Nice video. Now about your absences...

Do whatever the hell you want to do with your time. You are a person clearly capable of making his own decisions. (That said, I really like watching TWiB.)

[FurrySaint]

About damn time. I have missed your dead-on snark. Glad you're back!

We've got major voter suooression in Texas against minorities, but it's gonna backfire in future elections

[elonjames]

Actually no. A poll tax at its essence is a fee charged to participate in what is considered a cornerstone of our democracy in America. Now yes--the rule isn't linked to skin color now--but there IS a fee (purchasing ID or the necessary documents for ID) to exercise what's supposed to be a right. Of the millions who are affected by these attempts (many places have since overturned the Voter ID rules) a disproportionate amount of voters are Black.

Hey. These regulations apply to Whites too, unlike the poll tax which in most cases, Whites were exempt from. If only minorities had to show ID to vote, you might have a case. Gotcha on that one didn't I!!!

[UnbrokenHope]

Loved the end of the video where you gave viewers an idea of something tangible they could do. Love that TWiB is back. YAY

[dryerbuzz]

so is voter suppression suppressing young and black or broke people?

[Mai Kellogg]

Great job Elon! The GOP Stealing an election...that's not anywhere close to winning! Don't you get the feeling America is starting to trade places with Egypt? Pretty soon its going to be one TV station, one News provider (FOX), no women's rights, no more 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act...they already came out and said they need to ReThink that one!

[blackopbirdie]

This is awesome.
