@lashman Oh! #MayorCheat declared victory because he won the coin toss against Warren for a split delegate! Now it all makes sense.

An interesting survey from #APM on US #immigration. Results seem to indicate that old, white, republicans say there are too many immigrants. Interestingly, on the depends free form response (page 15), is mostly republican with "fine if legal" statements. Combined with the "too many" response this seems to highlight a racist view. The survey doesn't appear to address that refugees and asylum seekers, the focus of recent Trump policies like MPP, are legal.

@lashman what's that you say? A disingenuous statement from a candidate known for disingenuous statements? Mayor Pete "if you don't respond to this email in 5 days you agree with everything thing we say and do" Buttigeig

@lashman with the IDP debacle can you believe that there are districts that want to go to paperless voting? It seems like a no brainer; no mater how the vote is taken the voter should have the opportunity the review a physical copy and that copy should be kept for verification purposes if needed.

In 2003 Belgium had a voting issue that was deemed an error due to a cosmic ray. Source:

Rolling back the protections isn't about jobs. "Mitigation banks industry directly employs more people than the coal, steel or logging industries."

@lashman "not doomed" and most electable are a world apart

Saying #Biden is the "electable candidate" is the same memetic branding as "Windows for business and Mac for graphic design". It's false. The DNC already ran a neoliberal centrist against Trump; she lost because a bunch of disheartened voters didn't turn out.

Look at his record: his hand in school segregation, his leadership in tough on crime lays, supporting trade deals, pro-war, bundling the domestic abuse bill with unrelated policies.

Even if he wins, it's just back to business as usual.

On my phone #spotify locks up or stalls playback while downloading content. So while I use spotify for ambient music, I prefer #AntennaPod for listening to a #podcast

@immychan you got one?!

To my internet friends mourning #brexit, look across the Atlantic for support. We in the US can empathize. We have a leader that lost the popular vote and has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accords, pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, scrapped a trade agreement with neighbouring countries, and dehumanized asylum seekers.

We share your pain in this moment of racist and lizard-brain driven leadership. We're better than this, and that's why it hurts so much to watch.
