If you are turned away at the polls, your response [verbatim] should be as follows: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”
Pass it on.

As disconcerting as it can be, it is a high privilege to live in a country where you don't know who is going to win an election tomorrow. Highly unusual in human history.

THREAD: What is happening in UK universities is astonishing. Right now about quarter of universities are laying off staff. Almost all universities expect to make a loss this year. And the entire thing is happening in an effort to deceive the population about migration statistics.

There is no greater gift in life than an excellent education.
Educators, thank you for your dedication to delivering that gift to your students each and every day.

91% of prospective college students disagree with DeSantis’ policies. 1 in 8 graduating high school students won’t attend college in Florida due to its education policy. 1 in 20 current college students plan to transfer. This is what brain drain looks like.apple.news/AOVxNK1tDSXSLkDiL… – at San Miguel De Los Bancos, Ecuador

Since I'm a dork, I will always remember Nick Bolton helping several of his teammates register to vote in Columbia during the summer of 2020.
He just had a game-changing play in the Super Bowl! #MIZ
ALT Nick Bolton speaks with an ABC 17 News reporter outside the Boone County Government Center in June 2020. He's wearing a black t-shirt with "Mizzou" written in gold letters on it.

The recent layoffs at Gannett, CNN, the Washington Post and others are devastating and a harsh reality of where the industry is.

DM us (open) and we'll get you set up. ✊

Watching BA2 in China and UK.
Shenzhen in lock down, signs pointing to Shanghai headed to lock down. (Pop. 25 mil)
Imagine impact to supply chain if China’s zero tolerance fails. (I worry it will)
Meanwhile, BA2 rising rapidly in UK, probably a new wave.
It’s not over.

With some extra time now, gonna hang with the fam, but before, I thought I'd ask us to be kind on social media.
Words have impact. We all can be better to each other--I know I can. So, think before the dunk. Think about folks' hearts and families.
Anyway, enjoy the sunshine!
