A Maya Angelou quote beneath a black and white picture of Maya Angelou herself. The text reads "Every voice is equally powerful. Don't underestimate your vote. Voting is the great equalizer."
At some point I'll talk about why I make it a priority to learn about and vote in every election I can. But for now understand it comes from this idea and the training my mom gave me: your vote isn't just about you, your interests and your preferences. You have to consider how they'll impact others.

"[I]n the U.S. system, I recognize that I’m never simply voting for a candidate, but always voting *between* candidates. It’s a choice to usher in the least bad of possible futures… I vote for the enemy I want. … I will vote for Kamala Harris." — Ed Yong
Maybe you couldn't vote in 2017 but can today. Maybe you don't remember Trump's Muslim ban either. If you think "they're all the same, I'm going to sit this election out" then we hope you'll think again. (Alt text and panel descriptions at the link.)

Dear mail-in voters,
If your state's return deadline is Election Day (Nov. 5), the U.S. Postal Service recommends that you mail your ballot by Tuesday (Oct. 29).
Sincerely,
The reporter who wrote this:

He also instructs the DOJ to prosecute:
- election-related offenses criminally
- interstate drug activity "including simple possession of distributable quantities."
- mailing abortion pills
- "discrimination in violation of constitutional and legal requirements" (in a section about DEI programs)
Day 55 of posting about Project 2025
In this chapter on the DOJ, a former DOJ/DHS lawyer who helped end DACA recommends ramping up immigration enforcement, counteracting criminal justice reform, enforcing the death penalty, and stopping FBI anti-disinformation activity.

It's got to be a tidal wave of blue or you'll have to endure vote challenges and mini-January 6s all over the country. Pick a subject you know matters to that indifferent friend and send them a quick comic to read. Project 2025 IS the entire administration pool for Trump! stopproject2025comic.org
Trump's Project 2025 wants to torpedo the National Oceanic + Atmospheric Administration - home to the National Weather Service + their literal storm warnings in a time of surging Climate Crisis. Read the comic, share, VOTE. stopproject2025comic.org/comic/extrem...
We hated feeling powerless to help in the upcoming election, so we contributed to the incredible @stopproject25comic.bsky.social anthology. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a perfect summary of all the shit republicans have planned. Share it with any undecideds you know!
Tuesday, November 5th is your last day to vote…but you can vote right now in many places as well!
Go do it. It matters.

Remember that Trump has already said that Tom Homan, his former acting ICE director and a Project 2025 author who said in a new interview that “families can be deported together,” is “coming on board” a potential second Trump administration: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
In Project 2025's vision for the future, any trans person’s story would be labeled as pornography. And according to Project 2025, “Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned."

Russell Vought is, of course, one of the authors of Project 2025.
After a rally which even the timid, and often cowardly, New York Times called racist, it's worth reminding you what Trump has in mind for you if you're not obviously white and aggressively Christian. (Alt text and panel descriptions at the link.)

A fundraising drive for the Election Protection Hotline.
Not a US resident or US citizen? Hate all the major parties? No problem! You can donate!
Then watch 8 minutes of nerd jokes about open source software and how programming skews your brain, and none about politics.
Imagine having to survive a Category 4 hurricane
- with no federally backed flood insurance
- with no NOAA or National Weather Service
- with no federal funds to help your state and local govts
That's all in Trump's Project 2025. He's rich enough to ride out a storm. Are you?
