Huh. Did you know that Portland, Detroit, Ypsilani, Seattle & Long Beach (WA) have free payphones? They're run by an indie organisation called Futel. You can visit the phone booth, make a call and that will connect you with an operator who will help you connect further:
"We do not judge the motivations of our users, or who they choose to call; if they don’t have someone to call, we can provide a presence on the other end."

More #election results
In #Maine, voters rejected a ballot measure that would have added #voting restrictions, & approved a measure that enables families to try to get a troubled relative’s #guns taken away.
In #Pennsylvania, voters granted new 10-year terms to 3 #Democratic justices on the state’s supreme court.
In #Detroit, #Michigan, #Democrat Mary Sheffield became the city’s first #female #mayor & the first new mayor in a dozen years.
"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald #Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power," #Mamdani told a raucous crowd of supporters. "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up."

Today in Labor History July 8, 1968: A wildcat strike began in Detroit, Michigan against both the Chrysler Corporation and the UAW. At the time, the Dodge Hamtramck plant was 70% black, while the union local was dominated by older Polish-American workers. In response, black workers formed the new Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. The Revolutionary Union Movement quickly spread to other Detroit plants: Ford Revolutionary Union Movement at the Ford River Rouge Plant, and Eldon Avenue Revolutionary Union Movement at the Chrysler Eldon Avenue plant. They united in 1969 in the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
