Trump is not going to go to jail since that would impinge upon his duties as president. How about 5 years of probation, during which he is prohibited from doing things outside the responsibilities of the president, playing golf. If you have a day free to play golf, you have a day you could be in jail. So, no golf, you got president stuff to do.

@k9ox @PragmaticAndy it is unlikely that anyone there knows that it you have a claim on the domain. Perhaps you should remind them

Fun to see the people who say “America First” and mean “whites first” fight with the people who say “America First” and mean “money first”

@marick they annoyed @RonJeffries

'Bodies are piling up': Reporter finds GOP-led states are hiding abortion ban death toll

Some Republican-led states that passed near-total abortion bans have mysteriously stopped collecting statistics on maternal mortality over the last couple of years — and some observers suspect it's not a coincidence, wrote Susan Rinkunas for MSNBC.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

@w7voa Trump, being a moron, believes the DOE is mostly about oil. When in fact they are responsible for developing and maintaining our nuclear weapons

Reminder: RFK Jr caused a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly children.

RFK Jr and his non-profit visited Samoa to lobby the government and spread misinformation that reduced measles vaccination rates.

He may now lead the top US health agency.

[EDIT: answer has been found, thanks! No need to boost further! Mastodon rocks!]

Can you please boost this question so I can reach a wider audience?

Does anyone out there have a paperback copy of "The Second O of Sorrow" by Sean Thomas Dougherty?

I need to know the number of the page that the poem "Why Bother?" is on.

Thanks in advance!

I think we forgot one important lesson: It’s the economy, stupid

@RonJeffries we are thinking about a new car before the tariffs

@GeePawHill see you tonight

@GeePawHill you doing okay?

IMPORTANT: If you’re turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away.

Your response [verbatim] should be: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”

Don’t let them steal your vote.

Trump refusing to come out on stage for his Raleigh, NC rally because so many seats are empty.

Edit: he eventually came out on stage but apparently seems extremely exhausted and defeated.

PLEASE RT THIS SO AMERICANS RESIDENT OVERSEAS LEARN OF A LITTLE-KNOWN WAY TO VOTE ABSENTEE AS LATE AS ELECTION DAY!!

I’ve mentioned here before how my Texas absentee ballot was, erm, never received by the Tarrant County Clerk. I gave a call to the always helpful AARO - Association of Americans Resident Overseas - and the always helpful staff there told me of something that, in 17 total years of living abroad, I never knew:

The US Federal Government provides what AARO refers to as an “emergency absentee ballot”. It is available online at https://www.fvap.gov/.

It is good for Service members, their families and overseas American citizens. You download the ballot, enter your personal information and your state, then the candidates for federal elections like President/Vice President, Senator, Representative; and even state offices you wish to vote for.

Print it out, follow the instructions. Go to your local post office and depending on your state, when you have it postmarked by Election Day it will (purportedly) be counted. Spell everything correctly. Be clear. Type if possible (the ballot may be filled in on your computer. Sign with a wet signature. Use the page provided to construct a security envelope. Put that in an envelope addressed to your district clerk (find it online).

Vote.

This MFer doesn’t understand how much Black people are protective of Michelle Obama. Come at her you come at all of us.
