@cdarwin@c.imSo far, the president’s plot to subvert the integrity of the midterm elections looks like this:
Issue a rule requiring states to give lists of mail-in voters to the Postal Service if their citizens hope to receive mail-in ballots.
Knowing that this is a blatantly unconstitutional seizure of the states’ prerogative to run their own elections,
count on a federal court to block the rule.
Then challenge the injunction, arguing

@erikdelareguera@mastodon.nu”I Stockholm ligger områden där miljardärer flockas inte sällan bara några kilometer från platser där misären breder ut sig, som ett slags Skandinaviens svar på Mumbai.
Av någon anledning görs sällan kopplingen mellan dessa förhållanden och det område där Sverige kanske utmärker sig mest: kriminaliteten.” https:…

But do thy worst to steal thyself away,
For term of life thou art assured mine;
And life no longer than thy love will stay,
For it depends upon that love of thine.
Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,
When in the least of them my life hath end.
I see a better state to me belongs
Than that which on thy humour doth depend:
Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,
Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie. …

@stefan@gardenstate.socialWhile Atlanta City FC is a dumb name, it is also so mid that I don't think it will cause a revolt as bad as BOS Nation.

@deabigt@universeodon.comTo me, the most disturbing part is how news outlets keep reporting as if elections are decided by donations rather than votes. Almost like they think we believe every ad we see, so the most ads win.

@hex@kolektiva.socialAnd the answer will be "fine" as long as "the military" is thought of as a block that is treated as an enemy of the left. In the Russian case, leftists intentionally joined the military to radicalize units. In the German case, conscription meant that leftists ended up in the military radicalizing people.
The US is different, intentionally. Vietnam changed a lot. While some people resisted the draft, others rolled hand grenades into their officers' tents. Fragging commanders was a huge problem. After the end of the war, the US military adapted by ending the draft.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging
The US military works hard to brain wash recruits, yes. There are *a lot* of controls in place to minimize the probability of the type of revolt that has been part of other revolutions. One of those is "merit based" promotion. But, as we know from the Vietnam War, evrn that breaks down.
And it's easy to forget, or ignore, but the military *does* sometimes radicalize people or people radicalize themselves in response to their experiences in service. Smedley Butler is perhaps one of the more interesting examples, but there have been plenty. Aaron Bushnell should be at the top of your mind, as should Chelsea Manning (and perhaps others like Reality Winner).
Lots of people join the military for reasons other than patriotism, and some of those who join because of patriotism see what the US really is as part of their service. Support our vet comrades. Support those doing the work of trying to radicalize service members. Keep an open mind when talking to folks in the military today. Welcome comrades who are still in the military and have come to realize what's happened. And, most importantly, listen to those who have served to understand other things you can do to support service members who are in the process of rejecting their indoctrination.
