This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

This should become SOP even outside the usual cities; it’s immediately useful activism with a low cost of entry - and until they outlaw whistles, it’s very effective. If they ban whistles, fine. Air horns ahoy. (Yes, I carry a whistle in Seattle. Better to have it and not need it, etc.)

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.

It is said that nothing lasts forever, and often that is cause for sorrow and regret. But take heart, for it also applies to the reign of despots, to tyranny. They too cannot last forever, so let us usher in their end, let us outlast them.

Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to. The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time. I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Starlink's connection speeds drop below the federal definition of "broadband" at a density of ~7 customers per square mile, according to recent research. The more the customers in an area, the slower everybody's connections get. Data shows that 83% of US Starlink customers get sub-broadband speeds.
