This is your reminder to vote as early and securely as you can

Early voting makes the fascists' attempts to steal the midterms harder

Senate Majority Leader Thune plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a vote next week. The measure is expected to fail, but it’s still important to speak up. Please call, message, and reach out to your senators and urge them to vote no.

Beautifully put. Every day lived in kindness, compassion, community and hope is a powerful act of love and resistance.

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

A generic profile account just said cost of goods goes up because trucks pay more for gas. True.

But an effective rail+plus trucking system (known as intermodal) is less than half the cost of trucking alone.

Add the use of EV semis and it gets even better.

Electricity rates are spiking as AI data centers pop up across the country. Households and small businesses should not be made to subsidize data centers while they already struggle to get by. Our nation's public utility commissions set household rates--they can act now.

Go to your county’s website and sign up to be an election judge. One of the duties you can choose to do is ballot collection. The county will train you.

The answer as always is to organize. See MN for a recent example how to effectively do so. Have each other's backs. Always. Also, it isn't like black voters haven't done this before. Thus why they've been doing souls to the polls for 60 years (because community is always the answer to fascist).

I keep thinking about voter intimidation. People may not want to go to a dropbox or fear they need a passport, so they won't vote at all. I feel like we need to start training for ballot collection or make Know Your Rights cards, election style.

And don't come at me w/ "midterms aren't happening".

Today is the 90th anniversary of the first flight of the iconic Spitfire from nearby Eastleigh aerodrome. To celebrate, here is a video I took at RAF Duxford a few years back of one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight spitfires on a test flight.

Per Ardua ad Astra 😊

The Spitfire was agile and fast. My Dad was an amateur aviation historian and this aeroplane was his favorite. Great post, great to see it swooping through the air!

We may still have 15" of snow-give or take- on the ground in Central Massachusetts, but with temps above 35°F, the local supermarket believes Spring has sprung!

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

It has to be understood, and taken seriously, that a person credibly accused and subsequently found guilty of SA on a child or adult exhibits a sadistic character that will, if allowed, wreak unimaginable horror upon society. It is a red flag. And here we are.

It’s a very, very, very dangerous thing for this country and for the entire world to have a cruel, idiotic, sociopathic madman in the White House.
