We are steadily marching towards victory while MAGA is steadily creeping towards getting creepier.

Trump is in trouble, he goes to Atlanta to have a large crowd to try to one up Kamala. Ends up criticizing Gov. Kemp because his wife won’t endorse him and talking about “mask mandates” Meanwhile, there were plenty of empty seats. 🤣

Kamala is gaining popularity and she’s getting real good on the stump!

A few days ago someone posted this "Kamala removes stubborn orange stains" shirt in the substack comments section 👇

So I ordered that shirt and it arrived yesterday! I’m going to wear it out by November 5 🤣

Whoever made this, thank you! 👍

Go Kamala!

Even a mini-version of your good news roundup, Jess, is probably far more than the average person sees in a week!

Thank you for so many things. There is a group, People with Disabilities for Harris. I am trying to find out more about them.

Your trying to 'vacation' this close to a presidential election reminds me of my own problems doing so when practicing medicine in a small town. Fortunately the seven of us in town 'covered' for one another, but even so, being away for 2 weeks was more trouble leaving and coming back than it was worth; I stopped. Regular office hours were Mon, Tues, Wed, and Friday. Thursday was Education or Hospital Staff and house calls, and Sat and Sun were only hospital rounds, but my phone was in the phone book. Then came the cell phone and I would take a Friday and have a 4 days with few problems that required a colleague to intervene. I remember handling a medical examiner case while having lunch with friends on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, and the beeper pre cell when I had to ride the tractor in a mile and a half from back pasture to reach a phone, call in and say "Yes." and ride back! you can imagine the improvement the cell represented. Appreciate your success. Love, Doc. www.dykers.com

"Portland, OR is overhauling its voting system and government structure to be more democratic."

And Georgia is putting in place more people to challenge voter eligibility.

Thank you so much for these lists and links, Jessica! I just sent some of them to my very elderly Republican uncle who is caught in the vortex of right-wing lies and fear-mongering. I keep hoping love and a continued willingness to discuss issues, on both our parts, will have some positive effect.
