"The Empire cannot win. You'll never feel right unless you're doing what you can to stop them." - Cassian, _Andor_ season 1, episode 1
The whole "we must have courage to resist the Empire" theme - plus the obvious references to "illegal immigrants" on Mina-Rau - make the Andor show uncannily relevant to today's political situation in the USA.

The child is valiant in his attempts to withstand the onslaught, but no one offers to help: the other students stand transfixed by the action.
A few minutes later, the Principal sees what's going on, and pushes through the crowd. Instead of breaking up the fight, though, the Principal joins the bully in beating up the overwhelmed child.
the child = Velenskyy/Ukraine
the bully = Putin/Russia
the Principal = Trump/US
Donald Trump has said a LOT of dumb things, but "Ukraine should never have started it!" just might be the dumbest of them all.

31.12.2024 17:59Good riddance, 2024.Consider the following quiz:
1. Name any current member of Congress (either chamber).
2. Name any current Supreme Court justice.
3. Name the current Secretary of X, for any value of X.
4. Name the current Attorney General.
5. Name which party currently has a majority in the House.
6. Name which party currently has a majority in the Senate.
If an American takes this quiz and gets a zero (can't answer any question correctly) should they be able to vote for President?

Here we go into election week, and I feel pretty good about it. I've put most everything I have out onto the field, and haven't kept much on the sideline. I've spent many hours volunteering, and have spoken up in most of the situations that arose, even losing some friends in a few cases.
I haven't been perfect, but my conscience is pretty clear. Now it's up to the American people...

1. Get the most electoral votes.
2. Defeat whatever lawsuits the RNC files to try to overturn results, stop counting prematurely, nullify ballots, etc.
3. Persevere boldly (and peacefully) through any acts of intimidation or even violence that Trump supporters may engage in to try to overthrow the result by force.
Can they do all three?

Eight years ago I voted for Jill Stein as a protest vote against the Democrats, and have regretted it every day since. I know that many of you have very strong feelings about the U.S. policy position on Gaza, and those opinions are legitimate and must be respected. Consider, however, the damage that will be done in many quarters if you choose to evaluate the two main Presidential candidates as "equally bad" regarding this cause or any other. Please, vote #KamalaHarris.
