That is my recollection as well

Adding context to context, there was a movement to change the constitution to allow him to run for president around then too

Guys and Dolls - 👐 (jazz hands)

Defense attorney is technically correct, they didn’t conspire against the Democrats on the bus because they thought some different Democrats were on it instead.

You’re moving goalposts again, as I provided the excerpt from the article that you asked for in your prior comment.

The truth of the matter is that each of the racially motivated hurdles to voting I’ve previously noted follow a clear pattern of aiming to prevent certain groups from voting and this latest one is no different. No fluctuation of strawman arguments will change that

3rd paragraph in:

Some Democrats contend the measures could create hurdles for legal voters, are unnecessary and lead people to believe the problem of noncitizens voting is bigger than it really is.

Legislatures pass bills. Sometimes they are called resolutions, or other names, but the items that are voted on are bills. Prior to the passage of these bills, only citizens could legally vote anyway. Noncitizens face fines, jail, and deportation for an act that has no mathematical influence on these elections even if it were to happen, which it generally does not.

By changing the language from “all citizens”, it sets up opportunities to selectively disenfranchise those citizens who are able and registered to vote. This selective enforcement will fall disproportionately on those people who belong to the targeted group - in this case, those who look like the people immigrating across the southern U.S. border - similar to how poll taxes and literacy tests were used to prevent other groups from exercising their legitimate right to vote. And that’s by design, else these measures would not be coupled with fear mongering about these people.

This article is referencing new bills that will disenfranchise legitimately registered voters, and is not about bills loosening current voting laws. Current voting laws, as you yourself have stated, are clearly working.

Hear hear! Vote, and then keep organizing to achieve better with the next vote.

Chewing will cause them to mix as well, but there’s less time for the compounds to catalyze and “mature” to change the flavor very much

It’s not just that, but the number of cuts made also increases the amount of different compounds mixing after being separated by cell walls which causes them to form new compounds.

I don’t go in for this framing - it employs language that diminishes substantive policy differences and discourages engagement and turnout from people that share similar moral compass bearings, which only empowers those who thrive in low turnout elections and high apathy in the periods between them. It would be far better, from my view, for folks of all progressive stripes to be encouraging everyone to vote for progress at every level of every ballot, and highlighting local candidates that will help to push the top of the ticket and national dialogue towards even more progressive ideals. Positioning all options as evil has big “the bus boycotts won’t get results and should stop” energy

Some of my closest friends are people I began interacting with online - some I’ve made trips to visit, others are so far away that we might never meet afk. I began chafing at the online/irl dichotomy more than thirty years ago when my uncle showed me Ohio State’s intranet and my parents lamented that I needed to be spending my time in “the real world”. Back then, I was floored that I could have real interactions with real people in real places I’d never been, and these days I am no less amazed by the ability to connect on a real level with people in digital spaces.

To this day, online and afk are the distinctions I use for my real life interactions - my words are just as able to bring comfort and solace or mockery and derision in either space, and I comport myself the same way in both because of thoughts like the ones in this post.

“They’re unironically that creepy mom from Carrie”

• Walz, next week or so

I think Nancy was the one who had a relationship with the shooter…

The whole thing just feels a little hinky to me, but I agree with you in doubting that trump planned it. That said, keep an ear out for lines from ronnie’s speeches

Didn’t see this when I made my comment but yeah. Reeks of the reagan playbook

I’m not entirely surprised…

His first campaign was entirely cribbed from reagan too

Certainly not the U.S. citizens

I beg to differ, wasps are cool and useful and deserve additional support

Really just further clarification on which laws should protect, but not bind, their in-group.
