As
of April, 59% of U.S. adults who are eligible to vote are Gen Xers, Millennials
or “post-Millennials.” Yet if past midterm election turnout patterns hold true,
these younger Americans are unlikely
to cast the majority of votes this November.
Time to break the mold! This year, everyone votes!
The only (peaceful) way to keep Trump and the Republicans in check, is to vote.

If you’re not voting against these people then you’re voting for them. You can’t bitch about what Trump is doing to this country if you’re not even attempting to do something about it.
listen i say this every time i see a voting post, but if there’s a barrier that keeps you from physically voting (like, you go to college in a different place than your permanent address, you have work/school, you’re home with kids, you’re disabled, etc) YOU CAN GET A MAIL IN BALLOT.
It’s called “absentee voting”, and over half of states don’t even require any sort of documentation for you to get one. You can literally just. Request one.And then you can vote by mail ahead of time, saving yourself So. Much. Stress.
Oregon has mail in ballots for everyone, and we consistently have high voter turn out, which is why I spread this info, every chance I can.
Note: Also, technically your employer has to give you a couple hours off on election day if you’re working more than a certain number of hours, but losing paid hours isn’t an option for a lot of people. So get on that absentee request!
I’m going to get political for half a second and say absentee voting is really easy!

[id: a flyer. “We are blockading I.C.E.
I.C.E. is an out-of-control paramilitary police force with an $8 million budget.
I.C.E. imprisons 30,000 people a day in over 200 internment camps around the country.
I.C.E. vans leave the processing center at 201 Varick Street and prowl the streets of New York City. They grab people from their homes, churches, and jobs. Starting now, we will halt the operation of I.C.E. at their Varick Street location.

What the hell is up with this?!
no idea but its scary shit
Reblog for your friends.
Everyone reblog this.
I don’t care if you don’t live in Texas or if you are skeptical about this post PLEASE REBLOG THIS! I live In Fort worth Texas which is only four hours away and the fact that something could happen so close to home and to my fellow Texans is heart wrenching.
i just got home and saw a message from a mutual i’ve never talked to, about a birthday gift. DONT CLICK ON THE LINK.i haven’t so i don’t know what it does, but i’ve heard it logs you out and sends you to a fake tumblr to take your information. it’s a hack. and it fucks up your computer/laptop/phone/device.
this is what the message looks like, and if you click the link, it sends it to every single one of your mutuals (or possibly ALL THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW YOU)
WHOEVER IS MAKING THESE VIRUSES, ARE MAKING NEW ONES THAT SEEM MORE REALISTIC. THEY ARENT USING CAPITALIZATION ANYMORE SO IT LOOKS MORE “REAL” BUT I SWEAR TO YOU ITS FALSE
PLEASE REBLOG THIS TO WARN YOUR FOLLOWERS, TO SAFE SAFE BECAUSE MORE ARE BEING MADE.
I fuckibg got this one too
( please don’t click this be safe guys)
Mmmfnfbbndbdnbudjbdhob sorry for spam
I got this a day or two ago. The people sending them aren’t aware of it, so if you get one, let them know, so they can try and fix it.
!!!!! Here it is
I got one. didn’t click because it seemed fishy af. Be careful guys
Just to let everyone know, I got this message today:
These spam bots are really trying hard to spread this virus around. Let people know you got this message so they can be safe and change their password and run an anti-virus.
Fortunately, I was able to get mine back. They’d been moved to a sort of ghost file system, and I just had to move them back to the regular desktop. The ghost file system is still there, and it’s hard to find things sometimes, but everything still exists. (And now it exists in a couple more places than it did before, just to be safe.) Not everyone’s been so lucky.
The update that happened a couple of days ago (today being May 24, 2018) sparked a whole bunch of new traffic to the thread. Now people are getting nonfunctional desktops, or black screens. The numbers of people who report having the same problem is up to 205. One of the people who posted in the thread was a tech guy who said that the same thing happened to eight of his customers, and the only thing he can do is pull their hard drives, copy the important files, and reinstall Windows 10. And the Microsoft people agree that yes, this is the thing that has to be done, even if it costs you money, even if they were the ones who caused it in the first place.
I guess what I’m saying is, if you’re using Windows 10, do not go gentle into that good update. Postpone it and back things up, preferably externally. Probably you’ll be all right, 205 out of all the people who use Windows is infinitesimal, but something is going very wrong with some of these updates, and Microsoft doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously, even though people are losing data.
This is happening to me and it’s suffering. Please please please don’t let this shit update until they figure this out
