Reiterating that Musk's literal voter bribery last time was an unambiguous go-directly-to-jail felony, for which people have been successfully prosecuted over vastly smaller amounts. It wasn't just pouring money into a PAC, whatever one thinks of that. It was a black-letter plain-as-day crime.

Content Warning for Sexual Harassment and rape culture (as that's also a huge part of all of this) Solid thread by Naomi Kritzer on what's been going on with Mayor Her, and it's uh. Not great. Pretty horrifying actually.
Naomi KritzerIf there's been an article anywhere that rounded up all the allegations (and miscellaneous other stuff) about Mayor Her, I'm not finding it, so I'm going to make a thread.
I feel like what everyone knows about is the "good weinering" text. That's been in all the news coverage. (This article includes a screen shot of the text, redacted to remove the face of the cop she photoshopped in.) kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

This racist piece of human garbage voiced support for Neil Gaiman, a known sexual predator, just this past month and he STILL got to go to this movie's premiere? Where's the justice?
Cosmic MarvelFrank Miller praises ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’: “The most Ditko movie yet and with my Hand in it for all to celebrate. This fan’s dream come true. Tom Holland is my forever Spider-Man as romantic as he is heroic. Congratulations to Destin and the whole team.”
It's just kinda funny how Dems do in fact have deep, consistent rural strongholds. All over the US! And even most Professional Rural Understanders I've run into just... can't see them. Or figure out how to work with them and build on them. For some reason haha it's so crazy
want to address this one because it’s a common misconception. this whole thing is entirely astroturfed transphobia, and if “good faith” people bought it they never looked into the science (there is no physical advantage for trans girls over cis girls) or the fact that this was a settled matter
chrisvlsdunno. there's a difference between public performative political discourse and personal views... yes, the campaigners are all bad faith, but I certainly know cis parents with gay kids who do in fact see tough issues in girls sports but give no quarter on passports, ids, jobs, bathrooms, violence...
A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

But instead of taking that as the rules of the game as it exists, and actually organizing, we complain about it.
