Personally, I think it's Bad that a foreign dictator aligned with one of our major political parties is calling in bomb threats to majority Black voting sites.

We are literally doing that!!! Please answer your phone!
I was glad to talk to @davidgilbert.bsky.social at Wired about the racist and antisemitic group that was allegedly breaking the law by handing out free food exclusively to Trump voters today near a polling place in Arizona.
Yet another thing that could have been avoided if Milwaukee had not been forced to sit on these ballots for days, by laws made by the far right authoritarian party, for the express purpose of creating the veneer of mass voter fraud.
There is absolutely a recording of Trump asking Putin for this specifically
There are a whole lot of people who need to sign the Russiagate apology form
Not sure about the lawsuit, but if Harris wins you are going to see a LOT more whining about What Is Wrong With Women and the whole 19th-Amendment-Was-A-Mistake thing is going to get dragged a little further into the Overton Window by these losers
This is such a BFD. A guy who could throw $10bn at every election from here on out and judiciary etc. The GOP bought the Federal Judiciary and SCOTUS for less than this over a life time. We’re going to have to tackle this.
This has been a remarkably smooth election day with only minor hiccups so far (and some despicable bomb threats coming from Russia). It takes tens of thousands of people to pull this off. Especially given threats and intimidation of election workers. I thank them all.
Five more poll locations in DeKalb County, Georgia, have received bomb threats. Voting has been halted for now, and the county is seeking an emergency court order to keep the polls open later. (via Brendan Keefe, Atlanta News First)
one thing i have never stopped thinking about is all the photos of irish women flying home to vote in person to create the right to abortion may lexi's deliveries always be on time, her important emails never go to spam, and her lips never chapped
¡Bendita!
"We're hearing of another bomb threat at a polling place in DeKalb County where the fire department is waiting for the police to clear the building," reported Atlanta News First's Brendan Keefe. "The FBI says the previous threats originated from Russian email domains."
That commercial really got into their heads! “Bring any dudes you know, sight unseen - just none of those sneaky girls!”
I’ve been listening to old cowboy songs to stay mellow, but this has been my hype up music for so long…may this is be the last time.
I was just about to post. I have a friend who lives in Switzerland who flew back last night just to vote in his home state of Florida to protect abortion rights. Look for the helpers…
incredible respect for this
No girls allowed
After bomb threats closed five different polling places in Fulton County, Georgia, a state court is permitting some polls to stay open slightly later (via Sam Gringlas, WABE)
Love this
I hope Harris-Walz win for so many reasons. A big one is so that we actually take seriously as a national security priority the fact that we are already in a cyber/unconventional war with Russia--and for years now we've allowed Putin et al. to dictate the pace and terms of battle.
hell yes I outsourced my gotv ops to one of the nine guys on earth still playing diablo 4
give it up for Lexi, y'all
I actually don't believe it?
A second coup attempt could start within hours or days. Not a drill.
Every US Embassy should be a valid drop off spot for overseas ballots.
Genuinely glad to see the feds devoting more resources to hunting down threateners. True threats are outside First Amendment protection and are a huge deterrent to free speech and political activity. www.wlns.com/your-local-e...
My final report on canvassing: The vibes in NH are fucking immaculate, all but three of the people who answered the door had already voted for Harris.
Not a sign, just something I note.
Kind of a "and then not bomb a Walmart" vibe
I note that the Harris campaign's GOTV people haven't sent anything like this yet
Took the dog to run at the off-leash park. Saw a bald eagle in the trees. Good afternoon imo.
We can cure these ballots! These voters can cure ballots by text if they know there's an issue! volunteerblue.org/calendar/nev...

Btw if you're planning on spending your evening anxiously refreshing for results that definitely won't be in for a while, may I highly recommend joining a Mary Peltola phonebank instead? Last shift starts at 8PM on the East Coast, it's a highly competitive race, and you will feel better.

MISSOURI! Go vote for abortion rights and raising the minimum wage! And while your at it, pls vote for Dems downballot!
Netanyahu fired Gallant and replaced him with Israel Katz, the guy who said Lebanon isn’t a real country and that all Lebanon Shias are a hostile population What could possibly go wrong
We're doing this for our mothers. We're doing this for our daughters. We're doing this for everyone we love & for whom we want a better country. They lift us up & we lift them up in turn.
The only way any of the employees he tricked were gotten what they were owed is someone spoke to the press. www.wired.com/story/canvas...
........ tell everyone you know to get their election news from bluesky i can guarantee that none of our team members will be sitting with a presidential candidate and giving them direct access to control what you see online
My grandmother voting for Kamala Harris. Born 1918. 2 years old when the 19th Amendment was ratified. 47 when the Voting Rights Act secured her vote. Will turn 107 on inauguration day. She’s lived through it all, and she’s damn sure not going back.
Cool system!!!!!!
YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP. Slots are open until 10pm and voters *must take action today* to have their ballots count. Remember: These are people who wanted vote and have voted, you are calling to *help them vote.* events.democrats.org/event/684133/
The Trump campaign spent $134.38 on anti-trans ads for every single trans person that actually exists
450+ people on the ballot-curing call I'm on right now. When we fight, we win.
Technically they can cure their ballots even after polls close, so it's not a lost cause!
we are going to win

