Prepare:
1. Get paper ballots in as many states as possible.
2. Recruit thousands of poll watchers.
3. Hire security for polls.
4. Hand count ballots and register results on a private server.

BREAKING: In a major win for voting rights, an Arizona Court tosses a GOP lawsuit that tried to make voting by mail even harder.

With nearly 90% of Arizonans voting by mail — this ruling protects voters from mass ballot rejections based on minor signature mismatches.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis

Every school in America has a version of active shooter drills. Teachers take extra workshops. Kids are taught combat level first aid.

But did anyone think to teach a while you're praying shooter drill?

STOP THE GUNS!

Hey MSM, ask RFK Jr to define 'inflammation'. Ask him to define 'mitochondria'. Ask him how, specifically, that he can tell how children have 'mitochondrial challenges'. Ask him what, specifically, about children's faces and body movement indicates inflammation. He won't know. He's making shit up.

RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection

I believe this was predicted but still disquieting. One would have to be naive to think such a covert operation is not already planned or underway in Canada, most likely centred in Alberta. Trump’s CIA serves Trump after all.

“If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Something is wrong with a system where 76% of workers say they’re worried to make ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what the median worker does.

Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back.

I pray tonight for the priest who was saying Mass as the Minneapolis shooting unfolded in front of him. That had to be a horrible sight to see from the altar. I've prayed all day for the families affected. As a mother, grandmother, and former teacher, each school shooting takes another piece of me.
