Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

We would never ask for money.

Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere.

But now Trump hates it.

So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
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.

This piece cites 13 insightful pieces on Miller from this year, plus a bunch of other stories that mention Miller's pathologies (such as how he views the murderboat campaign as an opportunity to make Latinos look criminal).

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

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.

Just reupping this. Anyone know someone they can tag?
Folks, I’m working on a statue idea for an art piece in a prominent location and I’m looking for someone capable of creating 3D models to be 3D printed.

The 3D models needed would be public figures. Message me on Signal if you think you can help.

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.

This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

This is why conservatives are so pissed off about abortion pills!

Abortion pills are winning. The abortion rights & healthcare communities have come together to ensure patients can get the care they need despite Republicans’ draconian laws.

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness.

You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.
