At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

Great news! Our lawsuit successfully blocked Trump’s fascist Department of Homeland Security from harassing and intimidating voters in nine states. Trump knows he can't hold onto power without illegally suppressing our vote. Union nurses won't allow it. https://bit.ly/3WHyLjC

Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found.

The Pentagon plans to live-stream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, and my head is so very heavy, and everything is covered in the ashes of a burning planet. I found the corpse of a water spirit down by the creek where my parents live. She used to play with me when I was small.

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social

It’s hard to believe that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz hasn’t had extensive training in research ethics. That means she’s intentionally going to let babies in Guinea-Bissau be infected with Hepatitis B by withholding vaccine when they have vaccine available.

We have three goals for the next No Kings Day on October 17: 1) Boosting vote turnout to the biggest it’s ever been for the midterms. 2) Getting our communities prepared to organize against election sabotage. 3) Creating a mandate for the reforms and accountability we want to see next year.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

From the beginning of the war in Iran, I've warned one reason that Trump wants such a war is to provoke a terrorist attack at home. History is full of leaders - from Putin in Russia to Orban in Hungary - who have used foreign wars and real or manufactured threats to expand their authority.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

The largest Senate Republican super PAC has canceled millions of dollars in North Carolina and moved the money to Kansas. This likely means Republicans think Kansas Democrat Adam Hamilton could beat incumbent Republican Roger Marshall.
