The description of President Obama brought tears to my eyes.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

"No, if you claimed to be embarrassed by Barack Obama but you're somehow not embarrassed by Donald Trump—I'm going to strongly suggest it was largely a pigmentation issue."

@johnpavlovitz President Obama was and is a wonderful man. Your description of him brought tears to my eyes. I am white. I was VERY proud. I miss him every day.

There is only 1 polling place for 27,000 people in Dodge City, KS, which is 60% Hispanic, & it's being moved outside of town, 1 mile from nearest bus stop. Happening at same time Kris Kobach, one of most anti-immigrant politicians in US, running for gov https://t.co/2FYgqtlQD6

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

I am sick and outraged over the murder of journalist and American permanent resident Jamal Khashoggi. The President and his administration have failed to uphold their duty to the Constitution and to the rule of law by turning a blind-eye to this demonic act.

@PalmerReport The Voter turnout so far is really remarkable, isn't it? ♥️

BREAKING: Native Americans push back on North Dakota voter ID rule, announcing in a new statement they will issue street address documents at polling locations to members who need them.

Woman power

Human power

always feeling
my heart beats
as my eyes open
as my hands move
as my mouth speaks

I am

Ready.

So much for low Democratic midterm turnout
Yes, I'm in Georgia, and this is very true. I'm hearing and seeing the same from folks. Lots of paper ballots, lots of early voters. Very heavy and we're only two days in!!!

For those of you who've yet to vote in Georgia, this is a really nice Web Page that breaks down the 5 Constitutional Amendments up for vote on the Nov 2018 Ballot:

BREAKING: We're suing over Georgia's signature-match law.

It allows elections officials to reject absentee ballots if they think signatures in a voter's paperwork don't match. Voters aren't given prior notice or chance to fix the issue.

Autumn breathes slow
like a pause in a dance -
with reflection a melodic refrain.

@krassenstein Yep, this is a big, sticky, yucky problem in this state. Makes me angry as hell. I had problems before the primary & have been warning people since. I'm registered okay ... but I check constantly! Georgia's a problem!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Approximately 8.5% of all vote-by-mail ballots have been rejected by Gwinnett County election officials in Georgia.

60 percent of residents in Gwinnett County are Latino, black or Asian

This is NOT normal.

This is Voter Suppression.

It seems the bot farm has released a new battalion on us to deny, deflect, distract. Most have 0 followers and 0 knowledge of English.

Block them and move on. Every minute spent engaging them is time wasted. #Dem candidates need our support.

#BlockTheBots!

@AnneRiceAuthor I preferred Frankenstein, though I read both. I was very, very impressed with the writing depth of Frankenstein. For me, Dracula seemed anti-climatic, though I enjoyed it overall.

The Blue Wave isn’t just about voting. It’s about a new era of American values – a day and age in which we value our families, our communities, and those who work for the American Dream. The Blue Wave is one of community building and solidarity.
