Good morning

I’m sharing this post by Joyce Vance who writes the Civil Discourse Substack. Joyce was a federal prosecutor in Alabama during the Obama Administration, a talking head for MSNow, and an author. It’s about the executive order to restrict voting by mail. It’s long but I encourage you to read it. It is full of WCIDs and it will give you lots of talking points when friends and neighbors fear election security.

The Executive Order To Restrict Vote By Mail

Trump is still trying to suppress your vote

And then there is this from Robert Reich:

“For the next 135 days, our first and most important goal is to end Republican control of Congress, thereby limiting Trump’s reign of criminality, corruption, cruelty, and treachery.

This is a moral imperative for every one of us who believes in a decent society.

I know, I know — you’re exhausted. You’ve been doing everything you can to fight this regime — to protect the vulnerable, stop the bigotry, end the violence at home and abroad — and you feel worn out. I often feel the same.

But we have no choice. Trump is getting crazier and more dangerous by the day.

This means we must keep fighting even harder over the next 135 days — ensuring that Democratic candidates have our support (money, time, and energy),** that every qualified voter is registered, that Trump and his neofascist goons don’t interfere in our voting system, and that November 3rd’s blue wave is so large as to overwhelm any attempt by Trump to meddle.”

Make sure you are registered to vote, either in person or by mail and remind everyone you know. Tomorrow I will include information for those who want to work at the polls.
