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.

Ignored No More—Indigenous Voters May Be The Difference In 2024
It is going to take ALL of us to get democracy back on track. And it should because we all should have a say in how that goes.
Sub teacher that re-enacted George Floyd’s murder identified as Wisconsin police officer
Teaching kids about Thanksgiving or Columbus? They deserve the real story
Improving this country includes – nay, demands – we teach our story better. More factually, more inclusively, more truthfully.
Trump’s ‘God Bless the U.S.A’ Bible Was Made in China
It is always a grift. Trump’s bible – and, boy, are historians gonna have fun with *that* – is made in China. You know, the country we are supposedly in a trade war with thanks to Trump. The existential threat to our economy. Yeah, those guys.
Never mind the whole notion of a sin-ridden politician selling bibles for personal gain….
Speaking of things that should not be, the Secretary of Ed in Oklahoma has mandated bible training in public schools. Guess which “good book” is the only one approved? Yeah, the Chinese-made “Trump bible“.
It. Is. Always. A. Grift.
Sen. Mike Braun said interracial marriage ruling should be left to states
I remember back in 2000, after we got married in Oklahoma, some state rep tried to ban interracial marriage. Even the Republicans at the time thought that was too extreme and the idea died early in committee.
Well, those days are dead. The GOP is coming for my marriage and those of a lot of you.
North Idaho senator yells ‘go back to where you came from’ at Native American candidate
Just in case you aren’t sure where the GOP stands on minorities in this country.
This isn’t a new idiot on the scene. He’s been the senator for the area known for white supremacist enclaves for eight years now. And is a former cop.
Bathrooms with a view: Cutting windows into student restrooms is a new level of weird
Local elections matter.
Remember that.
If you don’t pay attention, you’ll get a bunch of nuts on your school board and those morons will think it is very cool to put windows into the school bathrooms so randos can watch your kids take a leak.
For safety.
Yikes!
More Bands Pull Out Of “Shell Shock II” Due To Kyle Rittenhouse Booking
So, the Shell Shock music festival decided to make murderer Kyle Rittenhouse an honored VIP guest.
Guess some of the bands didn’t care for that much. Even the ones who want to avoid politics (good luck!) wanted no part of that.
Not everyone is a bloodthirsty nut but the MAGAts are so into their bubble that they don’t get that.
