And states that hate Black voters make it more difficult for them to get back onto voting rolls by putting in "Exact Match" restrictions. In the US we play this silly game where even when the GOP admits in writing that they are doing this on purpose, dudes still try to pretend that they don't.🤷🏿‍♂️

*sigh* It is a partisan thing. The people that do it, admit that it is a partisan thing. The purges are times to be maximally effective at suppressing the vote. Low income Black voters tend to move more frequently. And they tend to have different forms of government ID than wealthy homeowners.

Rank immorality as a public display. The last US public execution in Kentucky drew a crowd of 20,000. People were so debased by death as entertainment that they held 'necktie' parties the night before. Disturbed by that behaviour, authorities withdrew executions behind prison walls.

In a recent interview, Trita Parsi (Quincy Institute), podits that if Trump delays action against Iran until after the midterms, then Tehran has every incentive to strike first. Timing an oil shock and escalation right before the election could maximize Iran's leverage and make Trump look weak.

Dusting off slides from a decade ago about Russian information warfare definitions including "physical" interventions against data centres and communications hubs. It seemed to generate some pretty blank looks at the time.

In rural Wisconsin, politics is still about meeting voters. Online, it’s getting weird.

Rebecca Cooke is taking her campaign directly to rural Wisconsin communities, all while an AI-fueled online fight with her Republican opponent adds a distinctly 2026 twist to the race.
