The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes
Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

Nice bit in this WAPO ballroom donor story where FCC boss Brendan Carr launches a bogus investigation into Dish Network then leverages it to force Charlie Ergen to shell out more for Trump's ballroom (the pressure on Ergen was also beneficial to AT&T and Elon Musk)
"Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Ergen in May to inform him that the agency had begun investigating EchoStar. Carr threatened to yank government licenses that were critical to the survival of the business, accusing EchoStar, owner of Dish Network, of not following through on promises it had made to upgrade its cellphone network.

The following month, Ergen met with Trump and Carr behind closed doors to discuss the investigation, according to Bloomberg. The outlet, citing unnamed sources, said the June 11 discussion included a brief exchange about Ergen’s political donations and whether he gave to candidates in both political parties.

The company referenced a June 11 meeting between Ergen and Carr in a regulatory filing and wrote that Trump “subsequently encouraged the parties involved to reach an amicable resolution.”

Ergen negotiated a deal to sell some of the company’s licenses to AT&T in August, subject to approval of the FCC and Justice Department.

Carr dropped the investigation the following month, thanking Ergen for his responses and for information he had provided.

In December, with the sale still pending, Ergen committed $12.5 million to Trump’s ballroom, according to the donation list. Records indicate Ergen requested that the source of the donation remain anonymous. The donation has not been previously reported.

He committed another $12.5 million in February, according to the list."

Yes, he signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions Act. Then he did nothing with it at all. In fact, he did the opposite - he lifted sanctions that have been in place for years. So what good is a law when the president ignores it? bsky.app/profile/atru...

“The two-thirds of US households who get their electricity from big, investor-owned utilities have long paid more, on average, than customers of the nation’s public power agencies. In recent years, they’ve seen prices rise faster too: 34% since 2020 compared with 19% for customers of publicly owned”

Elon Musk is despicable. Because he is a crazy white supremacist, he killed hundreds of thousands of people in Africa by having his DOGE teens cut aid for food and medicine. And because he is a crazy authoritarian, he has now killed Ukrainians by hindering their ability to anticipate air strikes.

Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin. So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim? Oh, I know! The US.

ICE just ADMITTED that it is using a warehouse in Roxbury NJ for “detainee processing” in direct violation of a court order. Activists are mobilizing, and we need a finding of criminal contempt. Here’s a statement from Project NINJA (no ICE in North Jersey Assn).
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Contact: projectninjamedia@proton.me

ICE Admits Use of Roxbury Warehouse, in Defince of Federal Court Order, for Detainee "Processing" ond Training; Project NINJA Colls for Action from NJ ond Roxbury Officials
ROXBURY, NJ - On Tuesday, Oct 13, U.S. Rep Analilia Mejia shared an email from ICE with Gothamist reporter Mike Hayes. In responding to her request for an oversight visit, ICE officials stated they had repeatedly brought detainees to the Roxbury warehouse for "initial processing" (claiming that detainees were not brought inside the warehouse).
At that evening's Roxbury Town Council meeting, Deputy Mayor Mark Crowley read a prepared statement providing their summary of these events, in which he further revealed that, in addition to "initial processing" of detainees, ICE has also been conducting training inside the warehouse for months.
These admissions come during a NJ Office of the Attorney General (OAG) investigation into evidence that ICE has, for months, been violating a federal court order prohibiting their usage of the warehouse.
This court order covers the entire premises: not just inside the building, but the parking lot and even the surrounding woods. All ICE is permitted to do is maintenance and security, nothing more. “While ICE might be claiming not to have brought detainees inside the warehouse, they admitted they violated the court order by using the property for detention operations, and should be sanctioned accordingly," says David Broderick, legal advisor to Project NINJA.
These admissions are only a result of ongoing allied pressure from elected officials like Rep. Mejia, and local citizens like Project NINJA, Eyes on ICE, rapid responder groups, and others. As Rep. Mejia said, "[DHS] only stopped when whistleblowers spoke up."
"The tireless work of local citizens and concerned elected officials is all that's stopping ICE from escalating their lawlessness," says
Birdie Green, co-founder, Project NINJA.

An image showing a digitally altered photo of Elon Musk dressed in a Soviet military uniform. He is wearing a dark brown ushanka hat with a prominent Soviet red star insignia on the front. His uniform is a khaki-colored military shirt complete with epaulets featuring gold stars, multiple rows of military ribbon bars on his chest, and medals pinned to his right pocket. The background displays a nighttime view of the Kremlin towers in Moscow, lit up against a dark, cloudy sky.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

Common Cause just told a federal judge that Trump's taxpayer funded propaganda ads ran hundreds of times after a TRO ordered an immediate halt to them. The two-page notice buff.ly/u2GESdN
1. On October 12, at 1:31 p.m. Eastern, the Washington Post reported that two ads continued airing after the Court issued the Order and into the early hours of
Monday, October 12, on multiple programs, including “60 Minutes,” “ABC World News Tonight,” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” Ex. A.
2. According to AdImpact data retrieved at 2:45 p.m. Eastern today, Defendants’ ads ran in nearly 400 spots on programs that began airing at 7 p.m. Eastern last
night—that is, after this Court’s order was in effect. Ex. B.
3. Specifically, “Final Battle” ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,” which aired on CBS starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.
4. And “Maduro” ran in 198 spots during “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” which aired on ABC starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.
