The Last Cigarette
Illustrations by Pablo Iglesias The Frenchman Cheered For most of my life, I haven’t so much as touched a cigarette. I shared one with a couple of friends in high school at a sleepover, barely inhaled anything, and never looked back. But last year, I went to Paris for my 34th birthday. I couldn’t resist […] The post The Last Cigarette appeared first on The Stranger.

VICTORY! Democracy wins, authoritarians lose as laws allowing postmarked ballots to count are upheld in SCOTUS stunner
In the case of Watson v. Republican National Committee, the Court's six member right wing bloc splintered. Two of the bloc joined with the liberals to hold that the federal election-day statutes (3 U. S. C. §1, 2 U. S. C. §§ 1, 7) "do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by election day but received up to five days thereafter; nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by election day." This means Washington, Oregon, and other states can keep counting ballots with a timely postmark that are delivered after Election Day. VICTORY!
