It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

Actor Harrison Ford endorsed VP Harris:
“I’ve been voting for 64 years but I never wanted to talk about it..but –when dozens of former members of the Trump Admin are sounding alarms, saying for God's sake don't do it again, you have to pay attention”

In March 1945, a few weeks before we defeated Nazi Germany, the regular informational pamphlet Army Talks, sent to all U.S. soldiers and officers in Europe, was a primer on fascism. It’s remarkable to read now. For obvious reasons. archive.org/details/ArmyTalk…

It's important to note that Trump supporters (and Trump) have the mindset and insults of 1980s middle schoolers, but with the guns and hate of failed adults.

I am extremely displeased to see Amazon Business now marketing to AWS account emails (that have marketing preferences all set to opt-out).
I promise you, AWS does not want customers to start viewing all communication from them as spam.

180 candidates for Congress

5 Sec of State
100s of local election board supervisors
& Donald Trump
The REAL "threat to Democracy" is local

Why does Trump *seem* refreshingly honest to many Americans? In this pod w/ @Jamie_Weinstein, @davidfrum explains. To summarize: Most pols try not to outright lie, so their answers sound evasive; Trump is willing to lie, so his answers don’t sound evasive podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This man did more to hold Donald accountable than the media has in the last eight years.

I supervised a school lunchroom for 20+ years. It’s pretty simple: kids can’t learn on an empty stomach.
That’s why I signed a bill making school meals free for Minnesota students, no questions asked.
Instead of banning books, let’s ban hunger. Happy National School Lunch Week!

And to add the this, I've realized Autodesk Fusion license plans have changed more than the software itself in the last 4 years 😂

It’s deeply disturbing that a major U.S. politician, who has 796,193 constituents, is actively pushing imaginary conspiracies about the weather.
Either she’s an incredibly good actress playing someone unstable who doesn’t reside in our shared reality — or else it’s not an act.
Everyone keeps asking, “who is they?”
Well some of them are listed on NOAA, as well as most of the ways weather can be modified, because they are required to report it to the Secretary of Commerce by the Weather Modification Act of 1972.
The NOAA government website has a library catalog of 1,026 entries of weather modifications, but that’s not all of them.
If your home or business or property is damaged or a loved one is killed by their weather modifications shouldn’t you be eligible for compensation?
After all, did they ask you if you agreed to our weather being modified?

Many traditional housing affordability measurements (home prices, rates, incomes) don't also factor in property taxes and home insurance
The latter—home insurance—has been the biggest pain point for homeowners / landlords

This speech by Judge Matthew Barrett today in sentencing Tina Peters to 9 years for tampering with voter data was brilliant. What struck me most was that it almost word for word applies to Trump. Worth a listen.

I'm in the process of re-assembling the Magpie project in Ondsel/Freecad release candidate 1 with A2Plus and Assembly 4.
It's important that open source hardware be easy to edit with open source software.
