there is going to be an arguably even more important election than the presidency happening on january 5th in georgia. the two senate seats in their state did not reach enough of a majority in this election to decide a winner, so theyre doing a “run-off election”.
if these two seats are won by democrats they will flip the senate to a MAJORITY for democrats. we will have the presidency, the house AND the senate if the democratic candidates in georgia win. the policies biden promised could have a better chance at being passed!
if you live in georgia PLEASE vote for the democratic senate candidates on january 5th
if you do not, i recommend donating to the candidates election fund! :)

Copying a Reddit r/politics comment here:
Republican Senator David Purdue has lost his 50%+ lead, resulting in a runoff election between Purdue and his Democratic Opponent John Ossoff. This means that control of the Senate is still in play for Democrats. There will be two run-off elections on January 5, 2021. If Democrats win both, the Senate will be split 50/50, with the tie-breaking vote going to VP-Elect Kamala Harris.
There will be a hyper focus on these runoffs by Republicans, because they know the control of the Senate is at stake. We must support our candidates! We can win -- Donald Trump won't be on the ballot driving up turn out for these races! We could not beat Mitch McConnell in KY, but we can still strip him of his position as Senate Majority Leader. Let's make it happen!

GEORGIA VOTERS, LISTEN TO ME.
Over 1,500 ballots in GA have been rejected and we are SO CLOSE to turning the state blue—every vote counts. If you did a mail-in or absentee ballot, go check that it was counted. If it’s been rejected, you can call the GA Voter Protection Hotline at 1-888-730-5816.
Right now, every single vote counts. Check on your ballot and make sure it was accepted.
If you are in Georgia or Nevada please make sure your vote was counted!!!!
i wish i had enough social media influence to encourage people to call the miami-dade offices, specifically their post office, and demand that the 27% of missing ballots be counted, seeing as miami-dade could flip all of florida blue, and then change the outcome of the entire election
i just discovered that the secretary of state is responsible for calling recounts!
call them here: (850) 245-6500
I called and they directed me to this number (850) 245-6536 !
an important note that i guess i forgot to specify is this applies to *MAIL IN BALLOTS that got held up at the post office

Some states are giving you til Friday to correct ballots, check yours now.
There is a rise in white nationalism that’s aligned with Donald Trump. It’s never been more important to make sure Bernie Sanders is elected.
Every vote is important to reach a majority of 1991 delegates before the convention (otherwise it’s almost certain Biden will be chosen), so please take action to help make Bernie Sanders the nominee. There’s everything to fight for!

The democrats ran a moderate in 2000 and lost. The democrats ran a moderate in 2004 and lost. In 2008 a new senator ran on a platform of universal healthcare and radical change, and was ubiquitously derided as a marxist and ‘secret muslim’. He won in both 2008 and his reelection campaign in 2012. In 2016 the democrats ran a moderate and lost. What does the future hold.
i want a restraining order on everyone who doesn’t wear deodorant
Deodorant is nasty. What do y'all think people smelled like up until 70 years ago??
Bad.
1. Perfume.
2. Soap. Yeah, they had soap from a pretty early point. Sometimes it was scented and sometimes it just smelled like lye, but there you go. Ditto scented powders, lotions, hair products, cosmetics, etc.
3. Whatever their clothes smelled like. Not always body odor. Linen was worn next to the skin with masculine and feminine clothing alike for a LOT of western history, to wick up sweat. I’ve worn a linen chemise under a long-sleeved Edwardian summer dress in Manhattan in August, and even after like six hours, my dress smelled faintly of the lavender it was stored with. My chemise reeked when I got undressed later, but none of the smell had escaped. No joke. Shit really works.
4. Occupational smells. A baker might smell of bread and faintly of sweat, a blacksmith of sweat and iron, a medieval priest of incense, a Victorian teacher of chalk, etc.
5. Yes, sometimes bad. But not everyone by a long shot, and not all the time.
Also they definitely didn’t want to smell bad, and used all resources available to them to avoid it. So, barring any allergies, use some damn deodorant.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act was passed in 1818 and makes it illegal for people in the US to “take,” which means killing, injuring, or possessing, migratory birds in most circumstances. That includes accidental take, such as in oil spills, bioaccumuliation of poisons, or building on bird habitat.
New proposed rules would make accidental takes legal. This change would mostly impact industries (and of course, the birds that they kill), and has nothing to do with people who pick up bird remains on purpose.
If you like birds you should probably speak out in favor of the MBTA. While those of us who collect feathers and such may find parts of it over-reaching, we also can’t just sit back and allow unchecked “industry” to kill swaths of birds in huge numbers with no penalty just because they weren’t killed “on purpose.”

Please understand that “accidental take” isn’t being proposed in order to protect you if you accidentally hit an owl with your car or have a secret little collection of found songbird feathers on display in your dining room.
I’ve worked for the the Division of Natural Resources. I’ve worked for the State Parks department, and I’ve worked as a bird rehabber.
Owls get hit by cars all the time. 9/10 of our raptors we treated at any time were car victims. No one is pressing charges.
And no one cares if you have a Blue Jay feather in your dresser with some cool rocks you found in a hike. We Don’t Care.
This proposal isn’t to protect you for these things.
Do you know who wants to be exempt from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act?
If industries like Oil and Gas become exempt from MBTA laws and aren’t taken to task for accidental take, they Will not take responsibility for this impact in the environment. In fact, they’ll only get worse.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act is one of the ONLY wildlife laws in the world that ACTUALLY has some teeth, as we say in Wildlife. Meaning, if you violate it, there may actually be consequences you can’t buy your way out of with wealth.
Do not let this administration change that. Tell them that they better not dare.
vampireapologist
Listen to me:
In 2015, oil companies fought against having to cover their waste pits with nets. A multi-billion dollar industry that couldn’t be bothered to spend the money. To take the responsibility.
They will not do good deeds on their own. The MBTA exists in the first place because of the greed that decimated our birds before, the greed that drove entire species such as the Passenger pigeon extinct.
Without it, greed will prevail again.
PLEASE leave your comment on the US Fish and Wildlife website and let your voice be heard. Speak for the birds.
Everyone knows he is not going to win.
He could actually be doing something good with that money.
today is the 02/02/2020 which is the same date backwards and that happens once in a thousand years so that’s cool

how a lot of you feel about coronavirus is how many chronically ill people feel every flu season
just for the record
wash your hands
measles is several times more contagious than coronavirus and can induce immune amnesia, making your immune system forget nearly everything it has fought before
the 2017-2018 flu season killed 80,000 people in the US

“A daffodil bulb will divide and redivide endlessly. That’s why, like the peony, it is one of the few flowers you can find around abandoned farmhouses, still blooming and increasing in numbers fifty years after the farmer and his wife have moved to heaven, or the other place, Boca Raton. If you dig up a clump when no one is nearby and there is no danger of being shot, you’ll find that there are scores of little bulbs in each clump, the progeny of a dozen or so planted by the farmer’s wife in 1942. If you take these home, separate them, and plant them in your own yard, within a couple of years, you’ll have a hundred daffodils for the mere price of a trespassing fine or imprisonment or both. I had this adventure once, and I consider it one of the great cheap thrills of my gardening career. I am not advocating trespassing, especially on my property, but there is no law against having a shovel in the trunk of your car.”
