Consider this your assignment for National Voter Registration Day.
Head to IWillVote.com and check your voter registration status. Then send this to the group chat and make sure they check theirs, too.
We all need to turn out this November and be too big to rig.

It's National Voter Registration Day, so have you checked your voter registration yet?
I was talking with a friend who found out her state had unregistered her.
Don't take any chances seven weeks before the Midterms.

🚨NEW from me: Dems overpromising & underdelivering enriched their donors & created backlash conditions for Trump's ascent.
A new study offers a big warning: If Corporate Dems remain in control of their party & once again block real change, America will get an even worse Trump.

Get in, folks: a new Russian disinfo campaign is targeting the midterms, specifically Democrats, in what seems to be the first attempt by the Kremlin-backed op to meddle in this year’s U.S. elections. They're faking celebrity videos attacking Dems and are...very stupid.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

However much you hate the New York Times it’s not enough.
It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
