61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.
Folks from the Women’s March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE. #ICE #AbolishICE #Resistance #WomensMarch Credit @womensmarch.com
THEY LIE!!! The online forecast says partly sunny but it's raining.
El Sayed was not my first choice. But at this point, it doesn’t matter. We all need to rally behind him to keep Michigan’s Senate seat with the Democrats. Progressives need to do the same when a centrist Democrat wins a primary.  www.cnn.com/2026/08/04/p...

🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

God bless my nerdy kids watching the election results. Lol. Tear of pride.
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
She crept up on him in the wee hours, but Abdul still has a 20,000-vote lead. With maybe five percent of the vote still uncounted, NBC has called it for Dr. El-Sayed but most news organizations are still saying it's too close to call.
That's a more than 30,000-vote gap with more than a million votes counted. And there are some surprises, too, with candidates winning counties one might not expect. The counties yet to report are pretty much rural up north places.
Early on Wednesday, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed still leads by a whisker.
Progressive former SEIU official and state representative Donovan McKinney, who grew up in hardcore poverty in Detroit, has won his primary and ousted incumbent corporate Democrat Shri Thanedar.
However, reports that she told Donald Trump to fuck himself in the nose with a rifle cleaning kit are probably exaggerated. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

As the night wears on, the El-Sayed vs. Stevens race gets much closer.
¡¡¡RAIN!!! I like it the garden loves it, the kittens come out of it for the shelter of the front porch. But AGAIN, Microsoft's local weather forecast for here is way wrong. Does this have something to do with the anti-science budget cuts by the Trump regime?
Sophie Cunningham may have a point about not wanting trans women in women's sports, although she seems to take it too far. Some of the WNBA players and coaches, including the league's superstar Caitlin Clark, disagree as in their prerogative. Leave it to Fox News to attack women's sports in general.
And NOW Microsoft hijacks part of my screen to force me to open a Microsoft email account....
Medcom is way too gullible about the official characterization. More than anything, this is a US arms sales event. Panamax 2026 reúne a siete países en maniobras para proteger el Canal de Panamá www.telemetro.com/nacionales/p...

Cross-cultural translations: China's Communist Party, in literal Chinese, means the "Share The Wealth Party." And the capitalist system, rendered the same way? It means the "every man for himself" system.
Well, they did it. The Detroit Tigers traded Tarik Skiubal to the Dodgers. It MIGHT make for a stronger team, but to me it's a sad day.
And here is Senator Thom Tillis’ response:
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 4d agoToddler-in-chief, Felon Trump, seeing his Golden Boy Blanche tanking, threatens to keep the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement and our Capitol. That slush fund is dead from the get-go per a federal judge so Trump is barking up the wrong tree as usual.
Living off the land got just a little better this morning. The sweet red pepper bush growing out of my back yard compost area is now producing the good stuff. Later I will begin to cook with these, but at the moment eating them fresh-picked and raw is part of breakfast.