I get it, but that sounds really fucking rad also

NEW AD: Today, we vote for women and girls like Hadley. Donald Trump took away your freedoms. Kamala Harris will fight to restore them.
They sent Reps to Washington in 2010 who specifically said they'd grind government to a halt and then whined that the government wasn't working for them anymore. Never responsible for anything.
🤔
Unity is a nice goal but gives those opposed to unity power over your success. Obama was deeply committed to the idea of unity but Mitch McConnell wasn’t, for very strategic reasons, and there was no way to overcome that.
Signed up to do this during the final stretch tonight in hopes that we can push him over the line! Excited to support Senate races as my last electoral act this campaign.
So tomorrow, if you stand with us and haven’t voted yet, I encourage, indeed implore you to do so. It’s a red alert moment, all crew to their battle stations. Help us win this fight, which is the same fight as ages past, but reimagined for 2024. Be a part of the winning side of history.
The election officer, running a county polling center in California, planned to exclusively ID people who "looked" like they were "not here legally." Authorities say they are now investigating and have dispatched personnel to the center. Big ups to @dmehro.bsky.social for this one.
Friends, if you speak SPANISH and have a little time today, PLEASE sign up for this phone bank! This is a really, really important one!
why it's almost as if musk bought twitter to turn it into a right wing propaganda mill with the specific goal of undermining journalism and informed consensus in order to normalize, amplify, and validate authoritarian rhetoric and control
January 6 was not carried out by "rednecks", it was carried out by fascist entrepeneurs, business owners, realtors, lawyers. And more than half of those who entered the Capitol have never been arrested.
The way this Tressie McMillan Cottom reply blew my hair back…
College Republicans United recommends its members read several books, including antisemitic texts like "The International Jew" by Henry Ford and "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of ZIon" as well as works by Kevin MacDonald and Jared Taylor.

Donald Trump’s father lived until age 93 do not count on this man dying anytime soon, or leaving us an alternative when he goes this is our chance to make him go away, and we will not get another if he wins please take it
Q: I want to ask about you voting for Florida’s 6-week abortion ban ... Trump: Just stop talking about that
Hello, Bluesky! Today is historic! Proud of being a Black woman, HBCU grad (🐍🧡💚), and D9 (🔺🐘❤️!). I voted early by mail here in Michigan, and believe that we’re going to have a great day! 🗳️💙🙌🏿
my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.
alternative hypothesis: the Divine Nine do not fuck around
feels like a 1876 style crossroads. multiracial democracy on one path, 90 years of Jim Crow oligarchy on the other, except nationally this time www.nytimes.com/2024/11/05/o...
The benefit of voting in Philly? Free hoagie from Castellinos. This is serious, because their hoagies are VERY good.
Harris/Walz (and other Dem candidates) on the WFP line, yes on Prop 1, no on Props 2-6, let’s get it done
Five “non-credible” bomb threats at polling stations in Georgia’s predominantly Democratic Fulton County, CNN reports. Two stations were forced to close.

Pennsylvania Gen Z voter: I'm so excited that this is the first presidential election I get to vote in and it's for Kamala Harris, a candidate I love and fully support
From Ford's pardon of Nixon to Obama deciding not to prosecute war crimes by the Bush admin, no consequences means no justice. No consequences inspires more crimes. When we defeat the fascist we dance in the streets, and then -- after fair trials -- we throw him in jail for his MANY crimes. 3/3
“Liberals can use their EBT card elsewhere” Just the gutter bigotry party. Of course they booked Hinchcliffe. It’s what they are.
increasingly of the opinion that you should be automatically pulled over if a cop sees you on your phone while driving and not only because i spent 5 minutes on a one lane road behind someone who had slowed to 10 below the speed limit so they could scroll and drive at the same time
That took three hours but worth it to see Ted Cruz lose
Michigan voter: I voted for Kamala Harris. I have three daughters. Women's rights is pretty important to them. I'm sorry, I'm getting a little emotional. Their bodies, their choice. I want them to grow up in a world that's welcoming to everybody
I'm headed right now to vote for Kamala Harris. I hope you do too. I don't know how else to put this without sounding too earnest, or like an asshole, but you can't easily undo fascism. I am voting for her and expect to yell at her for good. Only under her administration is that a real possibility.
I DID IT, AMERICA!
"but he did electric cars" We paid rich people to buy his cars instead of doing real environmental policy. California's ZEV credit system shuffled $10 billion more to Tesla, ~$1 billion of which was based on battery swap fraud. He got a free pass on safety and environmental regulation for a decade.
I signed up for this because I realized it will be better for my mental and emotional health than constantly refreshing my browser to see if there are new updates.
Yes, Indiana, that’s YOUR Attorney General, refusing to sign a statement in support of “peaceful transition of power.” VOTE him out today!! Vote #DestinyWells
Once polls close, no leads change hands and no candidate surges. We saw how these invented narratives of jockeying for position were weaponized in 2020; we'd be well advised to avoid them in 2024. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
