Voted early today. The polling place at my (very blue) county's board of elections was busy as heck, and the energy was so good. Trying not to get my hopes up too far, but it still felt amazing.

Halloween Safety Kid is here to tell you to not fall off a ladder setting up your decorations.
A werewolf holding a ladder outside a home. There is a kid dressed as a fire fighter in his yard with a bullhorn. The kid says, "Hey friend, let's make sure that ladder is on a flat, even surface. Much, safer. Gonna need a helper too with those padded feet. Wolf feet, so... Yep. Thanks.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident. This was always the goal. The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die. Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.
