The texts from Elon Musk's super PAC arrived last week, all with the same message to a group of Colorado voters: "Your ballot request is in," they read. "Confirm now where and when to return it." But every active registered voter in Colorado automatically receives a mail ballot, and the message from Musk's America PAC set off a flurry of calls and emails from confused residents to county offices. https://cnn.it/4hZg2Ya

The National Guard is NOT blocking people from dropping ballots in DC, despite misleading posts from several large creators on this site. The National Guard was pictured near ballot drop boxes the day before they opened for votes to be cast. They are not intimidating. They are not there now. Stop spreading disinformation.

Good morning everyone! One quick note: I’m in DC, and there is no issue accessing ballot boxes. No one is stopping you. I have not seen National Guard near any of them. I’ve seen the picture floating around but just want you to know that here in DC, there’s nothing and no one stopping you from voting.

The Trump Administration wants you to see images of the National Guard near a ballot box so that you don't go and vote. Don't let the images intimidate you. I have spoken to dozens of DC residents over the past 24 hours, visited numerous ballot boxes, and can report there are ZERO issues. Make sure to vote.

Last month Krasnov dispatched Kushner and Witkoff to Kyiv to pressure Zelenskyy to give away Ukrainian land to Putin. Zelenskyy refused. Then Krasnov spoke with Putin by phone. Now Krasnov is going to send money to Putin so he can continue his war. Russia Russia Russia was not a hoax. It was never a hoax.

Here is every time Trump said that no one should buy oil from Russia:

Them: "Are you voting straight Democrat?" Me: "No, I'll vote for the queer ones too." 🤘😉🤘

When Julius Caesar was 25, he was traveling to Rhodes when he was kidnapped by pirates and held for ransom on the island of Farmakonisi. The pirates wanted 20 talents of silver for ransom. Caesar sneered and said they had no idea who he was and they should raise their demand to 50 lol. They did. Caesar assured them the ransom would be paid and that he’d return after he was freed to crucify all the pirates. The pirates thought that was hilarious.

Every now and then I remember I am one of the creatures currently alive on Earth and I get way too excited about it. Like YES. I MADE THE CUT.

Whining about deserving the Nobel Peace Prize while greenlighting a public execution is the most insane character sketch I’ve ever seen

Just a quick reminder that President Dump promised his "uh, excuse me" health care plan, a "full and complete" health care plan, "within two weeks". On July 19, 2020. On Fox News. 2,273 days ago. Over 324 weeks ago. Maybe he forgot.

It’s happening. Filming if you see it.

Why aren’t playing these clips of Trump, in his own words, as primetime commercials 24/7?

🔥 @angieforfl: “Let’s talk about the Black Panther Party…”

Everything a president says is serious!

Most gracious God, if we wake tomorrow only to get our theology wrong, let us err entirely on the side of love. May our greatest fault be that we gave people too much room to breathe, offered grace too freely, and tore down the cages of empire. You are neither intimidated by our deconstruction nor unsettled by our doubts. Catch us in the holy wager of Your boundless mercy, and let us sleep in the liberating peace of being fiercely loved. Amen.

Your vote is an ICE whistle. Blow it.

Captain President and Commander Shannon of ComicsPRO with their heroes, Judey and Kathy of thinkingbinc BINC has helped The Captain and crew immeasurably over the years, so think of the good work they do when you’re considering adding to our Dan Loose Change Fund at the counter. #wearecomicspro

A former CIA official just pled guilty to stealing almost $200 million in taxpayer dollars. Hardly a peep from the media. But a single mother buys candy with SNAP and Fox acts like it’s the heist of the century.

I just saw a quote that said “The rise of women does not mean the fall of man unless men were standing on the backs of women to begin with”

She's right all of these people that are allowing all these data centers to come in the back door handouts and the ndas. They know what the constituents want they know what their communities want and yet they're going against them anyway.

EVERY AMERICAN THAT LOVES THEIR FAMILY, PLEASE LISTEN

I dare you #justify #that

I cried. Idc. This was touching. We can choose hope. 🥹🥹🥹

A nursing home in Kansas went from a 75% food dissatisfaction rate to almost zero complaints after @craigbowerson took the time to get to know residents, listen to what mattered to them and even bring their family recipes to the menu. It’s a simple reminder that being seen and heard can make all the difference. 👏

Brilliant video from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly talking about her "constituent" Zach Lahn, the Republican running for governor of IOWA who actually lives in Kansas. One of the most brutal political owns I've ever seen. Kudos to all involved.

OH MY GOD WOULD EVERYONE FREAKING OUT ABOUT WHAT TRUMP’S SURPRISE IS GONNA BE JUST WORK TO GET OUT THE VOTE?! MARGINS TOO BIG TO RIG Y’ALL. DONT OBEY IN ADVANCE. THEY WANT YOU TO THINK YOUR VOTE DOESNT MATTER, DOESNT COUNT. SCARING PEOPLE IS A VOTER SUPPRESSION TACTIC.

The Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering teams at Wizards of the Coast have just announced they're unionizing. In a letter of demands, the union has urged Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast leaders to stop pushing generative AI. https://bit.ly/4hMhPzG

Pneumonic plague is NOT the same thing as pneumonia, for heaven's sake. They share the same Greek prefix for lung, pneumo. All of my 7th graders would have known this. Education matter, dear people.

Just for context, the American President who mused about “taking out” millions of Americans in LA and San Diego demanded that a person posting a photo of seashells spelling out “86 47” be prosecuted.

Just bought SIX audiobooks for less than $30 total during the @librofm sale! Very happily supporting indie bookstores instead of Amazon! Several we don't even have copies of in my library's Libby! Woo!

While produce is still fresh this season, consider canning some for the pantry. Even if you don't want to delve into pressure canning (required for safely canning low-acid foods) there are LOTS of things you can water bath. 🍅 Tomato products like salsa, chutney, ketchup, and plain tomatoes for cooking. 🫙Jam, jelly, and other fruit spreads. 🥒 Pickles. Low acid foods like green beans and cukes can be processed in a water bath IF they are pickled in a vinegar brine.

Four weeks from tomorrow Ohioans will elect a new governor. They will choose either a woman who, as a public health specialist, has saved countless lives and protected children, or a charlatan who always has put himself first and has no idea how to swing a baseball bat or lift up a child.

If you're 60 or older and money for groceries is tight, ask about the senior food box (CSFP). It's a USDA program: a package of food each month. Age rules differ by program; this one is 60+. The income line is 150% of poverty, about $1,995 a month for 1 person (48 states + DC). That's a limit, not a payment. The box is food, not cash. On SNAP, SSI or Extra Help? Your state may skip the income test. It's free. If slots are full, ask for the waiting list. Source: 7 CFR 247.9

Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello, Nathaniel Rateliff & Dave Matthews singing "Fortunate Son." I love it when the Tr*mpers refer to Bruce as a washed up old man lol. He turned 77 less than 2 weeks ago, and can still rock with the best of them! #PowerToThePeople

My son got a $500 check from the government today. Because he gets his insurance through the marketplace. Came with a letter saying it was because President Biden overcharged us, but it was $300 less a month when Biden was in office. This $500 doesn’t even cover a full 2 months premium.
