Our steady—but ever rising—peaceful resistance is more essential now than ever, as Trumpists face the prospect of losing, facing accountability, and consequences. Don’t let down: take action today! #NoKings October 17 and everyday. #Nuremberg2.0 #FAFO

“How wrong he was back then, insisting that Gore & Bush weren’t very different, and that if Bush won, he’d curry favor with ‘liberal constituencies’ bc ‘he’s a conflict-avoidance guy.’” Nader also screwed the planet mightily; Gore would’ve addressed global warming with urgency.

You'd think if you were going to spend months considering whether something that is literally ruining lives is legal or not, you might want to stop it from happening while you decide. The people you're hurting in the meanwhile are never going to get their lives back. Seems they've already decided.

This is deeply concerning. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has sent observers to monitor every U.S. federal election for the past two decades. Governors need to pick up the phone and find out if an invitation extended by leaders of states can fill that federal gap.

Facts matter, especially when it comes to election integrity. Myth #16: An audit and a recount are the same thing.
A text graphic from the Election Truth Alliance that reads Myth Versus Reality. Myth number 16 debunked. An audit and a recount are the same thing. Reality: REALITY: Recounts and audits are different procedures that answer different questions. A recount repeats the counting of ballots—typically all cast votes—to verify whether the recount matches the reported result. An audit examines a sample of votes, machines, or polling places to test whether hand counts match machine or cast-vote records, verifying the process, not the result itself. Recount rules vary widely by state: 
41 states and D.C. allow requested recounts under certain conditions, while nine do not. Statewide recounts are exceedingly rare: only 36 of 6,929 statewide elections from 2000–2023 resulted in one.
