Idaho GOP saw young voters surge 66% in voter registration in the last 4 years & responded by passing a new bill banning the use of student IDs to vote.
Meanwhile Gun licenses are still allowed despite record highs in gun violence & gun deaths.
A party that chooses violence over votes is the antithesis of democracy.
Vote them all out.
@tristansnell We’ve been waiting so long for this.
@doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world Also last comment. If an excerpt is inadequate out of context, don’t share it out of context?
@doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world I’m not. I’m trying to avoid blaming America for an innovation they weren’t responsible for. It was an unfortunate choice of words on Ms. Wilkerson’s part.

Florida House Passes Universal Vouchers. cost Unknown. https://dianeravitch.net/2023/03/17/florida-house-passes-universal-vouchers-cost-unknown/ (Me: Florida out to destroy public schools and enable racial
and social resegregation of schools using public tax dollars)
@Style17strings @therobburgessshow Clone club in Resident Evil? Magnificent!
@doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world I’m just adding back in a forgotten history.
@doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world As much as America likes taking credit for innovation, slavery was a thing long before the discovery of the country.

Jeff Yass is unfortunately someone to watch.
Yass has tried to create discontent with public schools to push privatization. He is the sole founder of a PAC he put $15 million into, the “School Freedom Fund”. (https://www.schoolfreedomfund.org/)
Also noting that given 30 years to show any, school choice provides no advantages. It doesn't work and decimates public schools.
@Tilopa@convo.casa @OlDude82 Communal living?
@g One small win. But they’ll keep pushing.
“Groups of anti-fascists clashed with white supremacists and supporters of former President Donald Trump throughout a day of protests and counterprotests, but only the self-professed anti-fascists were ever charged with crimes, despite video evidence showing white supremacists attacking people.”

Health care vans that provided COVID testing and vaccines in the pandemic are now providing a range of health services in hard-to-reach communities. New access to federal funds could expand the trend. https://t.co/HgvOZdLCOA
