Republicans: We want to require ID to vote to prevent voter fraud Me: Hmm, maybe that's OK, since it would get rid of the existing voter registration process which is a weird extra step Republicans: No, we want to keep that too. And require birth certificates and maybe a poll tax Me: ...
âRoughly 90 percent of women who marry adopt their husbandâs last name. Roughly 90 percent of married female voters have different name on their ID than on their birth certificate. 34 percent of women could be turned away from polls unless they have precisely the right documents.â FUCK THESE FUCKS.

A lot going on right now. Just a reminder that in five days, Missouri plans to execute an innocent man. innocenceproject.org/time-is-runn...
Itâs up to Gov. Mike Parson to grant clemency and commute Mr. Williamsâ sentence to life without parole.
A requirement congress decide insurrection cases and immunity for the president were just added sui generis this year.
Today my niece, who was born here in the US, asked if we could be deported even though her Haitian American parents were also born here. Thatâs how things are going with this open season on immigration. If this kid is worried we can imagine how others from all immigrant populations are feeling.
And people still listen to him, some of them high-functioning. Itâs difficult to process.

Learned this morning that my partner, who votes in every single election, was removed from the voting rolls here in Ohio because of "inactivity." He got it fixed but what the fuck. If you're in Ohio and planning to vote this November, please PLEASE keep checking your registration as it gets nearer.
Most think of proposed mass deportation as the removal of foreigners. No: The plan explicitly includes the mass deportation of *US citizens*. It is not about who should get US citizenship. It is about some US citizens illegitimizing other US citizens.
Got in arguments with multiple people on Twitter who insist that Minneapolis burned down. Most live far away and are getting their "information" from Fox News, but a few live in the suburbs and just apparently haven't gone in to the city. So frustrating.
The latest MAGA conspiracy theory is particularly stupid. Everyone knows Haitian immigrants have eaten all of the audio earrings.
