Of all actions of a man’s life, his marriage does least concern other people, yet of all actions of our life ‘tis most meddled with by other people.

#Newsmax #host claims #polls showing #VicePresident #KamalaHarris in the #lead are “almost like #election #meddling”
#RobSchmitt: “I think that when you put a poll out there that makes it look like Kamala is doing #well, it creates the #idea in a lot of people's minds that aren't intelligent enough to think for themselves”
The polls remain close,
and with #democracy truly on the ballot,
this is no time for complacency or business as usual.
Trump will stop at nothing to win,
and we’ve seen him seek to #disrupt and ignore #elections in the past.
Foreign enemies, like Vladimir #Putin,
have a huge stake in a Trump victory,
and we know they are already #meddling in the election.
Meanwhile, the #media and members of the #GOP are busy 
normalizing the abnormal.
The Democracy Future Project’s exercises can’t tell us whether the descent into authoritarianism will be fast or slow if Trump wins.
Most likely, it will involve a combination of highly visible steps and subtler,
possibly even more dangerous changes
--far from view.
But the exercises make it clear that should Trump win in November,
there is every reason to expect the worst.
And that’s why there is also every reason to
prepare for the worst case.
If those who care about democracy start coordinating now to shore up democracy’s defenses,
we’ll have a fighting chance of slowing or preventing Trump’s most egregious plans
should he regain the White House.
And while we start planning for this dark future,
at the same time we need to focus intensively
on 
️winning this election. ️
We have a new candidate who is pulling no punches,
and within the last week we have seen a surge 
in momentum,
creativity, leadership, and purpose.
We must build on that.
Because given the politically biased and corrupt #Supreme #Court,
the commitment of #MAGA Republicans on the Hill to political hackery,
and the grim determination of #Trump and his sycophantic allies to act on his repeated autocratic threats,
our #best chance
—and possibly our #last chance
—to preserve our democracy will be in November.
These activists are so jaded that they are more concerned with meddling than with the welfare of the dog. Disgusting! #animalrights #humanrights #meddling
Animal rights activists steal the puppy of an homeless man.

This cartoon is actually from 2018 when Ford's #conservative government upended Toronto's election by slashing the size of City council nearly in half midway through the election. Doug Ford then invoked the notwithstanding clause to override the judge's decision that had ruled the move unconstitutional.
#Toronto deputy mayor breaks her pledge to stay out of Toronto mayoral election and backs a candidate.
The Ford/Tory "status quo" camps are getting worried...
"I just have a sinking feeling that Doug Ford is saving his powder until the last moment to sink Olivia Chow's Toronto mayoral bid."
Premier Ford has decided to stage a massive, free 'FordFest' BBQ in Scarborough on June 23 - coincidentally just 3 days before the #Toronto mayoral election.

Column: How Trump’s anti-science meddling erased 3 years of crucial COVID research
It is undisputable that the Trump White House ordered the National Institutes of Health to terminate a $3.4-million grant to EcoHealth in April 2020, based on entirely unfounded right-wingers’ claims that EcoHealth was funding so-called gain-of-function virus research in China

"A splintered centre left serves Ford quite nicely"
Yes, indeed, he's very pleased with the progression of the Toronto mayoral election.

When we split up, I usually go
With Strength and Beauty. Sometimes though,
I join up with the Other Guys.
I’ve got perceptive, skeptic eyes
And even groping for my glasses,
The bogus phantom rarely passes
Scrutiny, though I blindly crawl…
The least myopic of us all.
All the Israeli "private intelligence firms" (Black Cube, NSO Group and many others) are fronts for Mossad. They exist to provide plausible deniability for bad actions.
And they're not limited to meddling in Africa or getting journalists who annoy the Saudis arrested; it is known that they were involved in helping Brexit win, and in the US presidential election in 2016.
If politicians stopped #meddling with things they don't understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates
