So tell me, America - how is your not-quite-250-year-old experiment with democracy progressing? 😱 If you're too tired (or scared) to continue your resistance to steam-rollering autocracy, then read this. And understand. You have options, and accessing them may be much easier than you thought...

If you have voted absentee, please verify that your ballot has been been not only received but also accepted by your clerk. Thousands of ballots are not being accepted for simple reasons like people didn’t sign their name as required or the signature didn’t match that on file. Check yours today!

Early voting has started in 47 states and D.C., so if you don't live in Mississippi, New Hampshire, or Alabama, you should be able to vote now, or fill out your mail in ballot and take it to the nearest drop box, without waiting another week.

Yes it took them 4 years and 8 months, but properly constituted Commissions of Inquiry can't make snap judgements. But at least the official finding confirms what we already knew: Putin is a war criminal, and just as bad as those Nazis who were executed for crimes against Russian humanity

It only took them 4 years and 8 months. A UN Commission of Inquiry says Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, concluding they were intended to deprive civilians of essential services and cause suffering. #Ukraine
