It’s kind of comforting to learn we’ve all been in hell for a year.

The entire population of the country OD’ing on fent and being in hell together is much easier to come to terms with than a literal nazi coup by the most unserious, willfully ignorant people in the country.

• generated $82B in economic activity in California

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration.

So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY.

Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.
