But realize that getting a provisional ballot is like getting a homework assignment. In most states you have a few days to resolve whatever issue stopped you getting a normal ballot with the state like not having a photo id or not being on the voter rolls. 🗳️💫
If you are ever turned away at the polls, your LEGAL response must be:
“Please give me a provisional ballot, with a receipt, as required by law.”

🗳️ Spread the word! 🗳️

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.
Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

Thanks for sharing with us!
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.

⚡️THANK YOU, EXCELLENT!
Rep. Jason Crow ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I listened to your great interview with Heather Cox Richardson.
And then this message for America and The World:⚡️🌍⚡️
“I went to war 3 times for America”
-this kept echoing✨
After 3 times at war, I cannot even imagine how you and
other #Vets are feeling! 🙏
As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like Donald Trump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums.

America is over it.

No more sending our sons & daughters to fight for oil.
