Go out and vote.
"A Los Angeles area teacher who was captured on video punching a student repeatedly was released from jail Saturday after being held overnight on allegations of child abuse… A student is seen on cellphone video captured by students confronting the man, alleging that he spoke ill of the teen. At first Riley appears to be patient as the student curses at him, calls him a racial epithet, and challenges the man." (Grokked from Laura J Mixon)
"But a new paper by the same authors (Sci-Hub mirror) shows that the rising minimum wage generated major increases for the workers who had the most hours, whose hours were only cut a little, but still came out ahead thanks to the wage increase…" (Grokked from Laura J Mixon)
"A Washington state politician has suggested in a manifesto that all men who support abortion and gay marriage be killed, among other extreme religious views… Washington state Rep. Matt Shea admitted Wednesday that he wrote and distributed the four-page document, called the 'Biblical Basis for War,' which includes 14 sections on how biblical war can and would unfold. Shea, a Republican who represents Spokane in the state’s House, is up for re-election in the midterms next week." Marching, marching to shibboleth with the Eagle and the Sword. That's okay, Rep. Matt Shea, I've often wondered if we shouldn't have another Age of Martyrs which your types like to compare yourselves to. The "Christian" fascination with the God of the Old Testament never ceases to astound me. Because the New Testament is the new covenant between Christians and God. He threw out all the old rules and gave you a new handbook. You Christian types might want to check it out. (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)
What do you do when your faced with defeat? "Georgia's Secretary of State's office says it has launched an investigation into a 'failed attempt to hack the state's voter registration system' on Saturday evening… The office of Brian Kemp, who is also the Republican candidate for governor, said in a Sunday morning news release that they will investigate the Georgia Democratic Party as part of its probe, but did not offer any details on why it is investigating the Democratic party."

"As recently as Monday, computer servers that powered Kentucky’s online voter registration and Wisconsin’s reporting of election results ran software that could potentially expose information to hackers or enable access to sensitive files without a password." In network security you are only as secure as the weakest link in the system. (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)
"'Estimated 200 unregulated armed militia members currently operating along the southwest border. Reported incidents of unregulated militias stealing National Guard equipment during deployments. They operate under the guise of citizen patrols supporting CBP [Customs and Border Protection] primarily between POEs [Points of Entry],' according to the documents." (Grokked from Kathryn Cramer)
"The man who shot dead two women at a yoga studio in Tallahassee, Florida, on Friday before killing himself was a far-right extremist and self-proclaimed misogynist who railed against women, black people, and immigrants in a series of online videos and songs." (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)
"On October 24th, Takeyla Singleton, a housekeeper at a Best Western hotel in Cordele, Georgia, posted a two-minute video to her Facebook account. Earlier that day, Singleton, who is African-American, like the majority of the town’s residents, had filmed Royce Reeves, Sr.—a forty-six-year-old barber and an elected city commissioner—receiving a ticket for illegally parking a limousine on Highway 19. Reeves, who is also black, had recently borrowed the vehicle to take poor or unmotivated residents to the polls to vote early." Seven cars, a mixture of state and local police, responded to the incident… of a black man illegally parked. That's what official racial intimidation looks like. (Grokked from Xeni Jardin)
"Then the whole thing blew up. Cohen, it turns out, doesn’t actually exist. His real name is Jacob Wohl, and he’s a pro-Trump twitter troll and former teenage hedge fund manager with the dubious distinction of being the youngest person ever to earn a lifetime trading ban from the National Futures Association." (Grokked from Matt Staggs)
