USPS quietly blocking thousands of mail-in ballots over a single barcode error should have everyone paying attention to what fuckery they’re planning for November.
A whistleblower just confirmed Trump's mail-ballot verification system is broken enough to lose or reject people's ballots ahead of the midterms.
I am calling for an immediate stop to this rollout, and I am demanding that USPS leadership come before Congress to testify under oath.
The American people deserve answers before a single ballot is put at risk.
A whistleblower just disclosed that USPS is secretly enacting Trump's order to restrict mail-in ballots:
"If even one bar code on one single ballot in a bulk-mailing of 10,000 ballots fails to properly scan during the verification process, the entire batch is rejected and sent back to the state - effectively stopping the ballots from being mailed to voters."

Not swerving. Not on his phone. Lexus writes him up anyway:
CLOSED EYES DETECTED
LOOK FORWARD
An infrared camera in the steering column just scored his eyelids.
That is the product. Not a chime. A gaze model aimed at a specific face, deciding whether this man is allowed to look like he’s paying attention.
These systems fail unevenly. Eye shape, lid fold, glasses, height, lighting — the model was not built around every face it now polices. So the car doesn’t just watch you. It guesses. And when it guesses wrong, the dash still treats you like a problem.
You can mute the beep.
You cannot fire the camera.
Lexus says the face video “stays in the car.” The driving file does not: speed, braking, steering, attention flags. A behavior profile with a safety sticker on it.
This is the emerging surveillance state in a personal vehicle. You bought the car. They kept a supervisor. Blink, sit too low, or have the wrong face for the sensor, and the cabin writes you up.
A car that watches your eyes is not a feature. It is a checkpoint you take home.
Should a vehicle be allowed to monitor a driver’s face? I say “no.” What say you?
Everyone needs to be aware of this.
Republican bills always try to hide the worst effects until AFTER you vote. You need to read the bill to find out how much it affects you.
Ask yourself WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CONCEAL THE LOCATION OF DATA CENTERS FROM PUBLIC VIEW FOR A YEAR????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It's not good.
I don’t make political posts very often, but when something like this happens I have to.
Yosemite (and all National Parks) are public lands, and not for sale. These incredible places need to be protected for generations to come so everyone can continue to enjoy them!
I don’t care who’s in the White House, anyone who tries to destroy our public lands is wrong.
