Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States

They used PCAnywhere. One of the easiest thing to hack. Roughly 60% of all machines had remote access.

Y’all.

This is huge.

Oh. Interesting.

So to make sure they got their machines used everywhere, they essentially bribed election officials with trips:

Even more interesting.

The company is known to have had attempts at infiltration, but there was "no evidence that they altered the vote count".

That doesn't mean they didn't. Just that they didn't find any evidence.

The Dora Milaje have always been real.
This list also represents how badly white people have failed at ending cycles of violence they’ve committed.

#TheresePatriciaOkoumou is a Black Woman Immigrant.

She stood up when others wouldn’t. That’s not something to be excited about. It’s an embarrassment to everyone else.
It white people who created this mess.
It should be white people doing the heavy lifting, in non-performative ways, to clean it up.

And yet the list for white people who’ve put themselves on the line is much much shorter.

We could end lack of equity.

If we wanted to.

Cops just showed up in my neighborhood, locked up several of the corner boys.
They swooped in with unmarked cars, and surrounded a van where several of the boys were hanging out.

They pulled them all out of the van and sat them all down on the sidewalk, cuffed.

Then they opened up everything in the van and started questioning them.
They found a small bag of weed in the glove compartment, and after questioning them (which turned to them yelling at them), they called a paddy wagon and put two of them in it.
