Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges.
There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

Pollution, climate change, unsustainable resource use, and land conversion are driving the biodiversity crisis—even in areas with little human impact. Remote ecosystems have just 33% of viable plant species, showing how far-reaching our effects on the biosphere are, says @julianschrader.bsky.social
Invisible losses: thousands of plant species are missing from places they could thrive – and humans are the reason
Many native plants are missing from habitats where they should thrive – even in wilder areas. Why? Human actions such as logging, poaching and setting fires.
