The NAACP has released a statement while the Tarrant County Commissioners Court considers a proposal today that would cut the number of Election Day polling locations nearly in half "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression"

Tarrant County, Texas, could see around 50 percent fewer polling locations in November's election. "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression," said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. "Cutting nearly half the places where people can cast a ballot doesn't save democracy money, it costs voters their voice. Tarrant County is home to a significant number of Black and Latino voters and is a majority people-of-color county. There is no question that this plan strips away polling access on a scale that will hit Black and Brown voters hardest. That is not a coincidence. It’s an intentional assault on our ability to make our voices heard and we will push back with every tool available.”

Psy-Ops & Astroturfing: Featuring David Hogg, the useful idiot. Periodicals were eager to help Hogg acquire some publicity despite the fall-out from Platner. These new articles were attended by a batch of astroturfing nonsense in the comment section. Lemme pull some up.

Tho AIPAC is problematic, Populist scaremongers are using their crusade against AIPAC to hijack the focus, center their agenda, and eclipse the concerns of everyday Americans The health, safety, & welfare of American ppl should be top priority. That means affordability, justice, and civil rights

The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC has spent a jaw-dropping $30M+ in tomorrow's Democratic primaries in Michigan and Missouri. But if you saw their attack ads, you'd never know it was them. Watch.

Because pissing people off is how you get engagement. That’s just as true here as on other platforms. It’s why posts shitting on Democrats go viral and the one pointing out their successes go ignored.

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

Reason number infinity to vote against this lawless, greedy, putrid regime: If you hate data centers: Yam tits ordered federal agencies to open public lands to data centers and the power plants needed to run them. The first 88.5-acre AI facility has already been approved near Lake Mead. VOTE.

There was a time when Democrats would go against Democrats, and in the end you would vote for the other Democrat if your guy or gal didn't win. But in all those cases, we were SURE the other Democrat wasn't trying to destroy the party. That's not true anymore, not with the DSA candidates.
