“We have interfered, we are interfering and we will continue to interfere – carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do,” Yevgeny #Prigozhin said on Monday in comments posted by the press service of his Concord catering firm on Russian social #media.
Meanwhile...
Things are in frenzy mode with last-minute appeals to vote tomorrow in a big-consequence election in the (not really) United States.

Ralph Nader's Urgent Appeal: #Vote for Democrats
"This is an order of magnitude we have never seen before."
JEFF COHEN, NORMAN SOLOMON
November 1, 2022
..."Candor requires acknowledging that Democratic candidates for Congress are mostly an uninspiring lot from progressive vantage points. At the same time, they represent the only means available right now to halt the march of Republican demagogues into congressional control.
Ralph Nader's influence among some progressive voters could tip the balance. In some contests, the margins of victory could be just a few votes per precinct.
Disappointing—and sometimes infuriating—as the current Congress has been, the absence of Republican control has made possible the enactment of some very valuable legislation into law. Any such progress would come to a screeching halt if Republicans run Congress, as Nader pointed out while calling for Democrats to "compare and contrast life under the authoritarian bigoted corporate-indentured GOP with life under the Democrats."
For example, Nader said, "20 or 25 million people will get a raise to $15 minimum wage under the Democrats. The GOP is against that. The assault on children by the GOP is absolutely stunning, from not using available Medicaid funds to insure them, to exposing them to hazardous pesticides and denying paid family leave and sick leave. The GOP is against that. The $300 a month child tax credit to 58 million children in our country, cutting child poverty by a third, was suspended because of GOP opposition in January."
Nader was crystal clear: "Your choice in 2022, compare the Democrats and GOP, and the GOP is against every one of these, whether it's minimum wage, strengthening gun safety laws, taxing the wealthiest firms and the super-rich, guaranteeing freedom and equality for women, ending the dark money in campaigns, providing Medicare for all, raising frozen Social Security benefits, restoring voter rights, funding childcare and sick leave, fighting climate violence with renewable energy, reducing skyrocketing drug prices and increasing funding to prosecute corporate crooks. All of those are opposed by the GOP."
Type the proposed measure in the search. It's far easier to read than the brown paper text in the mail-in ballot.

Are you awake/woke/sentient?
If you loved the party of #TrumpVirus, how about an MTG-fueled cult of hollowing out American integrity? Of lies & hate?
Where lunacy is accepted as reality, like Jewish space lasers and other MTG pearls? Welcome to the #GQP cult nee 'party'.
Future of the GOP: Party of election deniers?
As Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to spout the big lie, we learn more Republicans are “mimicking” her and they’re getting big money for it. David Plouffe and Mark McKinnon break down what makes her so appealing to Georgia voters and what it says about America.
A Lack of Oversight in the Tory Leadership Contest Damages Democracy
The Conservative Party is selling leadership votes abroad for as little as £25. For those under-26 it’s even cheaper, a mere £5 to become a member and select the next Prime Minister.
This right to vote is a benefit offered to all party members of at least three months’ standing. Because voting closes in September, people abroad who paid up before early June have a say in selecting the country’s next prime minister, as appointed by the party in power though technically by the Queen.
Only around 160,000-200,000 in the UK may do so, and hardly a representative sample of the population at that.

Thin-sliced review:
#History in real-time.
⨊: Announced Monday evening by Lord #TrumpVirus himself, complaining that ‘this has never happened before!’ (#accountability anyone?) They’re raiding my beautiful home! To which the reaction was: no President has ever committed so much crime and flagrantly ignored the Federal Presidential Records Act law and stolen documents and things of that nature…
Here is historian Michael Beschloss on how Aug 8 was “historic”- twice now. Once before on this exact date in 1974, a reckoning with reality and #truth led inexorably to the resignation of Richard. Nixon. August 8, 1974. Game over. Fast forward Aug 8, 2022:
FBI searches Trump home on Nixon resignation speech anniversary
For a few years of grift and organized, #GQP sanctioned & enabled #sedition… it wasn’t an 18 minute gap but blatant criminal theft of US history. It’s what every President is told beforehand, US law meant to prevent pilfering secrets and public treasures of THE office.
Dr. Mary Trump just supposed her uncle is surprised. This has never happened before. (Imagining Seth Meyers: “MEL!”)
Trapped? Who can defend &/or offend? Mark Meadows! Um… Hey Florida. Hello, who is the governor? Why can’t the FBI be stopped? I thought you were my friend…
I concur with Beschloss ~ compared to Trump, Nixon looks like an angel.
And legal analyst Neal Katyal noted how this is historic in a legal sense too, beyond being a “president”, just the Boss & #GQP …
Historic because this is not only a case of bigly violating the Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, which can lead to prison &/or banishment from any public office… but it is an ex-President ‘like nobody’s ever seen before’, with a long, never-caught-yet criminal past, AND, it looks like DOJ is really rolling out, armed with every tool, every i dotted, t crossed.
And what is the "leader of the [brain] free world bellowing (not that the country is about him, is it?)
He is whining: “They took my safe!”
It gets stranger, maybe more predictable. (horse hoofs) Here’s wing-man Kevin McCarthy, saying he’ll sue the DOJ…
#Vote #MakeAmericaSaneAgain
Sounds a bit like some we know who reference the #TrumpVirus (hate-lies-division-anti-truth-voting-education) - and #tribalism -
I sure hope Lincoln Project (ex-Republicans, strong anti-fascists) call to action & the optimistic comments ring true, and happen.
There are more of us than there are of them. We will win.
IF we unite against the true "enemy" of democracy, the entire package: disinformation, cult messaging, tribalism, & criminality...
