Remember how we passed bills that would bar ICE agents from state and local employment as well as ban California law enforcement from doing side jobs for ICE, but then @gavinnewsom.bsky.social vetoed both bills because he's stupid and has terrible political instincts?

Three quick bursts if you see ICE.
Long loud blasts if they're actively detaining someone. Form a crowd, stick together, and film everything.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

It is all men. We all share and deserve the blame and label until it's no men. Because if none are stepping up as one voice to say no and none are stepping in to stop, when their friends and family even speak about assault even as "jokes" it's encouraging and enabling the behavior and complicite

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy.
You can:
—put it in drop box
—go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you
—if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.
In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants.
Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

Look, this is bad. Yes.
But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi).
What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.
