#Trump said on Monday that he would lead a movement to eliminate #MailinBallots & would sign an #ExecutiveOrder to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting & said it was a source of fraud during the 2020 election, though his AG at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven.

#Trump also wrote that he wanted to get rid of voting machines, which he described as inaccurate & expensive [wrong. Far more accurate than hand counting]. He claimed, incorrectly, that the US was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting.”
His post did not elaborate on what the #ExecutiveOrder would say. It was also not immediately clear whether the Trump admin could stop the use of mail-in voting, which is largely entrusted to individual states.

#Trump argued in his post that #states were “merely an agent’ for the #FederalGovernment in counting & tabulating the votes.” [he is so unbelievably ignorant]

“They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them,” Trump said. [whatever happened to the #StatesRights party?]

#Trump has maintained his opposition even after #Republicans in the 2024 #election made significant gains in mail voting when the party encouraged its supporters to make use of the practice.

On Truth Social on Monday, Trump posted: “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”

[IOW if people #vote, he & his candidates lose]

💥Battle isolation with senior group fitness!

At the Milano Senior Center in #Melrose, MA, members ages 65–97 are proving that movement builds more than muscle—it builds belonging. This seated battle ropes circuit (side winders!) delivers more than physical power—it’s community in motion.💪🏾

Getting older does not cause conservatism. That is a myth promoted by conservatives.

Mother Bones Nov 22, 2022 There is a TON of research on this, I'm not just spitballing. I've been in this field for decades. And I've watched the statistics I studied play out IRL over and over and over for myself and everyone I've known. (Including hundreds of clients.) This is one of the reasons I'm so annoyed with the intergenerational divisiveness being pushed down all our throats. It's bullsht. We have allies and enemies across every generation. (3/5) This is also related to the myth that "racism will die out" or "homophobia will die out' as older people die. No, bigotry and fascistic attitudes *don't just die out, they must be actively fought and defeated on an ongoing basis. Because sometimes we make the mistake of thinking "Oh, the youth must not be bigoted like their forebears" but guess what. If that were true we wouldn't have had the tiki torches or the terf explosion. Allies and enemies in every generation. (4/5)

Ageing doesn't cause conservatism "Let's get something straight. Growing old doesn't make people #conservative. In fact the more marginalized identity statuses a person has, the LESS conservative they grow over time. The reason we equate "old" with "conservative" is that #marginalization kills people off younger. Some of the most radical people you know are old. It's just a lot of others died before they could get there, so there's a diminishing proportion. (2/5) Nov 22, 2022, 01:06 PM

#Ageism Doesn’t Belong Here. #Community Does. 🛡️💪🏾

My SPARTA Strength Class (ages 65–97) at the Malden Senior Center welcomed two summer interns into a full-body experience. ✨These rockstars didn’t just demonstrate—they inspired. From cheers to high-fives, it was age-defying unity in motion.

📣We’re not just breaking a sweat—we’re breaking stereotypes.

🥵 #Heatwave Alert: Older Adults and Hydration

📚 Did you know? Dehydration becomes even more dangerous during extreme heat—raising the risk of falls, fatigue, and heatstroke, especially for older adults.

▶️ In this video, I explain why the risk of dehydration increases with age and share practical tips to stay hydrated throughout the day.💦

✨Please share! Hydration isn’t just important—it’s protective.
