Seriously, please don't be too shy or polite to ask for ICE whistles if you need them, especially in SoCal. A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles!

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date.

Let me sleep. Let’s all sleep. Delia’s husband has locked all the doors to the house.
I call that surly. I call that churlish. I hope lightning strikes him everywhere. Him and his doors.

This is what rigging in a democracy-turned-fascist ethnostate looks like. Even as Opposition parties & other groups protest the regime's vote rigging and mass disenfranchisement of Indians in Delhi, the BJP happily turned a by-poll in my state into a one-party election in their favour.
