I have only voted by mail, I appreciate getting a voter guide with clear explanations of the ballots and statements from candidates. We get plenty of time to review everything and place our marks with confidence that we weren't tricked by politicians.

It was approved by voters in 1995 to move to only voting by mail in Oregon. 30 years of proven efficiency. They want to undermine that level of security.

Deportation to a country you are not from is not deportation, it’s human trafficking. Words matter. Military occupation of a city is martial law not crime prevention. Words matter. Imprisonment without due process is a concentration camp. WORDS MATTER.

My grandpa would play a game with us that we called "where are they" he'd grab us by the shoulders while standing in front of him and then ask everyone else in the room where did they go. The joke was that my grandpa was very tall and wore thick glasses so he couldn't see us right in front of him.

No, you're not required to suddenly *love* #Newsom, or change your mind about his past. Yes, he is waging a campaign against Texas' aggressive plan to redistrict additional seats. Building a coalition with people we don't like or agree with is how we are going to save what's left of our nation.

Telling disabled people to formally complain every time they're faced with inaccessibility or ableism, is a pretty privileged and ignorant suggestion. We would constantly be complaining, and the processes are so inaccessible themselves, we don't have the energy or capacity.
