I actually got a text like this last night, to which I responded: F*CK YOU without the asterisk.

      Seriously. Reregistering Independent ASAP which is what I should’ve done right after their complicity in genocide became clear.

        Check your state registration, but register unaffiliated/no party preference, not Independent. The American Independent Party has a bit of a Nazi problem.

      I received an actual email requesting a donation from the “Harris Victory Fund” two hours ago.

      Here’s the fine print from the email on where the money would go:

      The first $41,300/$15,000 from a person/multicandidate committee (“PAC”) will be allocated to the DNC. The next $3,300/$5,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to Harris for President’s Recount Account. The next $510,000/$255,000 from a person/PAC will be split equally among the Democratic state parties from these states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Any additional funds will be allocated to the DNC, subject to applicable contribution limits.

        Mine was from “Nancy Pelosi.” I wonder if we’re being messed with by MAGA types who want to make us madder than we already are, or just get us to waste our money. I wrote a whole long screed for Beehaw last night about this (about an actual text I received, not an Onion joke) then deciding it was too angry and rantish and deleting it.
