Yesterday, Common Cause reported that the Supreme Court had legitimized Glenn Youngkin’s illegal last minute voter purge in Virginia. That’s huge news, so you probably saw it. You may not have seen, however, that Common Cause is now on the ground in Virginia working to get all of them who are eligible re-registered. Virginia is a same-day registration state, so this is not impossible, just staggeringly challenging. They are accepting donations at commoncause.org<\/a>. Also, Carrie Burton (NannyCarrie from Care2 and a long time follower here) sent me an email about a program\"\" her grandson Peyton is working with<\/a> about which she is justifiably proud. (This may be a good time to introduce a new emoji I came up with for “tissue alert.”)<\/p>\n

TC used to like to say, “The Reich on the left<\/a> is right,” And that certainly is true of his analysis in general. When he speculates on thinks which might happen, it’s more difficult to assert “he’s right.” But this is certainly a speculation about which I hope,I hope, I hope he’s right. Incidentally, it also contains a photo which immediately reminded me – whay on earth would anyone ever think that white skin is superior to, or even more attractive than, other skin colors? Yes, you may consider that a barf bag alert.<\/p>\n

I suspect this, as reported by Wonkette<\/a>, has been going on for a long time, actually. But now is definitely the time to encourage more of it. And, in this connection, it would not just be for abortion and voting. Nofault divorce is also under attack.<\/p>\n
