Ohio only permits one ballot dropbox per county, so the grace period for mailing a ballot is a key convenience for those who cannot easily access a dropbox. Mail voting is particularly popular among older voters and those with disabilities.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.”

We documented dozens of cases of brutality — including physical and sexual abuse from guards — that show a humanitarian disaster unfolding at the Fort Bliss military base, where ICE is operating its largest detention center.

President Trump’s mass detention expansion is inhumane and dangerous.

🚨 Unarmed residents formed a human shield, demanded a warrant, and refused to move until ICE backed down.

Beefing with celebrities online. Reposting AI-generated memes of Franklin the Turtle. Sharing videos of people being detained to copyrighted music.

All of these prove exactly what @annamerlan.bsky.social wrote about months ago: The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird.
