Also, check with your state if it has a website to do so. The website above said I wasn't registered to vote in my state of Washington, but checking the Washington states voter portal it said I was still active and even said when ballots should be expected to be sent out.

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.)

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

SCIENCE BEGETS TRUTH✨

the single most funny thing happened today in germany's recent politicial history. fucking trumpian ego ultra-conservative friedrich merz failed to become chancellor by SIX votes. never happened before, it just does not happen, but not even his own coalition wants him. nation-wide humiliation while former chancellor angela merkel from his own party, president of the friedrich merz hater's club, sat in the audience, watching them read out how he FAILED to become chancellor by SIX votes. absolutely hysterical events.

casual reminder before tomorrow arrives that abstaining or voting 3rd party instead of voting for harris is THE most selfish thing you can do. i know you think you are doing the right thing, but i cannot emphasize enough that these two candidates are NOT "equally bad." palestinians will be in significantly more danger if that criminal shitstain wins, IN ADDITION TO every other minority and less privileged person. if you really and truly want to prove your motivation is to stop the harm of others, then you MUST put your ego aside and do the uncomfortable thing. this is not the time for a boycott. this is not the time to dig your heels in the sand and claim you can't possibly go against your morals. the truth of the matter is that palestinians will be safer if you vote for harris. as a queer woc, with so many friends and family whose well-being is at risk, i will feel more betrayed by you than by the people who vote for trump, bc we are supposed to take care of each other, and yet you'd rather watch us burn than do the uncomfortable thing. abstaining is nothing but a selfish, holier-than-thou, performative act. if you abstain, then you are actively causing harm, and if he wins because of it, those of us who can use our common sense will never forget how much you fucked us over. if he wins, more people (including palestinians) are going to get hurt, and that blood will be on your hands. do the uncomfortable thing. it's a better show of moral integrity than abstaining will ever be

Söder saying the church should stop expressing political opinions this much bc that church is now criticizing his "Christian" party hits another peak level of ridiculousness

I feel like we should all be a lot more concerned that there are people calling for the deportation of others who are just exercising their right to question the president's actions
