We cats want to say a word to all those folks on social media who post comments like "It's so adorable that you think we're going to have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028."
We understand your concern about the Trumpy attacks on democracy, but this is not helpful.
When you say stuff like this, you can discourage people on our side from voting. Since Benedict Donald and his MAGA minions fear your vote more than anything, we can't see how this attitude is anything but defeatist for our supporters and encouraging for theirs.
We have to make the MAGAts stop us from casting our ballots. If that involves staring down some ICE guy or a member of the military at our polling places, so be it. It's only what Black voters have endured for decades in America — at least, before the enactment of the Voting Rights Act, which as we know the Republicans and the Roberts Supreme Court are hell-bent on destroying.
Your vote is your voice. Don't let anyone, even in these terrible times — or maybe, especially in these terrible times — prevent you from using it. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
