Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

It’s pretty alarming how the reporters suddenly devoted to watchdogging Biden can’t tell the difference between real drastic glitches like in the debate and normal fumbling

Trump voters don't care about the job getting done. I'm convinced they truly don't think the Presidency matters. What they want is someone who hates the same people they do and who says he'll hurt those people for them.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience): There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask. That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

I also want to add some context to this from the #VoteRiders website.
$35 funds the cost of securing a vital document (such as their ID or birth certificate) for one voter
$50 pays for directly contacting 100 voters, targeted because they are likely to need ID help

Trump distancing himself from Project 2025 is 1) a lie, and 2) indication that they think playing their hand too early jeopardizes their chances.

This is the explicit goal of an astonishing amount of paid (and paid for!) propaganda out there. If you're feeling voting doesn't matter, maybe consider why it is so many people are spending so much money, time, effort and ad space trying to convince you not to.

People can help others become citizens by becoming a tutor. You help them study to pass the citizenship interview. It’s one of the most meaningful things I’ve done in my life. Search for immigrant or refugee services in your area. If you speak English and took 6th grade civics, you’re good to go.

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

I know many here love the ableist Biden is feeble narrative. Just a reminder they did the same thing to Hillary, and the same people were freaking out over her feebleness. Policy issues ≠ personal ones. Please do not fall for bigotry bc you aren't getting everything you want.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Tennessee is sending notices to voters - most of whom seem to be migrants who had driver's licenses before becoming citizens & registering to vote - telling them to prove their citizenship if they would "like" to do so. The letters talk about jail time for illegal voting. Blatant voter suppression.

I genuinely believe that Biden should pick a few things and act as John Roberts has permitted he can. Then he can resign on January 19, and have Kamala pardon him, to test the absolute nature of pardons Roberts authorized. If Trump wins, Biden's going to jail anyway.
