mallorys_cameraSo, it turns out that an organization exists that does EXACTLY what I wanted to do. Infrastructure already in place! Good news.
It's called VoteRiders.
Most importantly, in addition to providing a portal for state-by-state information about voter ID requirements, VoteRiders covers payment of costs associated with acquisition of necessary documents.
I haven't completed the vetting process, but the website looks great.
So, now I just have to figure out ways to support & promote VoteRiders' mission.
Because no matter how many awful things are going on right now—& make no mistake, at this point, the Nazi Germany resonance is unmistakeable—the absolute worst thing would be what if we can't get rid of Trump's enablers in 2026 and Trump himself in 2028 because we've lost the right to vote?
###
What I can't figure out is whether the economic turmoil is intended to be a distraction from the sub rosa erosion of civil liberties or the sub rosa erosion of civil liberties is intended to be a distraction from the economic mayhem.
###
Meanwhile...
Still behind on Remuneration. (Will the kiskas & I end up in a washing machine carton under the bridge?)
Notwithstanding which, I broke off in the afternoon & toddled off to the gym:
Working out makes me feel better. All those endorphins, doncha know.
And I was very melancholy yesterday. Not just all the geopolitical stuff but also the grey skies that never lift & the great pain of being human.
