Sometimes you read something that just kinda nails it.
"If you doubt Trump's dictatorial tendencies, note the number of times he says people shouldn't be allowed to do things. If he becomes president again, he will try to make sure they aren't allowed." - random comment on a Yahoo story on Trump whining about Harris's video message at the Al Smith dinner.
I have admired Anne Wroe's work intensely over the years; you must read this

In case you were not sure
Tim Sheehy who is running for a hotly contested Senate Seat in Colorado against Jon Tester. Claimed to have gotten a bullet left in his arm from combat while serving in Afghanistan
THe Park Ranger who responded to the incident comes forward. Sheehy got the wound after an accidental discharge of a firearm on park grounds. Not in combat, and not in the military
Totally on brand for a GOP candidate to openly lie

The head of the NRA -- "once a creep, always a creep" doesn't begin to cover this. In a better world Doug Hamlin would experience everything that happened to that cat. A fking sociopath.

"This is Trump's America, where people who are trying to participate in democracy and serve the public become targets for threats and violence if it serves Trump to call his mob on them. First it was public health experts during a pandemic, then poll workers during an election. Now it's FEMA workers following two devastating hurricanes."

Cards Against Humanity continues to be the absolute best. Here, let them tell you about it in their own words:
How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
Howard Stern ends his interview with VP Kamala Harris by saying, "I think you'd be a great president. You're compassionate. I love your experience as a prosecutor & I want to thank you. I love you as VP. I want to encourage anyone who thinks similarly to me to vote."
He continues: "I hope people get out & vote. I hope we wake up and we just end this nightmare. Go to iwillvote.com & register to vote for Kamala Harris...I wish you the best."

From MeidasTough: #VanceRallyMI

"At JD Vance’s rally in MI, there were 12 people there w/‘Autoworkers for Trump’ shirts. A reporter from Detroit News was able to get 6 to talk to him. All 6 said they weren't autoworkers but 1 organizer told them to put the shirts on. This same thing happened months ago when people were at a rally with ‘Union Members for Trump’ who admitted they weren’t in any union. Everything with the Trump campaign is scripted, fake and staged."
Screaming with delight over here, as one of my favorite movies ever has escaped the clutches of a monster. Dogma fans, where y'at?!
