Posts on Trump’s unwarranted attacks on voting by mail

He lies all the time about voting by mail. There is no fraud. He is just setting a basis for interfering in upcoming elections. This will wind up in the courts like the rest of his illegal actions.

There it is: Trump, "We are going to END mail in voting."

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election.Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

Mail-in voting is secure and essential for military families, seniors, caretakers, and rural Americans. This push to limit access to the ballot box is just Trump's latest attempt to undermine our democracy. http://www.axios.com/2025/08/18/t…

Hill: Trump asserted in his Fox interview there were no countries in the world that allow mail-in voting. Well, Russia allows mail-in voting.

worth saying that if republicans are increasingly reliant on low propensity voters then “we must make it as difficult as possible to vote” is not going to work well for them

Trump lies about mail-in voting, claiming no one else does it. CNN: "Dozens of other countries use mail-in voting …."www.cnn.com/2025/08/18/p…

Mail-in voting is vital to ensuring people can exercise their right to vote, especially those with disabilities and transportation challenges.President Trump's attempts to discredit mail-in voting and voting machines are designed to undermine elections where he doesn't like the results.

You know what this means. An all out attack on mail in voting. When Putin speaks, Trump acts.

Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

Bluesky posts on physical media

I am a big believer in physical media.

Physical Media Is Cool Again. Streaming Services Have Themselves to BlameCollectors new and old tell Rolling Stone there's nothing quite like the feel of holding your favorite art in your hands.

Zach Cregger says there has been no luck on getting a physical media release for ‘BARBARIAN’“I have banged the drum, made phone calls & tried my best to get some sort of physical media. I'm not making headway & it kind of bums me out”(Source: youtu.be/La59OCTmUdc?…)

Bluesky posts on the decline of local newspapers

🧵 Imagine living in a county without reporters—no one covering school board meetings, local clinics, even zoning decisions. That’s reality for over 1,000 U.S. counties. Ohio now has just 7.9 local journalists per 100k residents down from ~40 in 2002. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/14/w…

So depressing. Dozens of rural newspapers shut down in latest disappearance of local journalism

— Charles Ornstein (@charlesornstein.bsky.social) 2025-08-17T22:51:50.606Z

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
