I've seen so many sad trauma reactions from people trying to mentally procsss how society has changed since Trump.
If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.
I read a few comments from Republicans in Georgia who talked about wanting to vote early but their closest polling place being 30 minutes away. And why is that?!?!?
My heart breaks for those who try to watch sports or play video games while dealing with a gambling addiction. Shit is relentless
Again it’s going to be interesting to see the “ignore the groups” guys argue the key to success here came by never addressing the needs or concerns of these voters.
Greg Bluestein@bluestein.bsky.social · yesterdayA new analysis shows early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...
This is the big one! Black voter turnout actually dropped in places like Atlanta and when I was in Georgia in 2024, older Black voters said they were trying to convince young people to go vote.

DOJ intends to send “election monitors” ON Election Day. This is why voting early is a great idea. #VoteBlue www.npr.org/2026/10/21/n...
The Justice Department begins notifying counties where it wants to monitor elections
The department has long deployed election monitors, but the Trump administration's unprecedented steps to try to wrestle control over elections have led to new concerns about DOJ monitoring this year.

We are still way too early in the game but that young white vote in Georgia is looking catastrophically bad for Republicans
Dj@djsoke.bsky.social · 15h agoThis has not budged much, and it's something to keep an eye out on this weekend and in the last couple days of early voting next week, when the electorate gets much younger.
So my old version of Office 2021 apparently got EOL'd ten days ago The support doc on the "End of Support" page says things will continue to work like normal But I can't save files anymore unless I sign up for an M365 subscription, which I neither want nor need
what can I give? What skills do I have to offer? What logistics do I need to square away? What affairs do I need to get in order?
You should personally think through what an autocoup will look like; what you can do to prepare; and what you are personally able to do to, with the aid of millions of your fellow citizens, save the republic.
Omar’s raid. The Alaska lawsuit. This intimidation attempt. They are building the ideological case for an autocoup.
Also, again. To those who think a coup attempt is unlikely. You see the pattern of escalation here, yes?
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 13h agoBREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.
I do not know the details or if there are stipulations on this it’s just that multiple people have told me the same thing in so many words
This was told re:new shows not new seasons of shows they already have, but still.
Netflix has told several people going forward with new pitches that they plan for all animated shows from now on to be AI. I've heard this more than once now.
It used to take a full day to download one Limp Bizkit song.

✪ Beware the Gray Ghost ✪@jongraywb.blacksky.app · 21h agoAt this point, it's become mildly fascinating to me that one of the easiest Black related "sells" of all times is constantly fumbled (and thats not even touching how dire the games industry seems to be atm which is another topic entirely).

This would actually appeal to a shockingly high number of their supporters
