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

Ding ding fucking ding.

70% of young voters now identify as Democrats or lean that way — a 15-point jump from just two years ago. Those are Obama numbers. Young voters always lead the way. Now, please vote.

Can’t be repeated enough…

But I have been lying, lying positively my whole life long, every day and hour of it. Of a truth, I am a lie, and the father of lies. Though I believe I am not the father of lies. I am getting mixed in my texts. -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, ‘The Brothers Karamazov’

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Its so stupid It’s all so stupid

"Whatever one thinks of America’s war in Afghanistan, our allies have earned their place among us. If it weren’t for them, more American combat veterans would be buried in Arlington." From the archives:

A federal court already ruled, twice, that members of Congress have the right to inspect ICE detention facilities without advance notice. Last week, we went to the Otay Mesa Detention Center to do exactly that. ICE handed us a memo, signed the same day, telling us we now need two days notice,

As if people don't remember what football and its (mostly) white fans did to Black athletes just taking a knee during NFL games?! What is the plan to support these athletes if they make this move?

One thing lost in the IRS convo is that there will be a new president at some point who has every right in the world to revisit the conditions of the signed agreement. I suspect that arguments about upholding the good faith of govt contracts will be hard to hear through all the laughter.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It’s not close. No other president has used the office to enrich himself, his family, and his allies on this scale.

NEW: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

I miss having a President of the United States.

Congratulations to Octavia the Red-tailed Hawk and her mate on hatching the first chick for the 927 Fifth Avenue nest since 2018. It briefly lifted its head above the twigs this Sunday afternoon. Cute and helpless now, it will grow fast. 🎉🎉🎉

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

"...Gavin Newsom has not even released a statement on the raids targeting volunteers..." open.substack.com/pub/truthton...

The idea is tell right wing Trumpers that it’s okay to seize the Capitol. You will be pardoned and hugely compensated. He’s creating an army of violent insurrectionists.

TODAY — and every day until we have justice for all: We fight for equal rights and we join together to support each other in this battle. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

We cannot afford this man. He never stops taking from us. He’s a con & a thief. I blame the entire GOP for not reining this corruption in. There is not a single working class American that has not been harmed by his disgusting corruption & criminality. It’s a sickness. A plague. #ProudBlue #Onev1

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

The Speaker of the House just defended members of Congress trading individual stocks. Wrong answer. Members of Congress should not be trading shares in the companies they regulate and fund. Most Americans figured that out a long time ago.

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

I defeated Trump and his allies more than 60 times in court when he tried to steal the 2020 election. When Trump sued me for RICO in 2022, I didn't settle. I fought and won. He and the GOP hate me because I fight. They fear me because I win.

NEW: A Politico poll found that more than a third surveyed said the midterms will likely (21%) or very likely (%14) be stolen. However, there were differences among voters about what a stolen election means. Such confusion could lead voters to view elections with suspicion, if not illegitimacy.
