Seemingly demure Chris is a quietly opinionated old hag who loves causing a stir. Her writing uses examples from her own life and in history in an effort to 'penetrate' and explore the inhuman, unequal nonsense surrounding us all. Left Twitter years ago.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

I sent identical messages to two Cornell University email addresses: • info@cornell.edu • trustees@cornell.edu I want them to know that even prospective international students (such as me here in Canada) are discovering the university's cruelty. Word gets around. #USDemocracy #MomSky
To: info@cornell.edu  Hello, I'm a Canadian student who sometimes considers returning to university. However, I will not be choosing Cornell because your university condones sexual predators by making them merely write an essay. The world is watching.

Immigrants with final deportation orders disappear from ICE detainee locator
The change will make it harder for many families and attorneys to determine where an immigrant is being held after being taken into ICE custody.

Reported assaults on Britain’s railways rise to nearly 25,000 a year
Unions say record high figures, including assaults on rail workers as well as members of public, show need for more staff and policing * Business live – latest updates The number of reported assaults on Britain’s railways has risen to a record high of almost 25,000 incidents in a year. Unions said the “horrendous” figures showed the need for more staff and policing, as the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) revealed a sharp increase in assaults on the travelling public and on railway staff last year.

Add "offended" to the list of Susan Collins' adjectives. (by the words of a twice-convicted felon, no less) No mention of 34-time convicted felons though.
Screenshot of text from Susan Collins interview:
"As someone who has always prided herself on serving with integrity, itreally offends me. And I'm offended for my staff too, both on the
campaign and in the personal office. So, shame on ProPublica for takingthe words of a twice-convicted felon over my office campaign staff and me - it's disgraceful."
