Democrats Fight To Count Every Vote In Georgia | All In | MSNBC
Stacey Abrams’ campaign manager joins Chris Hayes to discuss the fight raging in Georgia over making sure every vote in the governor’s race is counted.
This 5-minute video provides all the latest info and details, as of late Friday evening.
Please do your part to help the Abrams campaign keep this effort going strong over the weekend! The momentum and energy created by reblogging and talking up the latest in this news is an important component in aiding Georgia’s efforts to overcome Republican voter-supression and the injustice of Kemp’s declared victory.
This is an international story that is currently being eclipsed by recent good news in the governor’s and senate races in Florida. We need YOUR help to IMMEDIATELY raise the profile of this vitally-important progressive narrative!
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned out backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
A November Witch is, as the name suggests, not
something to trifle with. The colorful name refers to the particularly nasty
storms that pummel the Great Lakes around this time of year. They can be
merciless systems; one such storm sank the Edmund
Fitzgerald freighter 40 years ago.
Dave Sandford captures that power
perfectly in his series Liquid Mountains,
which he shot during four weeks on the shores of Port Stanley, Ontario.
Although he respects the power of these storms, Sandford isn’t afraid of
them. The worse things get, the more compelled he is to be outside.
Read more about how Sandford captured these vicious waves and check out more photos.
Here’s an update on the Camp Fire happening in Butte County in Northern California:
1. The fire grew from 70,000 to 90,000 acres and is still only 5% contained. It is now the most destructive fire in California’s history
2. So far there have been 9 confirmed fatalities. 5 of these people died in their cars while trying to evacuate
3. The last incident report I saw said that the fire isn’t expected to be contained until 11/30/2018 but this information might have changed by now
4. A total of 6,713 buildings have been confirmed to be destroyed (6,453 of which were residential buildings, 206 were commercial buildings)
5. A text to donate has been set up by United Way to help with recovery efforts. Text “buttefire” to 91999
6. All school in Butte County is cancelled for the next week
7. The air quality in Chico is extremely bad right now so please stay inside as much as possible and keep your pets inside if you can
The Honey Run Covered Bridge (built in 1886) has been destroyed and is no longer standing. This is really sad news to me because I used to go there as a kid growing up and I’ve spent a lot of time there with my friends as well. It was a historic Chico landmark loved by so many people
Here’s a satellite picture of the fire showing how far the smoke has traveled
Here’s some additional information if anyone living in Chico or Butte County wants to volunteer. There’s also some information on evacuee shelters and animal shelters or if anyone is searching for a missing person.
You know, even though I grew up knowing it was possible to around circumnavigate the world via the ocean, I had never seen it from this way before. Holy shit.
