Ranked Voting is on some. Other states have legislators upping thresholds, making it harder to put a measure up for a vote. This denies voters their voice and protects incumbents&#39; power.<br/><br/>#Vote #Resist 2026-09-26T22:04:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq9wzks4x9vdar8q7qfr2xtf55emp7mse0wjmcty4w3558rq0xxgqzyq3cwxa8ehty0uerl07n8xt6gj57wuch2c2kjfhtqfymsyx707tq54ghqaz It&#39;s important to get out and VOTE BLUE for state elections. Per AARP, 55% of state legislators are Republican, and 27 states have supermajorities which can override Governor vetos.

Data caps can be an issue. T-Mobile has some freebies with their plan, like lowest level of Netflix, that should be factored in the total costs. Also, had to exchange a home internet gateway 2 years ago. When I cancelled it for deteriorating service recently, they tried to charge me for not returning the earlier one. That hurt their reputation w/me. This price stunt adds to the insult. 2026-06-30T12:16:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswj5vgzezugugymkht3kwg8840lc5yuuypynl79zmy3ra57vml5mczyq3cwxa8ehty0uerl07n8xt6gj57wuch2c2kjfhtqfymsyx707tq5vgm7t6 T-Mobile is moving customers to new plans.
