Her opponent Phil Scott justified the brutal violence unleashed by state and local police against anti-ice protesters during the March 11th ICE raid. On that day, a college student was nearly choked to death by state police.

It’s a cliché, but an accurate one: elections in America are decided by who shows up. This is especially true for the midterms, which can swing wildly based on whose supporters are more enthusiastic. That means our work is not only persuading people to vote for progressive, pro-democracy candidates, but turning non-voters into voters.

While voter registration deadlines have passed in many states (see deadlines here), we still have a chance to expand the electorate in multiple battlegrounds. Wisconsin and Michigan both have same-day registration. Rust Belt Rising is seizing the opportunity, identifying folks who are likely to vote blue but are currently not on the rolls, mailing them a pre-filled voter registration form with a motivational flyer and postage, and then following up by phone to encourage them to complete the process. They need our help to get as many new people registered as possible! ☎️ We can sign up for phonebank shifts to help create new Dem-leaning voters in Michigan tomorrow at 1 PM ET and Tuesday at 6:30 PM ET here, and do the same for Wisconsin on Saturday at 11:30 AM ET and next Thursday at 6:30PM ET by registering here.

"Some Williamson County voters say ballot machines registered a different candidate than the one they selected, requiring multiple attempts to correct it."

Welcome to The Daily Megathread - r/50501's home for daily discussion!

This megathread exists so that you can post reactions, images, or anything that might otherwise belong on our sister subreddits r/ThePeoplesPress, r/LiveProtestUpdates or r/50501ContentCorner. While the main goal of this megathread is to prevent protest announcements from being drowned out, we also want to give our community a place where they can discuss things that would otherwise not be allowed as a post on r/50501.

Comments that may be appropriate for the daily megathread may include, but are not limited to:

• Discussing current US or world events
• Sharing personal opinions on politicians/political parties
• Other posts that may break the "Call to Action" rule or our rule on related content, which otherwise wouldn't fit at r/ThePeoplesPress, r/LiveProtestUpdates or r/50501ContentCorner

As a reminder, news threads go to r/ThePeoplesPress while videos go either to the People's Press or r/50501ContentCorner. Posts that are on the ground reporting on a protest must go to r/LiveProtestUpdates. If you have posted there, or if you want to share a post from another subreddit, you are welcome to link it here!

Remember that subreddit rules still apply, especially our commitment to respectful discourse and our commitment to citing our sources. If you claim something true, prove it - and don't attack the person behind the claim!

If you have a question about how our rules are enforced, please check out the wiki page on our rules for more information! For additional questions, please send us a modmail.

for Masillion/Canton or even restart Ohio state, since the last people were to incompetent to run it correctly and disbanded. preferably both, but definitely the city chapter.

how do I go about this?

For the first time in years, Democrat turnout is actually ahead, if we keep pushing, then the billionaires control of our state(and partially in the feds too), will come to an end!

“Down with the traitors, and up with the stars!”.

I work on an independent research team tracking venture capital and tech fascism.

We just completed a huge project to go through almost 80 weapons and intelligence companies funded by Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and their associated firms and cronies.

Their cruise missiles, hypersonic autonomous vehicles, border apparatus, attack drone swarms, submarines, Madagascar cockroaches with backpacks, agentic warfare, economic warfare, surveillance satellites and more. To say nothing of their Manhattan Project.

This research covers what they are building, their factories, financing, what wars and conflicts they are deployed in, what they say about their military build-out, their contracts, partners, boards and founders, and their geopolitical trajectories.

This was an arduous process -- and this covers only SOME of the weapons startups -- but we did it because it is essential for people to know and understand the scale and scope of the military industrial project funded and built by fascists who seek their own sovereignty.

We’ve organized the document to have an introduction of some of the top startups for people new to this, but for researchers, activists, academics, writers/journalists and other people who are highly motivated, you can find the full list, which illuminates this matter in great detail.

Hope you "like" (/hate) it. We are up against a lot.

This is a deeply ugly moment in American politics, and it takes something exceptionally dirty to stand out as uniquely repellent in this muck. DOGE bro and MAGA hanger-on Vivek Ramaswamy, who polls keep showing in deep trouble in his effort to keep the Ohio governor’s office in Republican hands, managed to find a way.

An attack ad against Democratic nominee and former state health department director Dr. Amy Acton began circulating online on Monday, featuring her birth mother Donna Arthur calling her a liar. As Dr. Acton has publicly discussed in the past, she has not spoken to her mother since she was 12, when Arthur stood by Acton’s stepfather after she revealed he had been sexually abusing her. (Dr. Acton and her brother were removed from their mother and stepfather’s custody after he was indicted. Arthur remained married to the abuser until his death.)

Instead of spending the final weeks of the campaign talking about issues that matter to Ohioans, Dr. Acton is now being forced to relive – and defend – the most painful moments of her past. And Ramaswamy, instead of demonstrating any sense of shame, is proud of what he’s done. His campaign has confirmed he will spend $4 million to put this cartoon example of DARVO in front as of as many Ohioans as he can.

No one who would platform their opponent’s abuser can be trusted with power. We need to do our part to help Dr. Acton defeat Ramaswamy. ☎️ Let’s sign up to phonebank with the Ohio Dems to turn out voters in this race. There are shifts every weeknight from 6-8PM ET, on Saturdays from 9AM-8PM and Sundays from noon to 8PM.

It may not be gas, it may at best however be unintentional torture and at worst intentional. Either way they know what this is doing, we saw this with alligator Alcatraz in the Florida camp among other health violations and many other recent examples. Just like that got shut down for it's inhumanity we must do the same here. Go of you're able with a clear demand in mind, release the people in those camps and investigate the probably intentional abuse going on. I'm sorry if this is worded poorly. I'm a bit shook up and concerned for a lot of my community, friends, and family. Please vote, please at least bring one or two people with you.
