🚨 USPS Postmark Change Alert 🚨
“Your mailbox date ≠ official postmark date”
What to do:
1️⃣ Mail early.
2️⃣ Ask for a manual postmark at drop-off.
3️⃣ Use electronic filing/payment whenever possible.
Spread the word! This will affect voting IMMEDIATELY.

PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask.
Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

"This story doesn't need a sandworm"
This is almost always wrong. Arguably, EVERY story benefits from adding a huge subterranean worm with quasi-mystical or semi-supernatural powers, or equivalent (similar to Moby Dick).
Obviously the bigger the worm, the more literary quality it adds.

The ‘deck’ in “Deck the Halls” means “to decorate.”
But, it is not related or a shortening of ‘decorate.’
It comes from the Dutch word meaning “to cover.”
You also use it when you’re all “decked out.”

The internet should be free for everyone, but these bills like KOSA and the SCREEN Act are saying the opposite. Maybe if this country had listened to us and oppose SESTA/FOSTA, or if parents just do their job to make proper decisions with their kids' phones, we wouldn't be in this dystopian reality.
Even though we work on KOSA everyday, we didn’t know what bills would be in last weeks’ markup until 48 hours before the hearing.
This is the strategy- ram bills through before the public has had time to know what’s going on.
But you can always count on us to sound the alarm 🚨

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

A striking metric to help understand how rich billionaires are is that most of us would consider, say, a million dollars as a very useful sum of money, life-changing in many cases.
A million minutes ago from now is last January.
A billion minutes ago is August 124 CE. Hadrian is Emperor of Rome.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
