Dear @TIME:
US media get to point fingers ONLY AFTER OUR HOUSE IS IN ORDER. Focus on our own systemic racism.
For example, from @statnews last month:
statnews.com/2020/09/18/how…
For example

More than 10 percent of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians has had the coronavirus, and the tribe is bracing for a second wave and more devastation.

nytimes.com/2020/10/08/us/…
For example:

“suicide was the second leading cause of death for American Indians and Alaska natives between the ages of 10 and 34 in 2017” a rate 20 percent higher than non-Hispanic whites

I have no words.
Trump has scared these people into voting in person - when you can vote in Georgia by absentee with no excuse.

This is #voterSuppression but it's not the total story.

GA CHANGED THE BASE CODE ON ITS VOTING MACHINES LAST WEEK. DESPITE A COURT CHALLENGE.
GA has a brand new touchscreen voting system that malfunctioned in testing.

"the update was distributed to county election officials last week with instructions to install it on their machines."

EVERY ONE NEEDS TO VOTE ON PAPER.

washingtonpost.com/national/with-…
Voting machines BARELY delivered in time for primary, which was delayed due to COVID-19.

The GA Sec of State's office has a piss-poor record: their data center destroyed two hard drives with 2016 records WHILE THE ELECTION WAS BEING CHALLENGED IN COURT.

USE AN OFFICIAL BALLOT DROP BOX OR THE MAIL.

In 2020, GOP has set up FAKE, ILLEGAL DROP BOXES in CA.
In 2018, GOP candidate door-knocked and tossed ballots in NC.
In 2012, GOP door-knocked in King County, WA, offering to deliver ballots.

GOP: Party of Corruption. Image
The CA GOP has gone so far as to label their FAKE AND ILLEGAL drop boxes as “Official ballot drop-off box.”

So, yeah, President Trump. There may be problems with mail in ballots BECAUSE YOUR PARTY COULD BE STEALING THEM. Image
Ballot envelopes have the name of the voter on the outside. If a voter has declared a party, that information is part of their voter registration record.

Trump violated health advisories and the staff who helped put this together violated the Hatch Act.

How can we expect normal people to follow public health advisories when the president (plus other GOP politicians) flouts them?

#TrumpCorruptToTheCore
#VoteHimOut
The Hatch Act of 1939, An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, prohibits civil service employees in the executive branch from engaging in political campaign activities "while the employee is on duty, in any federal room or building"

Trump has thumbed his nose at political mores by holding multiple campaign events at the White House.

Looking (in vain) for public condemnation from evangelical leaders, "family values" Republicans of Trump's f-bomb live on Limbaugh's radio show Friday.
Ditto, FCC investigation.

middleeasteye.net/news/trump-ira… Image
The @FCC defines "indecent speech as material that, in context, depicts or describes sexual or excretory organs or activities in terms patently offensive" based on community standards.

FILE A COMPLAINT with Trump's FCC. Feel free to crib.

This is a lie by omission.
It is further evidence that Barrett, 48, should not be rushed through a kangaroo GOP Senate to be given a LIFETIME appointment to the SCOTUS.
She would be the 3rd youngest SCOTUS member.
In modern times, ages at nomination:
43 - Clarence Thomas (R, 1991-)
44 - Byron White (D, 1962-93)
50 - Elena Kagan (D-2010-)
50 - Antonin Scalia (R-1986-2016)
50 - John Roberts (R-2005-)
50 - William J. Brennan Jr (R-1956-1990)
In modern times, ages of SCOTUS justices at nomination:
50 - David Souter (R-1990-2009)
51 - Anthony Kennedy (R-1988-2018)
51 - Sandra Day O'Connor (R-1981-2006)
53 - Brett Kavanaugh (R-2018-)
54 - Arthur Goldberg (D-1962-65)
54 - Sonia Sotomayor (D-2009-)
