The analysis tomorrow of which districts in which states had bomb threats called in to shut down polling centers is going to be the least surprising piece of news in the history of humanity.
@oliviakrauth This is the first election that I've voted early.
Pro tip: Berrytown early voting was incredibly quick and there were no folks just outside the barriers waving signs as the last line of defense.
Chile’s iconic cop-biting riot dog Negro Matapacos (translated as Black Cop-Killer) died on this day in 2017. The stray dog showed up at student protests for free education in 2011, defying tear gas and water cannons and becoming an unwavering companion in student’s struggle.
Notably, he would only attack “pacos” (Chilean slang for “cops”), never students and protesters.
The image of the black dog in a red bandanna remains a symbol deeply ingrained in Chilean protest culture today. Matapacos’ presence continues to resonate in various forms, with signs and posters at protests with phrases like Estai Presente (“You’re Present”) and En Tu Memoria (“In Your Memory”).
Negro Matapacos passed away of natural causes on August 26, 2017.
