I was one of just 27% of my county who voted. These are my digital voting stickers.
Please vote. If you need a reason, think of the threat to SNAP (food supplementary) benefits for low income people in the US right now.
Voting matters.

Needless to say, SAG should direct members not to work with Paramount until the policy is reversed.

So, I just dropped off my ballot.
Oregon was the first state to implement vote by mail, in 1998. Ballot comes in the mail, I fill out the ballot, & either send it back, or drop it off a couple blocks away at a drop box at the public library.
It's so easy & stress free.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:
When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

If people think Maria Corina Machado, the choice for the peace prize, was a great victory for the left, think again: She's a huge Netanyahu supporter, loves Trump, supports dictators. She dedicated her Nobel award to Trump!
Still glad Trump didn't get the award (that would be ridiculous).
But wtf?

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I will not be reacting to what The Orange Men have to say about autism. It is ridiculous. At some point you gotta stop repeating your opponent's absurd claims, even if only to refute them, and get back on message.
Autism is a normal occurrence among humans; autistic people are worthy.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.
Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.
No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Trump just signed an order designating "Antifa" as a terrorist organization.
Now he'll use any convenient tattoo, sign or clothing to label protestors and activists as "antifa" so they can be assaulted and arrested by officers.
Antifa is just an abbreviation for "antifascist".
