@JessTheUnstill certainly

I’m so deeply uncomfortable with the rosy Threads view that this poll tax travesty will actually help voters like me. They’ve all forgotten it will mean flying 26 hours each direction for me to vote - and also that my vote in a firm affluent blue district doesn’t matter a ton federally. I want Pennsylvania and Ohio numbers.

I can’t help thinking about the brave black women who have bailed out Georgia on multiple occasions, and wonder how many of them will face local barriers now getting those documents…

Hell, when I was leaving the county, I had to go to four post offices because the fingerprint reader was broken at three just for a police check.

It’s a concerningly complicated math problem for everyone. And people are failing to take into account the weaponized incompetence and lack of staffing installed in the post office and state department which could effectively prevent many new applications from getting a passport by October.

Like, I get the “feels” about more left leaning voters having passports, or being able to afford rush processing in an understaffed state department, or that less democratic women change their surname but, left leaning districts are already discrete in the obvious figures. We care about swings.

I see a lot of “vibes” about it, but has a real nonpartisan data scientist analyzed by key swing states what the SAVE act may do to the midterms? Taking into account passports per capita, voter registration, married women voters, disposable income to get a passport, and postal delays?

If the nice Vietnamese lady at the salon can fix my acrylic nail without evidence of a break in 10 minutes, I think a spy agency can defeat your sparkle nail polish. Not a reason to not do it, but TMYK.

@scottley you really should it’s very entertaining if cringe teenage stuff

They absolutely act like every 17 year old cadet I ever met. Yes, they’re painfully cringe. You’re 30-40-50something and teenagers are cringe to us now, I’m sorry - it is what it is

@virtualbri describes a lot of my life

I’ve had it with weird nerds shitting on Academy so thankfully I’m a bigger weird nerd.

@hugo that’s… not really my read, no…

It’s 8 am and I need to go sit in a dark room before I punch someone
