People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots. This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline. An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION. Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Forcing AI on to employees is the norm for companies nowadays. Employees can't speak out against it directly, because doing so would negatively impact their performance review or perceived cultural fit, when layoffs in tech are also common.

I support nonviolent action. It's literally what I do. But telling people that allowing themselves to be harmed to demonstrate the character of their enemy will be politically transformative denies the desensitized reality of the present.

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

We’ve never had a shutdown under a competitive authoritarian regime before. This matters because the rules of the game have changed. If congressional leaders act as if the old rules apply, they will lose. The executive seeks to consolidate power and does not negotiate in good faith.
