@KestrelSWard Normally you can tell by the behavior of the dog. The “real” ones are not distracted by anything, they will not attend to strangers, they stay alert at their owner’s side.

@KestrelSWard People who put service vests on non service animals should be fined. If they’re trained, why not register them as support animals?

Did you know that the USA has *never* elected a Pakistani American to Congress?

I’d be the first—ever.

My campaign for Congress in IL-11 is about economic, climate, & social Justice. And it’s about representation, because representation matters.

How amazing a rebuke to bigotry if Americans stood United for justice & helped me make history? I need your support. Join my campaign for US Congress. Sign up to volunteer and donate any amount at www.qasimrashid.com — because justice cant wait.

I think it was Finland that did that, gave houses to all the homeless, ended it completely, and it paid for itself by saving all the resources previously used on homelessness

"Jaw-dropped at some of the Gen Z turnout rates from last night's election compared to 2021.

—Temple University: 523% HIGHER
—Penn State: 300% HIGHER
—College of William & Mary: 128% HIGHER

Gen Z turned out & made Republicans find out. We will do it again in 2024. Thank a Gen Z."

@KestrelSWard If it is that bad, what you need is a service animal. ESAs are not trained.

@KestrelSWard Someone who needs a service animal, literally cannot navigate outside life without it. Those needing ESAs will be uncomfortable, but they can manage. You won’t get run over trying to cross the street cause you left your ESA at home, but that’s not the case for a blind person.

@imstilljeremy @shepgo @baruch@babka.social @SteveThompson @baruch

There are 3 problems with #Tlaib:

1. She hasn't condemned #Hamas ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

2. She is lying about #Biden ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

3. She is rallying #Muslims in #Michigan to vote against Biden ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

Only (1) is covered by @baruch's explanation, and I can't fault Tlaib for that.

(2) and (3) are extremely problematic as they smack of #interference in #Election2024 and endanger #US and world #security.

110/ Rubin:

After affirming her pride in her work on the Trump Hotel Collection, and specifically the Doral and Old Post Office projects, but not extending that pride to her history with the family business more broadly, Ivanka Trump is off the stand for good.

The defense promised that their examination of Ivanka would move into tomorrow; now that it’s not the case, the principal law clerk asks if they have a witness for tomorrow. They don’t.

Polling places ran out of ballots in heavily Black communities. This is unacceptable and can’t be allowed to happen again.

Problems with Presley Dem loss in Mississippi: At least NINE Hinds County polls (which includes nearly 83%-Black Capital Jackson) ran out of ballots with thousands waiting to vote, and a circuit judge denied a request to keep polls open until 9 pm. wlbt.com/2023/11/08/circuit-ju

LA County just agreed to pay a reporter $700k after she was slammed to the ground and arrested by LASD while covering a protest -- making this likely the largest payout to a reporter in connection with covering a 2020 protest so far.

What's wild is that the county apparently had such a weak case they agreed to settle before a suit was formally filed. latimes.com/california/story/2
