Suggest that voting third party will put Trump in power again and get told my Democratic candidates are racists, that I secretly hate democracy. I guess they'll use any excuse for third party voting in a year when voting that way would likely put the most dangerous man on the planet back in power!

Personally, I'd rather live in the country where a failed coup results in getting booked at the county jail like a common criminal, rather than the country where a failed coup results in blasting a plane out of the sky with surface-to-air missiles.

New: Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes, including this one. Five-second delays on links to Bluesky, New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay https://wapo.st/3OYfTa6

I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush. I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.

Decades of fighting for LGBTQ+ rights should have brought an end to discrimination, yet scapegoating persists. As a Japanese-American who endured forced relocation as a child, the echoes of history are alarming. Let's remember, demand change, and vote to protect our future.

The Ugly Danger of Scapegoatingthinkbigpicture.substack.com George Takei writes about the dangers of Republican efforts to scapegoat the LGBTQ+ community, having been scapegoated along with the Japanese American community during WWII internment.

Dear MSNBC: Please retire Andrea Mitchell. She was just whining to Hawaiian Senator, Brian Schatz, that President Biden didn't speak immediately about the wildfires and that it was a failure of leadership. She's an embarrassment every day and long past her "retire by" date.

The first sentence of this article says so much. "If only public figures’ fear of the judgment of history outweighed their appetite for power in the present." https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-08-18/republican-party-georgia-indictment
