Get your birth certificates. There may be a fee or long wait times. Make sure you get a certified copy.

Make sure you’re registered to vote. Google it. Follow the instructions for your state.

Know where your local polling place is or find out if you can vote by mail.

They’re like weeds. You can pull up every visible bit, but if you leave one tiny segment of root, they’ll just come back.

so you guys, about a month my brother and his dog, thor, were shot. my brother didn’t make it but luckily thor did. my brother loved thor more than anything and he’d make sure thor was fed before he’d even feed himself. Thor is just a big loving baby who was my brothers bestfriend. Thor suffered a gunshot wound to the head and he’s doing better but taking care of my brother’s baby is definitely a challenge. it’s my family’s mission to make sure thor has the best life he can ever have. I lost my brother and Thor lost his master, his caretaker, and his bestfriend as well so you can understand how hard this can be on everyone. my family started a gofundme. any donation is helpful..no donation is ever too small and if you can’t donate please just share. literally anything helps you guys. please love those close to you, peace and love <3

Where do I begin?

- Criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust because he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to “shame” the Germans instead of fighting back. His exact words were, “But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

- Wrote an open letter to the British people in 1940 telling them to surrender to the Axis even if it mean accepting genocide.

- Was very anti-black. I hope you can stomach reading how he treated black people in South Africa. It’s fucking disgusting.

- Refused his wife life-saving medication (for religious reasons), but those religious reasons all of a sudden no longer applied to him when he was in a similar position.

- Refused to have sex with his wife for the last 38 years of their marriage. He felt that in order to test his commitment to celibacy, he would have beautiful young women (including his own great niece) lie next to him naked through the night. His wife, whom he described as looking like a “meek cow” was no longer desirable enough to be a solid test.

- Believed that Indian women who were raped lost their value as a human.

- During his time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered that a young male was harassing two of his female followers. He responded by cutting the girls’ hair off to ensure the “sinner’s eye” was “sterilized.” He later boasted about the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them.

- Argued that fathers could be justified in killing daughters who had been sexually assaulted for the sake of family and community honor.

- Believed that menstruation was a manifestation of the distortion of a woman’s soul by her sexuality.

- Waged a war against contraceptives, labeling Indian women who used them as whores.

- Held the attitude that women were simply creatures that could bring either pride or shame to the men who own them.
