Dear Mrs. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans/
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass/
Been 6 months, still no word, I don't deserve it?/
I know you got my last 2 letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect!
If you don't vote for Harris, you're voting for Trump. If Trump wins, more Palestinians will die than if Harris wins. Possibly many more. Are their lives less important than your principles?
In 2000, Al Gore "lost" Florida by 537 votes. Ralph Nader received 97,488 votes in Florida. This led to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. If you’re voting third party this year, it’s a vote for Donald Trump.

ELECTION DAY STRIKE: We are back out on the picket line today. We know this is a hard day to be on strike for our members but we want to be clear: We are here because of the decisions of @NYTimes management.

With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
