Not sure how much traction this is going to get but here’s an idea floating around the Golden State.
Well, there’s a plot twist

What Republicans Are Planning for Our Kids
Just in case you weren’t sure what’s about to happen in this country, here’s a couple of previews.
African-American students are getting this shit texted to them:
And women are being reminded of what conservatives think of them and their opinions.
As a reminder, eggs aren’t gonna get cheaper and gas prices are a market thing. You made this country worse just to hurt people. You will be reminded of that to your dying day.
Well, it was a good ride I guess
“You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you!” – Colonel Geoge Taylor, “Planet of the Apes”
Oh, I know. The sun comes up, the globe still spins.
I mean, I *am* a pessimist. I generally see the worst in things though my wife and son have helped with that.
But we’ve got a rapist felon heading back to the presidency and – if nothing shady happened – millions of folks put him there because this country just CANNOT fathom the concept of a female as president.
That’s it.
No policy arguments (there are none), no economic angle (Republicans ALWAYS fuck up the economy and yet always seem to get a pass on that). Ethics? Morals? Religion? The guy likely raped a 13 year old girl. You really want to go there Christians?
Nah, I just feel bad for the kids. My kid.
We collectively fucked their futures over in so many ways. And hell, their present to boot. A few will actually die from this, or be violently abused and harmed in ways we haven’t even thought of yet.
They deserve better. All of them. Instead they have us.
U.S. intel officials say Russia is behind attempts to smear Tim Walz
Russia is spreading lies about the guy who might be our next vice president.
Gee, who benefits from that?
Trump.
You know, the piece of shit threatening to jail or execute anyone on his enemy list.
You can be a lot of things and support Trump, but one of those things is not a patriotic American. Never that.
From rodeos to radio, inside the Arizona fight against misinformation
NPR – when it isn’t airing Trump without any editorial content or clarification that he’s lying – is trying to highlight stories from swing states.
I mean, I want to wish them well, but they have been SO bad over the past decade, at least, but let’s give them this moment.
I’ll highlight some of these stories because they apparently need the encouragement to do the right thing. I gave up being a sustainer a few years ago and I don’t regret it much.
Anyway, here’s a story from Aryzona, where Spanish language radio is part of the process of getting the real story out this election year.
Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
Not sure you needed another reminder/reason, but don’t EVER hand over the goods to the authorities. Remember: they do NOT work for you. “Protect and serve” is a marketing campaign, not their job.
Trump deputy campaign manager identified in Arlington National Cemetery dustup
Red letter day folks.
NPR decided to not side with child killers and Trump apologists and actually named names of the trash that assaulted an Army member at Arlington National Cemetery when Trump did his illegal photo op.
Don’t hold your breath but maybe they see the value in backing democracy? We will see.
The Right Hates Kids. It’s Weird.
I mean, at some level they hate everyone. Even themselves. But, yeah, going after kids should be a deal breaker. But way too many Republicans are absolutely fine with this behavior.
Here is more of a breakdown of the worst voices from that side. One has already been taken off air. Which ain’t much but at least someone is having a bad day.
Conventional Wisdom IX
In which a discussion on freedom, and joy, and taking back what it means to be an American is discussed.
