MAGA ELECTION SCHEMES
[[link removed]]

By Curt Devine, Casey Tolan and Donie O'Sullivan
CNN

Activists have been priming Trump supporters to believe the only way
the former president can lose in 2024 is through fraud – and have
laid out proposals to thwart a potential Harris victory. Their plans
include challenging results in court, pressuring lawmakers to block
election certification, and encouraging protests – culminating on
January 6, 2025, the day Congress will once again certify the results.

SAFEGUARDING 2024 ELECTION INTEGRITY

By Terrence Williams
Security Info Watch

The importance of safeguarding our democratic processes from cyber
threats has never been more critical. The 2024 election cycle will
likely feature even stronger tactics, techniques, and procedures
(TTPs) leveraged by nation-state adversaries and ideologically
motivated hackers. 

MO ABORTION AMENDMENT

By Jordan Smith
The Intercept

Volunteers spread out across Kansas City on October 26 as part of a
coordinated get-out-the-vote effort in support of the state’s
proposed Amendment 3. The measure seeks to undo Missouri’s total
abortion ban that took effect less than an hour after the U.S.
Supreme Court issued its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health
Organization decision in June 2022.

MARK ROBINSON IS THE FUTURE OF THE GOP
[[link removed]]

By Hassan Ali Kanu
The American Prospect

Robinson’s only qualification for public office is a viral pro-gun
rant at a city council meeting. But North Carolina Republicans liked
what he said, and how he said it, and went on to nominate him for
governor _because_ he’s a hateful, unhinged bigot who approaches
politics like an apocalyptic carnival barker.

MUSK’S UNHAPPY CANVASSERS

By Jake Lahut
Wired

Workers say they were tricked and threatened as part of Elon Musk’s
get-out-the-vote effort. America PAC door knockers were flown to
Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to
pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised
they were working to elect Donald Trump.

SAVING CHICAGO YOUTH FROM PRISON

Prisonculture’s Newsletter

Organizing can be difficult and disheartening. There are always good
reasons to feel discouraged. But the population detained at Cook
County Jail is down _58%_ since 2013. Tens of thousands of people
over the last decade have not entered Cook County Jail in part because
of the efforts of abolitionist organizers.

B’NAI BRITH CANADA GUNS FOR THE PALESTINE MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]

By Davide Mastracci
The Maple

B’nai Brith Canada (BB) recently introduced a “Seven-Point Plan
to Combat Antisemitism.” BB lists four separate actions that should
be taken to achieve the widespread adoption and application of the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s
problematic definition of antisemitism: opposition to Israel’s war
on Palestinians. 

WHY DO CUBAN IMMIGRANTS TAKE TO THE RIGHT?
[[link removed]]

By Rafael Hernández
OnCuba News

How can it be explained that some Cubans, born and raised in a
socialist culture, when they arrive in the United States can suddenly
become fans of Trump and the Republican Party? Is it the ticket to
enter a political culture dominated by anti-Castroism? If so,
wouldn’t it be useful for them to identify with a liberal, centrist
or moderate current, like most Latino immigrants? Why precisely the
extreme right? 

ALAN MOORE: FANDOM IS TOXIC
[[link removed]]

By Alan Moore
The Guardian

Unnervingly rapidly, our culture has become a fan-based landscape that
the rest of us are merely living in. Our entertainments may be
cancelled prematurely through an adverse fan reaction, and we may
endure largely misogynist crusades such as Gamergate or Comicsgate.

FLETCHER AND PERLSTEIN ON THE ELECTION AND THE LEFT
[[link removed]]

By Marc Steiner
The Real News

One thing that became very obvious in the Obama presidency was the
failure of most social justice movements to really attempt to pressure
the administration. Harris is going to be under pressure from the
Republicans who have aligned with her, whether or not we are there.
