Nine days left, and Lafayette, Colorado just proved one town can unplug a surveillance network. Imagine what all of you can do to Congress. Four letters for your Sunday:
Sadly, a lot of my friends quit attending protest rallies because of fear. I used to feel so safe and secure in America. The man in the White House has taken that away. His threats, intimidation and bully tactics have just worn thin with me. I continue to go to the protests because I refuse to live my life in fear. I read your substack every day, Scott, and it always gives me renewed energy to continue this resistance. If other everyday average citizens can fight this regime AND win, then I will continue to do my part as well. Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe! Vote BLUE in November!!
I'm a poll worker in the ruby red panhandle of Florida. We aren't really concerned about election interference from the feds here because this is one of their safe spaces. They may be more concerned if they knew how many INDs, NPAs and DEMs are showing up to vote. I'm hopeful that my congressional district somehow sends Gay Valimont to congress instead of that Shitler-sucking pig Jimmy Patronis.
Thanks for your tireless work. I often read stories and details from you that I don’t see anywhere else—and I consume a ton of news every day. I appreciate that you dig deep into sources that most others overlook and report out on that to help provide context and meaning for us. 💙👏
I am doing a lot for this election cycle! I donate everywhere I can (small donations under $100), I am picking up and delivering campaign signs in my community, door-knocking, hand-delivering candidate literature in communities and places that almost never get personal attention, I am a volunteer poll worker, I showed up at a local meeting recently and stated clearly that I expect that there will be NO armed people at the polls per federal law, and I am talking to my neighbors about the election and the candidates on our ballot.
I am unafraid, unintimidated, all gas no brakes through Election Day and what I expect will be illegal and unconstitutional meddling in results by a deranged and desperate President, his lawless administration, Republicans and their 💰puppeteers💰 through January 2027 when the new Congress is seated.
Fear is never ever the solution to a problem. We cannot be afraid to vote, no matter the cost. That is what real patriotism is. Be brave and vote. This is OUR country.
Long time ago I learned from veterans of the civil rights movement to speak in the first-person singular -- "I" -- instead of generalizing about "we." How much do you know about the risk some people run in order to vote?
Hi Scott. Your article about Flock cameras comes at a good time. I found a Flock camera at the end of my street. I’m trying to find out more information on who is responsible. I’ve alerted my state senator. What next? Who do I go to get it removed? I’m mad.😠 I will send in your letter. Thanks.
If you review how other communities have eliminated FLOCK CAMERAS, they seem to address the issue with the communities governing bodies, as well as the local police.
It would seem to be the responsibility of who's paying the BILLS.
Police departments are also employing DRONES that are frequently employed if someone runs away from the scene of an accident, as well as traffic control.
We have 16 days of early voting in Florida. At the early voting site in my red district, we must place and pick up candidate signs EVERY day so me and hubby are on it ! I’m also a canvas driver.
Wanted to share this very powerful ad with an Epstein survivor speaking out about Sen Steals-from-kids Ashely Moody.We need more of these ads for MAGA candidates in other states!!
I have volunteered to be a poll watcher for Defenders of Democracy, A Democratic Group, but I have recently come down with the flu, so I think I have missed the training sessions. Anyway, on Friday my last $25 dollars in my checking account was cashed by the Abdul El Sayed MD PHD for US Senate Campaign. My Postcards to Voters went out on last Tuesday. My vote went in even sooner and acknowledged as received and countable by the SOS office here in Michigan.

The people who already stood up this week didn’t ask if it was worth it. They just did the work. Nine days. Stay in it with us.
Yes! Also, talk to you in 15 seconds

Every person who refuses to look away is part of how this ends. Let’s finish it together.
The people are rising. Believe it. Also, prepare for a lot of sh*t to follow.
"All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force." - George Orwell
More Orwell please!
Love Orwell and the quote, appropriate for the epoch.

I’ve always thought that we should let the nurses be a big factor in determining how our healthcare system should be run.

Go Blue Poem
Our country is in turmoil because we are divided
Billionaires control politicians because of citizens' United
Republicans only care about their billionaire donors
They treat us common citizens as if we were all stoners
Millions of Americans are losing their health care
All because Trump and Republicans do not care
They are making it more expensive for health care access
This is what Trump and Republicans call a success
Trump is losing his unauthorized war with Iran
Our fuel prices are rising because he has no exit plan
Utilities and home heating oil are rising, and winter is coming
They are blaming Democrats but it is all their own doing
Our Middle East military bases are being destroyed
Military families are mistreated with their loved ones deployed
Trump and Hegseth are responsible for the mismanagement
Republicans are not doing their jobs in our government
Donald is already complaining about the midterm election
Trump and his party have done nothing to earn your selection
Early voting has begun in every state
Trump is trying to buy your vote with a rebate
Trump and Republicans fear a free and fair election
Trump fears he will lose protection for his corruption
Trump and the billionaires made billions while we suffered
ICE abuses and higher prices is all they offered
We deserve better than their lame excuses
There is no explanation for all their abuses
Freedom isn't free it requires citizens to fight
Voting is power and your constitutional right
Please restack and share my poems on FB and elsewhere so the message is seen. Thanks, Packy Paules

Ballot box monitor, have not observed anything concerning. I have observed a lot of voters dropping off their ballots which is GREAT!
Thx Sam and Scott!
Happy Fall🍂🍁
