I started an AI simulation last night - two conservatives and two progressives work together to increase the US democracy from a score of 37 out of 100 to something that works better for _all_ people not just the wealthy. They agreed on 7 proposals to bring the score up to 60%. If only it were that easy.

#uspol Early voting (midterms primary runoff) started at 7a this morning here. I showed up ~4 minutes later. Had my vote case (five different races) and was out the door four minutes later. I imagine actual election day won't be too bad but figured I'd get things done before heading to Tek so I wouldn't have to worry about coordinating things later.
It pains me to say, but I think useful political discourse cannot meaningfully exist on Mastodon. I don't wish this to be true, but the streets is the streets and, well, this is the closest thing to an HOA gated community I've seen in social media.

In what fucking reality has Trump had military victories in Iran?
Re: #uspol
Trump’s daily declarations about how the war is over or almost over or will be over in 30 seconds or there's a ceasefire hiding under the next rock or whatever? That’s all non-information, just a conveyor belt of nothingburgers he feeds the press for them to dutifully regurgitate.
But •this•? This is actual news.

Another long day at the polls yesterday. Arrived 5:50 am, left at 9:10 pm (polls open 7 to 7). 704 ballots cast at my precinct. Steady all day. I don’t think anyone waited more than 5 minutes to check in.
Unfortunately, GA is one of the very few states that requires runoffs in races where nobody got 50.0001% or more of votes in a given race, so we’ll do this all again in 4 weeks.
Still an important job and I’m happy to do my part.

It's the White House that's saying this so I am guessing that an end to the war will be announced on Friday and then they will announce that the war is restarting on Tuesday.
"The White House believes it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue."

If ICE is going to refuse to obey the law, the Milwaukee PD has to start arresting them.
“Four months after the package was introduced, a small group of ICE agents from Illinois arrived − many wearing masks − and arrested 39 people during the agency's nationwide push to increase detentions from late June to early July. A federal spokesperson said its agents would not follow Milwaukee's law, describing council members as "sanctuary politicians."“

This kind of behavior from the dipshit is just gross.
"Employees of the US Department of Agriculture, the State Department, and the Department of Labor, who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation, say that they were disturbed when the app appeared on their phones. Some attempted to delete it, but to no avail.
“I deleted it as a test and it came immediately back,” says an employee from the USDA."
