With less than two months until the election, “Shut up and vote!” season is in full swing. Any legitimate criticism of the Harris campaign will be met with shrieks of “Why do you want to Trump to win?!”
The campaign managed the transition on such a short timeframe very well, except for Harris’s abysmal handling the current administration’s (which she’s a part of!) handling of the nearly year-long genocide in Gaza. Atrocities keep being revealed and met with shrugs. Not having a single Palestinian speak at the DNC was certainly a choice. Maybe ignoring them is the best political strategy, but it’s not the moral one.
Not that I’m some brave truth-teller. I could’ve done a whole cartoon about it instead of hedging my bets with only one panel tucked into the middle of a comic.

The Criterion Channel launched some great Halloween collections this week, the same week the Supreme Court began a new session. So I’ve been enjoying the escapism from real horrors with fictional ones.
Until the court’s expanded, or ignoring their unenforceable rulings becomes commonplace, these six freaks are going to do a lot of damage. (Unless two of them croak while a Democrat is President, before they say that’s unconstitutional.)
There are many, and far superior Halloween novelty songs than the Monster Mash, but it’s hard to top Werewolf Bar Mitzvah and Monster Fuck.

Taking a break from pointing out Democrats are beefing it again to point out Republicans are still evil.
While letting deaths pile up to blame on Democrats this fall, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doing lots of dumb stunts to whip up the base, and literally whip anyone who’s not his base.

Kemp’s getting the spotlight, but Republican governors and legislatures are pulling this stuff across the country. End the filibuster and pass the “For the People Act” before it’s too late.

ICE and the Postal Service are still run by rogue Trumpers. Seems like something a party with a trifecta could undo.
And they haven’t even gotten relief out the door. They’re taking the “honeymoon” thing a little too literally.

The Supreme Court has been rigging elections since I was first eligible to vote in a Presidential election in 2000. I was in college at the time and too lazy to vote absentee (Maryland and Massachusetts went to Gore, so don’t blame me.), but I learned my lesson and voted in every election since. For twenty years, massive turnout has been needed to overcome the voter suppression of Republicans and their Supreme flunkies, and this year’s obstacles are even worse.

Despite attempts to sabotage the Post Office, turnout for Massachusetts’ primary* on Tuesday was at an all-time high, thanks to early voting and cities and towns placing dropboxes to collect ballots that couldn’t be mailed in time. Naturally, voter suppression attempts will ramp up for the general, so register to vote, and get your ballots in and returned as early as possible.
*What a relief that Ed Markey won. Pelosi and the establishment wing of the Democrats would’ve taken a Kennedy win as a sign that no one to the left of Joe Manchin mattered and we’d be on our way to Austerity II and misery for years.
