⚠️ In a blow to mail voters, a Wisconsin judge won’t let people who fear Postal Service delays cast provisional ballots. With USPS pickup and delivery slowing significantly nationwide, voters whose ballots arrive too late could be disenfranchised through no fault of their own ⬇️

In blow to mail voters, Wisconsin judge won’t allow provisional ballots for people fearing Postal Service delays
Wisconsinites who vote by mail will effectively be disenfranchised if the U.S. Postal Service doesn’t deliver their ballot by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Does the man who wants a panopticon fascist future HAVE to look just like the Johnny Cab robot from the movie about a panopticon fascist future?
Image from the movie Total Recall, showing a robotic, fake looking "Johnny Cab" bust figure plugged into the driver seat of a future cab with Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting in the back.  The "Johnny Cab"'s face looks like Peter Thiel in the bland vacant 50's stereotype of a white man way.

What’s funny is that it’s really easy for a Congress member to find legal ways to use taxpayer money to help themselves win reelection. You have to go out of your way and deliberately try to do it illegally.

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP
