He\u2019s doing this even as Kamala Harris is denouncing Mr. Trump as a \u2018fascist\u2019 and Hillary Clinton is likening his Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden to a 1939 gathering sponsored by the pro-Nazi German American Bund.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PA: \u201cA new Supreme Court case could change the result of the presidential election\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/scotus\/380170\/supreme-court-pennsylvania-election-republican-genser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vox<\/a>].

Though it\u2019s hard to pin down exactly how many voters will be impacted by this decision, it\u2019s likely that thousands of Pennsylvanians will regain their ability to vote in the November election if the state supreme court\u2019s decision remains in effect\u2026 On Monday, the Republican Party asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and effectively disenfranchise the thousands of voters who will be allowed to vote if the state court\u2019s Genser decision stands.\u201d \u2022 Important and worth reading in full, both for the math (17,000 votes might get tossed out) and the explanation of the Independent State Legislature Doctrine.

Unaffiliated and third-party voters have boosted their numbers even more, from 11.9% in 2009 to 15.7%\u2026.

Moreover, another 83,000 people who were registered as Democrats in 2021 have switched to being unaffiliated with a major party.

It relies on the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), or the \u2018Motor Voter Law,\u2019 which bars \u2018systemic\u2019 removal of voters from the rolls less than 90 days before an election.\u201d As Jebbie did for George in Florida 2000, though well before 90 days. More: \u201cGov. Glenn Youngkin ordered compliance with existing laws, citing Virginia code 24.2-439, requiring the removal of noncitizens whose names were added under false pretenses. It also cited Virginia Code 24.2-1019, requiring registrars to immediately notify their county or city prosecutor of such situations. The NVRA has exceptions for removals within what the Justice Department calls the \u2018quiet\u2019 period before an election, including the removal of individuals who are \u2018ineligible to vote because of a criminal conviction or mental incapacity, or for \u2018correction of registration records pursuant to this chapter.\u201d However, the state argues as a threshold matter that these are not systemic removals. The state argues that these are individual actions triggered automatically by citizens identifying themselves as noncitizens but then joining the voting rolls. It is a crime for a noncitizen to vote in the election. The state notes that the voter is notified of the problem and allowed to correct any errors to remain on the rolls. If they do not correct the problem, they are removed from the rolls. However, they can still vote on election day with a \u2018provisional\u2019 ballot to challenge any removal.\u201d \u2022 Hmm. <\/p>\n<p>WA: \u201cArson destroys hundreds of ballots inside a Washington state drop box\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstatestandard.com\/2024\/10\/28\/arson-destroys-hundreds-of-ballots-inside-a-washington-state-drop-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Washington State Standard<\/a>].

Yet when it commissioned a poll on threats to democracy shortly before the election, it did not quite work out. Voters in swing states believe that Trump is more likely to protect democracy than Kamala Harris, who is running on a \u2018save democracy\u2019 platform. The [Post-Schrar] poll sampled 5,016 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. When asked whether Trump or Harris \u2018would do a better job\u2019 of \u2018defending against threats to democracy,\u2019 43% picked Trump while 40% picked Harris. Notably, this was the same result when President Biden was the nominee. While over half said that threats to democracy were important to them, the voters trusted Trump (44%) more than Biden (33%) in protecting democracy. Even with the slight improvement for Harris, the result was crushing for not just many in the Harris campaign but the press and pundits who have been unrelenting in announcing the end of democracy if Harris is not elected.\u201d \u2022 Oopsie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Acquisitions: 1933 and the Definition of Fascism\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/acoup.blog\/2024\/10\/25\/new-acquisitions-1933-and-the-definition-of-fascism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry<\/a>]. An analysis of Trump\u2019s rhetoric that takes it seriously, and literally. \u201cThe American system is a fair bit more resilient to this sort of takeover than the Weimar Republic or the Kingdom of Italy, but resilient is not immune \u2013 such an effort could succeed and even if it failed could do tremendous damage. Fascists, after all, rarely leave power without violence \u2013 this one didn\u2019t leave office non-violently last time, you will recall. And please believe me when I say I do not want this to come to violence, by anyone, at any point. As I\u2019ve said before, attempting to \u2018win the stasis\u2018 \u2013 the Greek word for political violence \u2013 by out-violence-ing the opposition is a losing game that just tears apart the social fabric. But it is not yet 1933. It is still 1932: the train has not left the station yet.\u201d \u2022 This is perhaps the most reasoned case for the prosecution I have been. But the author Eco\u2019s famous checklist for fascism, and I\u2019m scanning down it. When I think of Democrats I check off #3 (\u201cThe Cult of Action for Action\u2019s Sake\u201d [Ukraine and Israel policy]), #4 (\u201cDisagreement is Treason\u201d [Censorship Industrial Complex, the organs of state security generally]), #5 (\u201cFear of Difference\u201d [\u201cdeplorables\u201d]), #6 (\u201cAppeal to a Frustrated Middle Class\u201d [PMC careerism]), #7 (\u201cThe Obsession with a Plot\u201d [RussiaGate]), even #8 (\u201cThe Deceptively Strong\/Weak Eternal Opponent\u201d [\u201cPresident of all the People\u201d vs. half the people are deplorables]), #10 (\u201cContempt for the Weak\u201d [eugenicist Covid policy, genocide]), and #13 \u201cSelective Populism\u201d, and #14 \u201cNewspeak\u201d (identity politics jargon). To be fair, the Democrats aren\u2019t animated by #1 (\u201cThe Cult of Tradition\u201d), #2 (\u201cThe Rejection of Modernism\u201d), #9 (\u201cLife is Permanent Warfare\u201d), or, fortunately, #11 (\u201cThe Cult of Heroism\u201d) or #12 \u201cMachismo\u201d). but I think you will agree with me when I say that the fascist smorgasbord serves up a hearty feed for both parties.

