In NC, people (eta from the Republican candidate's campaign) went door to door and took 1300 absentee ballots from elderly, largely black voters and filled them out for Republican Harris who won by 905 votes. I just. I. How can this be allowed to happen?

Trump now still planning an impromptu meeting with Putin. Because of course. I don’t think they understand the meaning of the word. You can’t announce an impromptu meeting a day in advance!

All this is is an expensive muscle flex that will cost the city money and do nothing. Ken Paxton is such a tool.

So people on my Facebook feed are posting some bs about how red trees are meaningful to early eastern Christian churches or something. 1. No, but red eggs for Easter are. 2. I’m guessing this came from 4chan or some other misinformation disseminator for funsies, but the fact that people are choosing to post it tells me they are not loving the red trees either and are grasping for a meaning that isn’t there.

I find the voter fraud discussion so infuriating. GOP leaders have convinced their base that voter fraud is rampant when it's practically nonexistent. So many of them believe that millions of people were able to vote under dead people's names and other bullshit. So then their base votes for discriminatory ID laws which disenfranchise minorities. It's an endless cycle, but the GOP is the one committing voter fraud with these bullshit tactics. And Mark Harris is fucking nuts.

On a personal note, I didn't list a lot his week because I was waiting in National Board scores and m head wasn't in it. But I found out that I am a National Board certified teacher in K-12 School Counseling 😀

I have to renew in a couple of years, and I'm dreading it. Did it come with a nice, shiny pay raise?

Or, you can manage to win elections and then this happens. Our General Assembly pulled similar tactics when the incoming D governor came to power. Anyone hear from Wisconsin?

I won't post the image, but swastikas were painted on a mural celebrating African American achievements. They were on the faces, and the LA police are calling it a "possible" hate crime. 🤔🤬

And through National Board, anyone certifying in 2017 or later is only good for five years before having to renew again.

Every single time I have canvassed they have stressed that, under no circumstances, should we handle anyone's absentee ballot. Ever.

Ok so I've come to a conclusion that might be unpopular. We only have 2 options with Trump. 1. We defeat him in 2020 and pray for a fair election and peaceful transfer of power 2. Mueller releases a report within the next 6-9 months and it's so devastatingly clear about Trump's criminal behavior that the GOP decides to primary him.
I really don't see any other way out of this without the threat of civil war.

I really don't see any other way out of this without the threat of civil war. I completely agree. And I think to avoid any violence it really has to be option 2. Where the goo reach their own and say please choose this alternative! And then we all hope they do. Otherwise, I do think there will be violence.

He has (quite smartly, and quite scarily) created 2 Americas: a 40% of the population who believe he's a wonderful fighter for them and is under attack by a malicious and lying deep state/press/Mueller. That 40% aren't likely to believe anything else at this point. I have not seen any evidence of all the crazy shenanigans, indictments, international incidents, etc costing him support. FFS Some jackass was on the S uhhh ndsu shows today claiming wages are up under Trump. IN WHAT UNIVERSE

The possible silver lining here is that Mitch McConnell is so deeply cynical that he will drop Trump like hot garbage the second he's no longer the key to broader power

If you look at history and how authoritarian leaders have built their power and kept followers, that's exactly what Trump is doing now. You've got Fox News which is basically a GOP propaganda machine and that's all the followers watch. Anything else is fake news and cannot be trusted. Churches have bought in. I don't think the base is ever going to change their minds. They've been completely brainwashed. I don't think I'm being overly dramatic when I say that this is a deeply troubling situation.

Russian state media are going in hard on Trump today. Brace for complete and total meltdown.

Maybe the fact that he's old and will be tired will help him want to get out of office?
I feel like a frog in a hot pot of water unable to get out. Or someshit.
