of the American Economy!!!") don't even accept checks, anymore. And it's not like you can pay with cash when ordering things online (which, as a disabled, mostly home-bound person I have to do), or stuff ~$75-$100 cash into your wallet when you go grocery or clothes shopping.
So how else are people supposed to pay for most things?
*Granted, those metrics have never been entirely fair or accurate. But it's frustrating when the very same numbers are used to praise, say, the G. W. Bush administration's record, but criticize and tut at Joe Biden.
