Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last election and I’m sure Russia will bring it back:

YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.

YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.

IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.

DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.

DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.

DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.

NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.

VOTE.

URGENT ACTION UPDATE 2: DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST ZARA KAY | Council of

31 December 2020 #JusticeForZaraKay #JusticeForZara #StandUpForZaraKay Zara Kay, an Australian citizen and

“Zara Kay, an Australian citizen and founder of Faithless Hijabi, was summoned to the Dar es-Salaam Oysterbay Police Station on 28 December 2020 and was held in police custody for 32 hours without an initial clear indication of charges.

“Zara is a well-known ex-Muslim and women’s rights activist. Faithless Hijabi, which she founded in 2018, supports women who have been ostracized or abused for leaving Islam. Whilst in police custody, Zara was asked about the work of her organization and why she left Islam.

“Zara was bailed on 29 December 2020 and told to return to the police station on 31 December. Her passport was also confiscated. This morning, at the police station, Zara was given permission to return on Tuesday 5 January 2021 with her lawyer. This is because stress caused by her initial police custody exacerbated Zara’s underlying health condition.  Late last night, Zara had to go to the local hospital where doctors reiterated her diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.”

716 billion dollars.  Seven hundred sixteen billion U.S. dollars.

One billion is equal to a thousand millions.  This is seven hundred sixteen billion.  This is an insane amount of money.

Think of the millions of human beings on this planet who don’t have homes, who don’t have jobs, who wonder whether they’re going to be able to afford to eat tomorrow.  Then think about the seven hundred sixteen billion dollars that we spent on the military.  Just in 2019.

This ^ source says it was 732 billion dollars from October 2018 to September 2019.  I’m sure you could find different sources listing 705 billion, or 720 billion.  The exact number does not matter.  The fact is that there are people dying of hunger while this unfathomable amount of money goes to the military.

This ^ source isn’t related to the military budget or other government spending, but I found it to be useful in helping to understand exactly how much a billion is.  We could help so many people with 716 billion dollars.

Kyle Rittenhouse murdered, and had intent to harm and murder.

Kyle was not stopped.

Kyle went home, and slept in his own bed.

Kyle was not arrested until way after the fact.

And we have to request his arrest and demand it?

Elijah just had an Ice Tea.

Breonna Taylor was sleeping.

Jacob Blake was checking on his children, and broke up a fight.

I could spend hours, even days, even months writing more names.

We are sick of your excuses America. Defund the police.
