"There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see, but there is some. There's more than one would think."
I've had this #cartoon in my files for decades. It's no longer a cartoon but the reality half of Americans voted for.

It's polling day in the US! 🗳️
We've heard the queues over there can get pretty long, so remember to take a snack and some water when you head out to the polls.
Take time to understand what you are voting for. This is an important moment for yourself, your family, and the people in your life.
You can keep up with discussion in the @uspolitics Feed or stay up to date on all things Harris in the @KamalaHarrisWin Group.

"Pollster Celinda Lake says the gender gap is causing marital tension - thus ads like this."

Ballots are secret. Many women are voting for Harris, despite their prior voting record & party affiliation.

Just vote early. It frees up volunteers to knock on other people's doors. And it's really not that hard. Just vote early.
(An insta share. Joshua Doss has great stuff. I don't think he's here but if I'm wrong I'd like to know.)

"Muslim faith leaders endorse Harris"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/kamala-harris/muslim-faith-leaders-endorse-kamala-harris-rcna174190
"A group of imams endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in an open letter shared first with NBC News on Sunday, a critical boost as she steps up her efforts to win back disaffected Muslim voters amid the Israel-Hamas war."
For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.

#TimWalz reply excerpt
“…I see a candidate out there who refused…he lost the election. This is not a debate. This [reality doesn’t exist]…anywhere other than in Trump’s world. When Mike Pence made that decision to certify that #election, that’s why #MikePence isn’t on this stage.
“Where is the firewall? If he [#Trump] knows he can do anything including taking an election, & his VP’s not going to stand up to it?…Will you [#JDVance] keep your oath of office, even if the president doesn’t?”

Judge #Chutkan, in her ruling, emphasized that #Trump’s political concerns over the timing of the #evidence release had no bearing on the court’s decision. She noted that the judicial process must proceed without regard to the #election calendar, stating, “what needs to happen before or shouldn’t happen before the election is not relevant here.”
Chutkan's order also denied Trump’s repeated requests to #delay the pretrial schedule, ensuring that the case will continue to move forward.

But perhaps equally importantly, do engage with your friends and family members who are still on the fence.
Having these conversations can be challenging and awkward, but there's too much at stake to worry about that.

#Chutkan’s decision gives the government an opportunity to lay out new #evidence against #Trump, though how much, if at all, they will choose to reveal in the run-up to the #election remains to be seen.
In court, Trump defense attorney #JohnLauro had sparred w/Chutkan over the schedule, arguing that the next 2 months is a “very sensitive time” before Republican nominee Trump faces the Democratic nominee, MVP #KamalaHarris, at the polls.
