These motherfuckers genuinely believe no one but Republicans should be ALLOWED to govern. The scorn they have for the majority.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 10h

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Ep. 18: September to Remember
October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min
Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.
COMMON SENSE

Ep. 18: September to Remember

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

i am paying every single cent i can get my hands on towards this.

the radiation therapy has proved effective after only 11 sessions.

imagine what the full course could do. 🥹

i really would like my life back- and this is a real chance to get there

Bea Eli 🏳️‍⚧️ @msbeaeli.bsky.social · 7d

According to Bex's doctor, the radiation therapy is working!

The bad news is they need to pay the $3280 remaining balance ASAP!

$20 from your pocket could literally save their life.
Give it today- their treatment has been interrupted several times due to lack of funds.

my BFF, formerly my platonic partner and spouse of a number of years, who went through an acute MCAS flare from may-august and then moved home, i’m finding out after taking some space, is still not doing well.

any donations i get will go toward helping him get medical care.

hi, I finally got a new picture for my ask!

these are a good number of the necessities that I use. they are made possible by people on Bsky!

I'm bedridden with very severe ME/CFS and reliant on direct support.

anything helps.

a dark wooden table against a white(?) wall with various household and medical supplies neatly arranged on top.

items include a box of disposable gloves, a black KN95 face mask resting on top, bottles of medication and supplements, two small cartons of very high calorie Boost nutritional drink, a COVID-19 antigen home test kit, a large white container of Soylent, and several other medicine bottles and ointments.

there are also packs of wipes, a zebra-patterned bear, a folded green mat, a reacher-grabber tool, a white plastic bag over a bedpan, and a tray containing numerous small packets.

the floor beneath the table is dark wood, and the room lighting is warm and yellow-toned.

people see $1000 and feel overwhelmed. let me break it down: that's just 40 people giving $25. or 100 people giving $10. that covers my meds, supplies, and the specific foods I need for two months. we can find 40 helpers.

I normally only need $500 a month, but I did not meet the September goal.

New #mutualaid post for October. I'm traveling out of state this month to Colorado to visit my fiance, and groceries are a lot more expensive here than where I live. I've raised enough for groceries for the next two weeks, but with little leftover.
