From @theathletic.com: Reports have surfaced before the Winter Olympics that allege ski jumpers are injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to fly farther. The World Anti-Doping Agency has vowed to investigate.

If you care about our elections (and I hope you do) then please contact the ACLU and the Brennan Center, either by phone or in writing, and ask them to get a preliminary injunction to keep ICE away from polling centers on Election Day. They're planning to "guard" the polls.

"Horror in Wellington as millions of litres of untreated sewage flow into the sea"

Big clap for 👏💩👏 Jordan Williams & NZ Taxpayers Union for generating anti-Maori bigotry to kill the 3 Waters reform forbidding water privatisation for his #AtlasNetwork investors

When Seymour said there are always a small group of people that turn up and ruin it for everyone, for a brief moment I thought he'd developed self-awareness.

Wellington sewage story is a story of #NZ. Now shit has hit the literal fan, people care. But the issues of water infrastructure goes back decades. It's why National commissioned 3 Waters in 2017 & Labour accelerated its completion. National repealed that & their own version costs $9b more w/delays

If you can spare $1.25 a week by subscribing to my Kofi, it would really make a difference. I’ll be giving away smaller cross stitch pieces to subscribers over the year, how many depends on how bad my health is, but I’d be so grateful for any help. #CrossStitch #Kikorangi

I think DOJ did this on purpose and it's kind of hilarious.
Who could this be? Hmm…

It's a shame we don't have an Attorney General that is interested in defending the law or protecting victims.

The ACLU and the Brennan Center need to go to court well in ADVANCE and get injunctions barring federal agents from polling places except under narrowly defined circumstances. It is illegal. But, they MUST be told specifically in advance. Courts must instruct local police to take action.
ICE will be handling election security.

Never again wonder why Russia was willing to spend billions getting Trump into office.
