I had no idea that North Carolina allows spouses to share a voting booth. Both must consent to that, but of course an abused (or otherwise scared or intimidated) spouse isn't going to complain.

@KamalaHarrisWin There's already been a lot of election-related disinformation, and over the next few days we're likely to see it ramp up even more.

@iftas has a detailed post at about.iftas.org/2024/10/29/5-w… covering key tactics in fighting election disinfo, starting with

THINK before you engage or share
SHARE accurate information about the election
REPORT disinformation when you see it

REAL TALK
had i not had #LongCovid and #cancer, i would probably be freaking about now, but am surprised with myself that am relatively calm.

i've been +20 years marginalized for blogging about American fascism. what has me calm is that even back in January a lot of mainstream journalists and the whole Democratic Party leadership still refused to acknowledge Trump is running on fascism.

the fact that just days ago NY Times had to acknowledge it?

FUCKING FINALLY.

In a phone call to "Fox & Friends", Trump admits he doesn't think of women as human beings.

"But he was hit by some of the strongest — not human beings, women. He was hit by strongest people. It wasn’t men, it was women. "

Elsewhere, Coinbase’s astroturfed “Stand With Crypto” lobbying group threw a Black Keys concert to benefit Bernie Moreno (R-OH). Perhaps because so few people showed up, half the audience were left watching the backs of the performers. “Weirdest gig we’ve ever played”, said the band.

Part 1 of 2.

The historically most accurate pollster in the United States is Ann Selzer. She only does polls in one state - Iowa, typically a very Republican state. For the last two elections her polls were outliers that turned out to be correct, showing that Trump's support was far stronger than expected in 2016 and Biden wasn't going to run away with it in 2020.

She just put out her final poll of the election showing Kamala Harris up by 3 points... in Iowa.

Simon Tisdall on the corrosive impact of Donald Trump:

'If Trump were to go mad on his own time, no problem. Unfortunately, by publicly projecting & displaying mental dysfunction daily on a national stage, he is driving America nuts, too – fans and foes alike. He brings out the worst in everyone, right & left.... [His] craziness destroys reasoned debate, splits the country into opposing camps (hence the dead-heat opinion polls) and sends blood pressure soaring'

I guess we're at the "Trump is openly calling for the murder of his political enemies" stage of this election...

...but remember, it's the Democrats who have violent rhetoric, like using the word "fascist" to describe an extreme nationalist racist wannabe dictator demagogue who (checks earlier in post) wants to murder his political enemies

‘John McEntee, a political adviser who served in the Trump administration and a co-founder of the conservative dating app the Right Stuff, posted a video on X…Monday in which he said: "So I guess they misunderstood. When we said we wanted mail-only voting, we meant male—'M-A-L-E.' Sorry we want MALE only voting. The 19th might have to go," he added in the video's caption, referring to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.’

He's wildly exaggerating stats, grossly distorting his opponent’s record & his own, regularly just plain making stuff up, he's lying to American voters with a frequency & variety whose only precedent is his own previous campaigns.

He made 1,000s of false claims as pres., esp. during crises & elections -never been a pres. who's lied this much. "1st pres. to consistently seek to create a sep. reality -inventing stories out of thin air-."
