#vote

I just remembered, if you can't #phone bank because of #anxiety and feeling like you are #annoying people and they get mad at you, you CAN #phonebank for #ballot curing. In this case, ballots will get thrown in the trash so you are saving #votes that people wanted to cast guaranteed.
People will be much more happy to hear from you then regular phone banking and its a lot easier for people with anxiety. Might even help get over some of the anxiety around regular phone banking once you get into the stride of it. Look in your area for that to help call people and let them know they have a chance to rescue their #vote from being wasted.

#MichelleObama says she's a 'little angry' at the hesitation to #vote for #Harris
Deepa Shivaram

..."I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn,” the former first lady said in her first appearance on the campaign trail with Harris.

“I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said.

Obama described Harris as a “grown up” with a clear set of policies, and said she fears “too many people are willing to write off Trump’s childish, mean spirited antics by saying, ‘Well, Trump's just being Trump,’ rather than question his horrible behavior. Some folks think he's funny.”
...
Obama pointedly named a long list of women’s everyday reproductive health issues – cramps, nausea, hot flashes, lumps, and pap smears – and said a second Trump presidency could have a “chilling effect” on doctors being willing to specialize in women’s health care because of abortion restrictions.

She spoke specifically to men in her remarks, emphasizing that further restrictions on abortion and other aspects of women’s health care would impact them and their sons, too.

“I am asking y'all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously — please,” Obama said. “Do not put our lives in the hands of politicians — mostly men — who have no clue or do not care about what we, as women, are going through.”...

An organization has novel way to get members to vote. But is it legal?

https://text.npr.org/nx-s1-5156313

In America, we encourage voting as a civic duty, but an organization with millions of members is taking that obligation a step further. It’s requiring members to vote — or potentially lose their membership and the financial benefits that come with it.

To the #leftists out there. You don't owe #liberals your vote, you don't owe them a damned thing, but you do owe #trans people, #disabled people, #LGBT people, #women, and disenfranchised people your vote. If you think Not #voting or voting #3rdparty will protect them then go ahead but if you have been paying attention to the election and the past presidency at all, you know that anything but a #Vote for #Harris will mean actively hurting all of these people. Both sides are complicit in genocide, but Trump will be even worse & everything I mentioned AND we will blow past 2C. this is not about voting FOR anyone. Its about making a chess move to protect as many people as possible. #Project2025 has people ready to hit the ground running to immediately start actively hurting these people. Also have fun losing all overtime pay, suckers.

"Parmi les amendements qui risquent à nouveau d’être proposés, plusieurs visent notamment les #associations dont les #militantes et #militants pénètrent dans des installations agricoles ou nucléaires pour alerter le grand public. L’objectif de ces amendements est de supprimer tout simplement le bénéfice de la réduction d’impôt pour les dons aux #associations concernées. Il ne fait aucun doute que ce sont directement #Greenpeace et d’autres associations lanceuses d’alerte qui sont visées.[...]
Les débats commencent dès le lundi 21 octobre et les amendements concernés risquent d’être soumis au vote dès le lendemain. Nous avons besoin de vous pour convaincre de toute urgence, d’ici au 21 octobre donc, votre #député·e d’être présent·e en séance au moment du #vote et de voter contre ces #amendements liberticides.

Elon #Musk makes his first appearance at a #Trump #rally and casts the #election in dire terms

Before a large crowd Saturday, Musk sought to portray Trump as a champion of free speech, arguing that Democrats want “to take away your #freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively.” Musk went on to criticize a California effort to ban voter ID requirements.
