"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." #FDT

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here. Meanwhile Agent Orange blathers that it's a hoax. #FDT

This is government services for taxes paid. This is a promise made by the government. This is basic human decency. This is what every 1st world country does. Of all 1st world nations, the US does the bare minimum, while enriching the wealthy. That's WRONG. #VoteBlue

If you vote by mail: 1. Put a stamp on the envelope. The forces USPS to handle it like 1st class mail. 2. Drop it at the post office, go to the window and ask for a postmark. 3. Alternatively, you can use you precinct drop boxes, which are controlled by the elections folks. Not USPS. And #FDT

7/ Best rule: DON’T WAIT. USPS recommends mailing your completed ballot at least one week before it must reach your election office. If you’re cutting it close and must use USPS, go inside and ask for the manual postmark. Then tell someone else. This is the kind of detail that can save a vote.

6/ And don’t assume every state uses the same deadline. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by a deadline. Others allow later arrival if the ballot carries a qualifying postmark. Check your state’s rules before voting. about.usps.com/postal-bulle...

5/ One important distinction: I am talking about USPS collection boxes, the familiar blue mailboxes. An official BALLOT DROP BOX operated by your election officials is different. Follow your state or local election office’s instructions for those.

4/ There is a simple way to protect yourself. Take your ballot INSIDE a staffed USPS location and specifically REQUEST A MANUAL POSTMARK. USPS says the employee will apply it free of charge when accepting your ballot. about.usps.com/what/governm...

3/ Think about what that means near Election Day. You put your ballot in a USPS collection box believing you mailed it on time. It reaches the processing facility later. THAT date may become the postmark on your ballot.

2/ USPS says it plainly: mail is NOT necessarily postmarked the day it is collected. Postmarks are generally applied when mail reaches a processing facility, and that may not happen the same day you dropped it off. about.usps.com/newsroom/sta...

1/ ALERT! This tiny distinction could decide whether your vote counts: USPS BLUE BOX = your ballot may be postmarked later. STAFFED POST OFFICE = you can ask for a manual postmark that day. Please make sure every mail voter you know understands this. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The current regime is using FUD ( Fear Uncertainty & Doubt ) ahead of the midterm elections. They do what they accuse others of doing. See through it. Cast your ballot by any legal means necessary. Don't depend on USPS. Drop it off at an elections office or certified ballot drop box. #VoteBlue
