America's system is quite foolproof but he can still try to delegitimize it

A rural hospital along the Idaho border has been feeling the pinch from an influx of people coming from outside Washington who, under state law, can receive free health care there.

This scenario requires being completely innumerate about how many voters there are, how many polling places exist, and how many agents they have.
One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

What a wonderful world with Willow in it.
I saw that today marks the start of Ramadan, Mardi Gras, and Lunar New Year. That means like HALF of the world is celebrating
Things have generally been feeling progressively bleaker and heavier, so hopefully we can all grab some good vibes today while they’re free flowing💖

This is why one should consider equal-weight ETFs among other investment options.
E.g. RSP vs SPY.
E.g. RSP vs SPY.
“Passive investing mechanically allocates capital based on market-cap weighting, creating a self-reinforcing feedback loop where more money flows into already-large companies, further exacerbating overvaluation.” A brilliant piece. Highly recommend everyone give it a read.

Yes, we did. The ads were geolocated. They did not stop in DC for other sports. But after Hangman posted Fuck ICE, they did stop on AEW. Everyone, you are allowed to pat yourself on the back. We won that battle, big time.
Folks on here are saying AEW fans got the ICE ads on HBO Max stopped but is there any evidence that it was because of the complaints vs because they paid for a term? Don’t get me wrong I’m glad/proud everybody complained and that the ads stopped but I never saw any indication of cause and effect