But two things Bowers rarely posts about are her husband of 17 years, Paul Dans, and politics. One would have to have been paying very close attention to notice when Dans was appointed to various posts within the Trump administration. Or when, in 2020, Trump named Bowers to the board of trustees at the Kennedy Center. And in recent years, even those who did notice didn\u2019t make waves about it\u2014not publicly, at least. But this summer, Ballet Beautiful clients, particularly those with left-leaning views, got quite a shock when Dans emerged as something of a celebrity in his own right as the director of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Presidential Transition Project, better known as Project 2025.\u201d And: \u201cNot everyone has a workout instructor whose husband is one of the architects of one of the most damaging right-wing-ideological social plans on speed dial, but lots of us have a QAnon sister-in-law or an antivax hairstylist.

The plane maker said Tuesday its underwritten offering of 112.5 million shares of common stock was priced at $143 a share, a 5.1% discount to its closing price Monday. It\u2019s also a larger offering than the 90 million shares Boeing previously announced on Monday. It\u2019s a steep discount, but it isn\u2019t easy to place the equivalent of almost 20% of the existing shares outstanding. Before the offering, Boeing had roughly 620 million shares outstanding, according to FactSet. The discount comes on top of recent stock weakness\u2026.

Boeing said on Tuesday it was reviewing the report, adding that it \u201cappears to be based on an inapt comparison of the prices paid for parts that meet military specifications and designs versus basic commercial items that would not be qualified or approved for use on the C-17.\u201d \u2022 A million?

There were the original Oz books, a copy of Ferdinand the Bull, Monro Leaf\u2019s inexplicably compelling yet mildly fascistic Manners Can Be Fun, some 1950s and 1960s Little Golden Books purchased at the Hinky Dinky supermarket down the street, and, among many others I\u2019ve now long forgotten, the big blue, green, and red shiny square of Richard Scarry\u2019s Best Word Book Ever. The largish (even just plain large if you were smallish when holding it) book offered a visual index of the everyday puzzle pieces of life in humble, colored-in line drawings. Each page was a fresh, funny composition of some new angle on the world, making the book a sort of quotidian picture-map containing everything imaginable and unimaginable a kid might be curious about: where and how people lived, slept, ate, played, and worked. The thing is, \u201cpeople\u201d weren\u2019t anywhere to be seen in Best Word Book Ever. Instead, the whole world was populated by animals: rabbits, bears, pigs, cats, foxes, dogs, raccoons, lions, mice, and more. Somehow, though, that made the book\u2019s view of life feel more real and more welcoming.\u201d \u2022 The original cover sketch for Richard Scarry\u2019s Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, which was first published in 1974:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nakedcapitalism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scarry-Cars-Trucks-Things-That-Go.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"710\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-281314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nakedcapitalism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scarry-Cars-Trucks-Things-That-Go.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nakedcapitalism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Scarry-Cars-Trucks-Things-That-Go-254x300.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"zeitgeist\"\/><strong>Zeitgeist Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhD student finds lost city in Mexico jungle by accident\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/crmznzkly3go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BBC<\/a>]. \u201cThey uncovered the hidden complex \u2013 which they have called Valeriana \u2013 using Lidar, a type of laser survey that maps structures buried under vegetation.\u201d \u2022\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poems\/46565\/ozymandias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The green and twisted vines stretch far away<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"class\"\/><strong>Class Warfare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c9-year-old boy among those accusing \u2018Diddy\u2019 of sexual abuse, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee confirms\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/news\/houston-texas\/crime\/article\/tony-buzbee-child-abuse-claims-sean-combs-19807206.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Houston Chronicle<\/a>]. \u2022 Horrible, but I\u2019m waiting for <em>just one<\/em> mover-and-shaker to get named, and I don\u2019t mean from the entertainment industry, either.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"wired\"\/><strong>News of the Wired<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Secret Electrostatic World of Insects\u201d [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-secret-electrostatic-world-of-insects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wired<\/a>]. \u201cImagine, for a moment, that you\u2019re a honeybee. In many ways, your world is small. Your four delicate wings, each less than a centimeter long, transport your half-gram body through looming landscapes full of giant animals and plants. In other ways, your world is expansive, even grand. Your five eyes see colors and patterns that humans can\u2019t, and your multisensory antennae detect odors from distant flowers. For years, biologists have wondered whether bees have another grand sense that we lack. The static electricity they accumulate by flying\u2014similar to the charge generated when you shuffle across carpet in thick socks\u2014could be potent enough for them to sense and influence surrounding objects through the air. Aquatic animals such as eels, sharks, and dolphins are known to sense electricity in water, which is an excellent conductor of charge. By contrast, air is a poor conductor. But it may relay enough to influence living things and their evolution.
