*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

This should alarm every American. Trump is shutting out independent election observers while preparing to send his own DOJ monitors to polling places. That's a page out of Putin's playbook. Our elections belong to the people — not Donald Trump.

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades

The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

I don’t care what the polls are saying one way or another, just VOTE, OK? “But it’s a shoe-in. There’s no way ____ loses.” Not until those ballots are counted! Vote anyway.

Newsom and Bonta screwed SO MANY people over by allowing this merger to go through. CNN is going to be torn apart. Steaming prices are sure to rise. Countless people will lose their jobs. And a Trump bootlicker has final say over which projects get green-lit. We are entering dark times, people.

Paramount intends to complete their acquisition of Warner Bros next week. The new name of the combined company could be announced as soon as tomorrow. (Source: edition.cnn.com/newsletters/...)

Look, anything is possible. It could end up being good. It could actually be planned out from the start instead of going in completely different directions with each movie. It could end up redeeming Star Wars movies after Rise of Skywalker. ………But idk if we’re ready for another trilogy just yet.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

ChatGPT helped the Tumbler Ridge school shooter focus on guns, tactics, and terror, our investigation reveals

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! I hate this SO much! Just like with January 6th, right-wing dipshits are able to obtain more power because liberals REFUSE to take action! So long, CNN! Enjoy getting reworked by Trump’s cronies like CBS was!

Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company. I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train. Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹

Since a certain trailer dropped today, I'd like to remind everyone: The worst attention a product can receive is no attention. If you don't want it, don't bother with it. Hate-watching will only help it become more successful.

I cannot emphasize this enough: CHECK YOUR VOTER STATUS, THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING EVIL AND TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO EVEN TAKE PART IN THE PROCESS

Check your voter status! Vote.gov Doesn’t matter what state you’re in. Always check your status before voting day. Do it months before because there are often deadlines to fixing it. Make sure everything is active and accurate.

I don't want things to get back to normal. Normal is what got us here. Going back to normal is just setting the stage for another repeat, because we already "went back to normal" and the fuckers took advantage. I want things to change, and I want this to never happen again.

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom
