@Osinttechnical @Noahpinion That is exactly what they need to do. Europe can be stronger for this.

[Edmund Freeman @eef31415]

@StephaniePanny Right. Putting the American flag in the garbage. How patriotic.

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

If you encounter violence, threats, or intimidation at a polling place, call 911 immediately. After alerting local authorities, report the incident to the Justice Department.

For election-related complaints, contact the FBI: https://t.co/psjiI0c3qy

No Presidential endorsement from the WaPo.
Meanwhile in the @seattletimes...

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@jeffclune We live in information silos. Trumpers are soloed off from reality

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Because of Trump's abortion bans, doctors are leaving their states out of fear of prosecution and women are dying because they aren't able to receive the lifesaving care they need.

And Trump brags about overturning Roe.

[Edmund Freeman @eef31415]

Why 'weird' is a good attack against Trump and 'authoritarian threat to democracy' isn't. https://t.co/1KHfSoSmhK

[Edmund Freeman @eef31415]

We live in a clearly, depressingly unreasonable world where everyone has information overload. It makes politics a little difficult, and a lot like kindergarten recess #politics

@Noahpinion If the US pulls its nuclear umbrella it will be too late to build nukes. China can threaten to attack if any program starts.

[Edmund Freeman @eef31415]

@markets @RChoongWilkins So China's economy is going to be: the govt pays to build houses nobody wants then buys them to stay empty.

@theangriestbuni It's a 0 week ban. It's counted from the last period. So if a woman misses a period (4 weeks) waits a week to make sure (1 week) takes a week to get results (1 week) that's the six weeks before she is certain.

@Noahpinion There was this Covid thing going on?

[Edmund Freeman @eef31415]

@Noahpinion As near as I can tell China is doing Modern Monetary Theory. Borrowing doesn't matter in your own currency. A Potemkin economy.

@kareem_carr It works in the lab

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

I'll take this one.

A Black Barbershop is actually a church>
It is also a political headquarters
It is a secret hideout and gathering spot.

The Black barbershop is 1 of the most important, most revolutionary institutions in Black history.

A (relatively short) thread.

[Holger Roonemaa @holger_r]

A few months ago we ran a small experiment. We created a new account in Telegram and started looking for a job. We joined channels that were directly about jobs in Estonia. Here’s what happened.
