Caitlin Johnstone End of Illusions

So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is.

If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say he is, and if he had unlimited time and unlimited resources to create the perfect ninety-minute propaganda video to discredit the US-led unipolar world order, he could not have designed one more effective than the performance that was just delivered by President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden with the help of moderator Chris Wallace.

Florida Voter Suppression

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s call for state and federal investigations into billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s effort to raise millions to pay off court fees to help Florida felons restore their voting rights was a “gross abuse” of power, “voter suppression,” “a fear-mongering tactic used before” and based on a “fundamental misconception” of anti-corruption laws, according to experienced campaign lawyers and former federal election regulators.

Florida GOP to Fight Amendment 2 Which Would Boost Minimum Wage

Two state Republican leaders added their voices Monday in opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment that would gradually boost the minimum wage to $15 an hour in Florida.

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Joe Gruters, a state senator from Sarasota, and incoming House Speaker Chris Sprowls of Palm Harbor, described the ballot initiative as “a Trojan horse,” “a trapdoor,” and “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” that will bring to Florida “failed policies

Jessica Marx Part-Time Witch In Ybor City

Jessica Marx is a full-time shop girl and a part-time witch living among the mortals in Ybor City, Florida. She uses her powers of divination and enchantment to help deserving customers at her boutique find love, turning special articles of vintage clothing into time machines, portals to other dimensions, and wearable glamour spells. Even though she’s still a new witch, her love spells seem to work (sort of) and Jessica gets a boost of good vibes every time she helps make a love connection. Too bad Jessica can’t conjure a love spell for herself.

Asher Edelson For School Board

Ed Letourneau, A member of the Mount Anthony Union School Board is under fire on social media over recent Facebook comments relating to Blacks, the Black Lives Matter movement and liberals. HERE

 

I may run for his seat, or another seat on the Bennington Supervisory Union (MAU School Board). I always aim to be civil and collected when disagreeing with people who share different views; I followed such a practice in my online interaction with this person, and I received nothing save hate & vitriol. People who served in elected office should strive to practice decency, even with constituents they do not agree with. I believe that the Bennington community deserves that, in our School Boards of all places, and that is one reason why I plan to run — maybe this upcoming March of 2021.

Stay tuned, and groovy

These concerts will be limited to 100 people regardless of governors order. Our first priority is to keep Staff, artists, and all of you safe. Even though we will be doing these small events, it’s still important that we continue to lobby Congress for a funding package to #SaveOurStages. Even as we get permission to reopen around the country, the damage has been done. We will ALL need funding to make it out of this. HERE

We kicked off our virtual phone bank this weekend! It’s such an easy, fun and home-based way of volunteering for our campaign. We have ten people calling like-minded voters, each with a goal of 50 calls to be made sometime this week. This covers a whole precinct.
