Dropped off my ballot yesterday. Just got the confirming text from the state acknowledging receipt and stating my vote will be counted. Proud to live in a 21st Century state, but also wanting to put it out there in case any local candidates want to stop mailing their glossy junk.

I like it, but think the writer is wrong that it would promote redistribution. The billionaires got where they are by manipulating the markets, and aren’t going to stop now. I would expect annual market shenanigans on Audit Day, both for short term losses and to pump up competitors.

They need to go far beyond that and be specific about reforms their party can enact if elected that will not only reverse Trump’s excesses but change the laws to prevent anyone attempting this again from succeeding.

Rented storage at Extra Space back in November. At $75/month it was a fair deal for the off-season holiday gear and some things going to the new place. Then their Market Price algorithm stepped in after 4 months and said $150/month. Space is tight but I'm outta there. Fuck the algorithms.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

This 1934 NYT article about a group of 75 Nazis in New Jersey getting the crap kicked out of them by 1000 “anti-Nazis” is no laughing matter and the writing is not highly entertaining. Please do not laugh or smile while reading this as it is a very serious matter and violence is not funny.

MOB OF 1,000 RAIDS JERSEY NAZI RALLY
Although the main disturbance occurred in the street outside the meeting place at 717 Lyons Avenue, another riot started simultaneously within the auditorium when the anti-Nazi group spread through the audience went into action.

THIRTY-FIVE ARRESTS MADE
, Newark Reserves Called to Aid in Quelling Riot Lasting an Hour and a Half.
Special to THE NST YORx TENES.
IRVINGTON, N. J., May 21.-A vicious attack upon seventy-five members of Friends of 'the New Germany as they arrived dressed in their blue uniforms to attend a Nazi meeting here tonight developed into a riot that lasted an hour and a half. More than fifteen persons were injured, two of them being taken to hospitals. Thirty-five were arrested.
The riot eventually involved more than 1,000 persons and was put under control only after three squads of
Newark police reserves aug-
mented the local forces.
The po-
lice used their nightsticks and the invading anti-Nazis utilized brick-bats, broomsticks, rocks and stench bombs.
Hundreds Greet Arrivals.
The trouble started when two buses containing a New York delegation of Nazis dressed in light blue shirts, blue trousers and puttees drove up in front of the hall to attend the meeting being held by the local group of Friends of the New Germany. As the buses ar-rived, several hundred persons were gathered in the street.
As soon as the first Nazi alighted a group of men in two automobiles pulled up alongside and launched the attack. This was the cue for a general free-for-all fight and the extra detail of Irvington police were unable to cope with it.
As the Nazis piled out of the buses to enter the combat they were pounced upon by the invaders.
Fists swung right and left, missiles flew and men, grappling in individual contests, rolled on the street.
When the Newark reserves arrived the fighting was at its height.

Although the police on the outside were forming their forces into flying wedges in an effort to break through the surging mobs, little impression was made on the uncon-

After an hour's battle outside the riot was considered under control and most of the police entered the building to curb the intermittent disturbances there.

Meanwhile the two bus drivers se-came alarmed, especially after some of the mob saturated their conveyances with stench bombs, and drove away leaving the Nazis stranded.
When the riot was over the police had seventy-five New York
