i think this gets at the crux of it. It doesn't matter if they are actively preventing people from dropping ballots off, or if they're there by accident, or what--their presence could still be viewed as intimidating, and the solution is for them not to be *anywhere*

80% of the country is pissed off about something and they're blaming GOP incumbents for it, the worst possible strategy for a Dem challenger is to tell the base "I don't share your values" while also telling swing voters "I'm so out of touch I think 'men in women's sports' is a real concern."

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

“Somebody will stop them” is a pretty remarkable answer from a senator. Congress wrote the law and controls the purse. If this use is legal, explain why. If it isn’t, Congress shouldn’t wait around for somebody else to do its job.

We spoke with that observer, who said ICE agents held her for hours. By the time they released her, her car had been towed. She also said she saw Chicago cops glad-handing with ICE. Hard to confirm, as the surveillance video file we obtained via FOIA request is missing nearly two hours of footage.

The first two panels show the lil guy alone, looking melancholic scrolling on the internet, with Dragon and Heater coming up to see what's wrong. In the third panel, Heater and Dragon surround the lil guy along with a handbook titled "How to Kapow the System". The fourth panel shows our lil guy with a glimmer of hope in their eyes for the first time since 2016, reading the definitive guide to making politics Not Suck anymore with the kitties and the handbook by their side.
