Seriously, we are going to place *any* credence in the words of a woman named Heather Honey, who looks *exactly* like all the other Stepford Barbie’s of the regime? She’s going to tell us to “Bee Best” at the polls?
Edited to add: is that her porn name?
Again, sorry. It’s been a difficult weekend. And this timeline is the worst.
Well, all I can say is, I'm coming to my polling place this November STRAPPED. The Second Amendment exists for a reason. I mean, conservatives keep reminding us of that.
Do we need as law that enables people to civilly sue any individual or organization impeding their legal right to vote or interfering with the casting of their ballot at any polling place?
There is an expression that says in times of war, Truth and accuracy are the first casualties. Well, in the DJT era; truth is a casualty. What ever DJT and minions say, expect it to be a lie. The more such organizations that get out the word of any attempts at voter suppression the better. The more people that are educated and become aware about it the better.
Their lips move, they lie. Used to say this about a small number of people in this administration. The more of them I hear talking, I have revised my opinion. Their lips move, they lie, all of them.
It's a job requirement. It's the first question of their job interview. "What will you do when you are caught doing something criminal or otherwise? contemptible?"
Georgia. Trump and Stephen Miller will allege that undocumented immigrants have voted. To every extent they can, they will have obtained state voter lists so as to assert that at least some are illegal. They will then say an audit is needed -- after all, who doesn't like a fair election? -- and will send in the 50,000 ICE agents to confiscate ballots and voting machines. It will require at least two years, they will say, to audit all the voting. Select paper ballots will be mislaid. Can it happen? In Georgia, it already has. Of course it can happen. ICE agents have body armor and fully automatic rifles -- who is going to stop them from taking away the ballots and machines? This is the true horror.
The fact that Heather Honey said anything at all about anything at all is without meaning. They lie. They have lied. They will lie. They are liars. That is all.
I also googled 18 U.S. Code troops at polls to see what penalties forces could incur:
“18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits federal officials, including military personnel, from ordering, bringing, or keeping armed forces at any place where a general or special election is held. Violators face fines, up to five years imprisonment, and disqualification from holding office. Exceptions are made only to repel armed enemies.
Key Aspects of 18 U.S.C. § 592 - Troops at Polls:
Prohibition:
It is illegal for any officer of the Army/Navy or person in civil/military service to have armed men at a polling place.
Exceptions:
Armed force is permitted only if necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States.
Penalties:
Fines, imprisonment for up to five years, or both, plus disqualification from holding federal office.
Applicability:
This law does not prevent service members from voting in their respective districts.
Related Laws:
18 U.S.C. § 593 prohibits military interference with election officers, while 18 U.S.C. § 609 bans using military authority to influence votes or forcing troops to march to polls.
This statute is designed to prevent the military from intimidating voters or influencing election outcomes.
I am not trying to knock your statement. I just want to give you a couple more positive spins from several people I read. I hope they’re helpful. Truthfully, like you, I often feel like the rule of law no longer works, but these guys help reorient me to the course, most of the time anyway.
Marc Elias is another email I read who deals in a more positive outlook on what Trump can and cannot do per our 2026 Election. This particular post describes how Marc’s law firm continues to score wins within the Courts and within the Rule of Law.
I hope this link works. It’s lengthy and informative. It came to me in an email direct from Marc Elias:
I think we all tend to agree on that most of the time. However, I still check out Robert Hubbell’s Substack “Today’s Edition Newsletter” - he hasn’t abandoned the Rule of law completely. I like his weekly videos and I think his daily Substacks have hopeful, insightful comments about our current political era.
"Department of Homeland Security official Heather Honey vowed to election officials around the country that ICE would not be at the polls in November..."
Thank you Adrian. So, if big money donors are gun shy about donating, maybe little people can fill some of the gap. Who are the organizations doing the grunt work here?
Even if actual ICE agents aren't at polling sites, I can certainly envision militias and other groups wearing masks, body armor, civilian or military-style clothes, and carrying weapons showing up near polling stations to intimidate and harass people of color trying to vote. That's one of the dangers of federal law enforcement agencies dressing and acting as they have in the past year.
I was surprised at no links in the article so sought them out. I think it’d be great if other folks used your comment to share other orgs doing the work on the ground!
I should not have read this right before bedtime. But, I do appreciate the reporting!!
Amen to this-“Investing in our communities is investing in democracy for the long run,” she said. “Latino issues are everyone’s issues.” Eso es!
Why would anyone believe anything anyone from this administration says about anything?
I apologize in advance-

Write your answer in 25 words or less.
I will deny and lie, followed by denials and more lies.
"Mr. McNasty, welcome to the 'firm.'"
You did it! Under 25 words! Mr McNasty

This is all "rule of law" stuff. That no longer matters in this country.

Who could doubt the word of "Heather Honey?"

Okay. Nevermind
Thank you Adrian. So, if big money donors are gun shy about donating, maybe little people can fill some of the gap. Who are the organizations doing the grunt work here?
The two orgs featured in this article both have ways to donate. I just sent some money both of their ways.
Here’s the link to Mi Familia Vota’s donation page:

And for Black Men Vote:

I for one expect them to be like, “We said no ICE. We didn’t say no CBP.”
They may be struggling to find big donors, but we little folks can still help.
