The MAGA-nauts don’t let facts get in the way of their stolen-election fever-dreams. Here’s a particularly crazy example, in which an entirely innocent air conditioning repair guy was held up at gun point by a far-right vigilante vote-fraud hunter. The story is featured in our film, Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen, which opened in Hollywood this weekend.

We've gone from 88 vigilante vote challengers in Georgia in 2020 to 40,000 vigilantes, who are now operating in 44 states.
As of five weeks ago, they'd already challenged 851,000 voters, and I got word yesterday that they've now challenged more than A MILLION VOTERS!!!
Overwhelmingly, it’s voters of color that have been challenged — and 95% of them have no idea.
So, that's why it’s important to go to http://SaveYourVote.org and CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION — RIGHT NOW!!!

When I was a kid in the mid sixties, my working Mother would save a few dollars off her paycheck every week and she’d treat me and my kid sister to a trip to the Jersey shore. We’d go a bus in Philly and in less than three hours we’d arrive in Wildwood. One guest house where we stayed bragged that Woodrow Wilson slept there. I was back in Wildwood this weekend and looked up the place. It’s still standing but is now the towns Civic Center. Miss my Mom.

It’s not iOS 18. I had it occur frequently on iOS 17. It MAY have been a malicious website (?) — I just don’t recall hitting one.
The hardest bugs to fix are the ones that are hard to reproduce.
If you can’t reproduce it, you can’t be assured it’s fixed.
@TheAbbotTrithemius LOL at them not knowing what it is yet. It's not that fucking hard to do a client server packet capture including data analysis with that data.
They know what it is. they just have no clue how to fix it.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT and close the pop-up.
Apple doesn’t know what it is yet and is investigating.

Mark Robinson and the Republican Wackjob Problem
“ This is not a problem of fringe figures operating around the margins of the party. The party’s ability to maintain some distinction between respectable, reality-based figures who wield influence, and conspiratorial maniacs lurking around the margins, has collapsed completely.”
