I legitimately called my mom tonight freaking out. Like trying to figure out if there were any other countries I could claim citizenship in. ( the closest is Poland. That’s not helpful) One of my foreign service friends did a post in Poland and she liked it!

With all the people high up in Nat Sec coming out against DT, and his comments about not leaving peacefully... if he actually tries to pull a coup after losing, I could see this getting bloody. Not saying civil war (or perhaps that's exactly what is is)... but there will be nothing peaceful about it.
ETA in the sense that there will be a force fighting back against him

👀 House Republican from Ohio My rep... I don’t know if I trust him though. I would hope he would do the right thing should it come down to it but I doubt it.

North Carolina battleground fuckery - both GOP members of the NC Board of Elections resigned last night. There is a heavy suggestion that Dems are trying to cheat and steal the election in NC because mail-in ballots that have been rejected are going back to the voters for corrections to missing information. "The two Republican members of the North Carolina State Board of Elections resigned Wednesday night, citing their concerns over a legal settlement that addresses several voting issues. David Black and Ken Raymond’s resignations come 41 days before the Nov. 3 general election. There are five members on the board. The remaining three members are Democrats. All members, including Black and Raymond, had agreed to the proposed settlement. The settlement, if approved by a judge, would create new rules to make it easier for people to fix mistakes on their mail-in ballots. It also would extend the amount of time after the election that absentee ballots could come in and still be counted. The elections board unanimously agreed to the settlement, but faced criticism from North Carolina’s top GOP lawmakers after it was announced. They said it could open the door to voter fraud." www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article245964685.html

That Shelley passage she quotes is really powerful. And she agrees- this messaging means he's terrified.

I severed my NYTimes subscription with no regrets shortly after the last election for fuckery in the editorials. They have systemic issues.

There’s a thread on my neighborhood FB page about political signs being stolen from yards. It’s only Trump signs disappearing. I’m sitting on my hands

Ok, so I just read a thing about how teenagers wearing sheets as ghost costumes is now a TikTok thing. So I could see this being a stupid prank but only if they were wearing sunglasses.

That could be. My other thought though is if she was covered from head to toe, how do you know it was a “she”? Thank y’all for coming along on this mystery with me lol.
