#Election2024 #election #uspol This is definitely a “hope for the best, plan for the worst“ day. Timothy Snyder has emphasized that there will likely be violence regardless of outcome. He suggests thinking through the ramifications of a Trump victory/loss and preparing for what might come. We’re doing that with the hope that the preparation won’t be necessary. For our country and the world, I want a #Harris victory.


This is quite something! Trump's discount Goebbels, Stephen Miller, is the most vile xenophobe in America #Nazi

His own former rabbi spoke out against him and #Trump in his High Holy Days sermon while Trump was in office

And just endorsed #Harris because she embodies the #Jewish values of lovingkindness and respect for law tempered by kindness #Election2024 #uspol

#Trump Claims “Illegal Alien” #Voting Is Rampant. His Own Party Disagrees.

In a private video training session, a top #Pennsylvania #Republican National Committee official reassured a new poll watcher that undocumented people could not possibly vote in the state.

For those, like me, who don't want to pay WaPo 1 red cent for their enlightenment, you can likely find the same info here:

The most important line from this interview: 93% of people over 65 are likely voters. That means they already have or say they definitely will. Only 62% ofpeople under 35 fit those same criteria.

If you are under 35, one out of three of your friends is not going to vote.

Do something about that, please!

Just wanted to say to all mastodinians how much I have appreciated being able to endure these very tough times and last few weeks with you. I am cautiously optimistic we will all get to sigh a huge sigh of relief and celebrate with one another. #Mastodon #ThankYou #TeamTogether #Vote #AmericaCanDoThis #election2024


@Npars01 Can't see anything "Grand" or "Great" in today's "Republicans".

Maybe it's because there's nothing "grand" or "great" about corruption, cruelty, craziness & criminality.

Correct me if I'm wrong. 👋😎

America deserves better. America has better: Kamala Harris & democracy.

Red is the color of blood. Vote Blue!

Thanks for all the boosts, everyone! Keep ‘em coming.

Our voting center had a visit from Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-12), who will be vacating her seat, and Lateefah Simon, who is running to replace her. Both went to Mills College and both voted here today.

#Election2024 #HarrisWalz #Vote #California #Oakland #Democrats


All California voting centers are now OPEN.

Check caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov to find a voting center near you.

Everyday hours: 9am - 5pm
Election Day hours: 7am - 8pm

Drop off mail ballots or vote in person. If you are not registered, you can register and vote on the same day.

The 13th, 22nd, 27th, 41st, and 45th congressional district races are close! If you live in one of these, your vote really counts.

As usual, we have loads of ballot propositions. I recommend peterates.com for information about state propositions. (Lots of good info there, even if you don’t agree with Pete’s takes.) Check local guides for city and county ballot measures.

If anyone has questions about voting in California, feel free to message me.

If any Oaklanders need to find my polling place (at Mills College; and yes we’re confusing to find), see below. Thanks to everyone who has already come in to vote!

Harrison Ford, you guys!!!

“I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris.”

I don’t know why this one hit me in the feels. Maybe because he’s known as a tough guy, he’s rich, he’s a bit eccentric…I was worried. But we all know that Indiana Jones hates Nazis, and it turns out Harrison Ford does too. 💙

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TRUMP’S VIOLENT REMARKS Here are 40 instances in which the former president incited or praised violence against his fellow citizens. theatlantic.com/politics/archi… #trump #election2024


When a #Florida Farmer-Legislator Turned Against #Immigration, the Consequences Were Severe. But Not for Him.

For a lawmaker’s #political career and his farm, a federal visa program was a lifeline.

For a young father trying to meet his son’s mounting medical needs, that same lifeline failed him.

I prefer Presidents who don’t bungle the response to a deadly pandemic costing 88,000 American lives.

Trump Media Outsourced Jobs to #Mexico Even as #Trump Pushes “America First”
==

On the campaign trail, #DonaldTrump threatened businesses that send jobs south of the border, while his own company that runs the Truth Social platform outsourced coding jobs to workers in Mexico, outraging some staff members.

#Trump Says He’ll Fight for Working-Class Americans. His First Presidency Suggests He Won’t.

From cutting children's #disability benefits to allowing employers to pocket workers' tips, Trump tried to slash protections for the working poor in ways that have been forgotten by many.

Can you imagine if any of us talked about Trump the Diminished facing nine rifles and him being shot in the face?

The feds would be all over us.

Trump made those very comments about Liz Cheney and gets away with it.

The double standard is sickening.

Election anxiety and thoughts of the future? Our latest Editor's Letter from @gusbova finds him preoccupied too. Welcome to the November / December issue of Texas Observer magazine: texasobserver.org/editors-lett…

Our top story: Compared to 2022, there’s less bullishness now about a coming wave, but the Republican Party still sees the region as part of the party’s future and is continuing its outreach there. In response, #Democrats, along the same lines as Vice President Kamala Harris, are now appealing to the moderate and undecided. texasobserver.org/rio-grande-v…

As is the biennial ritual, many in the state and at the national level are asking: Will #Texas turn blue (whatever that means)? Or, more specifically, can Colin Allred become the first Democrat to win a statewide election in Texas in 30 years? texasobserver.org/cruz-allred-…

“In many ways, #Trump has won the policy argument at the border. Joe #Biden and Kamala Harris have both embraced versions of his bottleneck strategy and hope to choke off asylum access between official ports of entry. But, for the 11 million undocumented already in the country, the distinction between the parties remains bright.” texasobserver.org/editors-lett…

It’s beyond maddening that #Trump just has to win an election while we have to win and then fend off another Insurgency of Dunces.

It’s a safe bet that people will get killed this time around too.

San Francisco, we can do better than this! Boost to spread the word.

With less than one week until the last day to vote, only 23% of registered SF voters have returned their ballots.

It's better to return your ballot sooner rather than later so you have time to fix any problems that could keep your vote from being counted.

If there's a problem with your returned ballot, the SF Department of Elections will try to contact you to fix the problem.

⭐ Do democracy a favor and vote early! ⭐ Put your ballot into an official drop box or bring it to the City Hall Voting Center. You can still mail your ballot, but remember, in San Francisco it must be postmarked by or on Election Day to be counted.

Get all our unbiased voting information at lwvsf.org/vote.

Almost every single school district in the San Antonio area is facing a funding shortage after the #Texas Legislature failed last session to use its $33 billion surplus to alleviate the growing financial crisis public school districts face from inflation, declining enrollment, and property tax cuts that have restricted local revenue. texasobserver.org/san-antonio-…

Y’all better vote for her. Put aside what you wish things were and make the choice between the two people on the ballot. If you are a US citizen nitpicking about Kamala at the 12th hour, you are voting for Trump and that means fascism in America.

Nitpick after the election. Understand the value of democracy no matter how imperfect.

Don’t. Fuck. This. Up.

Sounds like Elon Musk - who Trump outsourced his field team - is running the Cybertruck of get out the vote field efforts:

"In Michigan, canvassers and paid door knockers for the former president, contracted by a firm associated with America PAC, have been subjected to poor working conditions: A number of them have been driven around in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, according to video obtained by WIRED, and threatened that their lodging at a local motel wouldn’t be paid for if they didn’t meet canvassing quotas. One door knocker alleges that they didn’t even know they were signing up for." #election2024

This is karma for letting Trump conduct a publicity stunt at one of their outlets in Pennsylvania.
There is no advantage to being connected to Trump.
