Good news a from NC. Republicans passed a law that required a postcard be sent to the address of any person who took advantage of same-day registration, if the card was undeliverable by the post office the vote would be thrown out.
(The voter would *not* even be notified this happened.)

Like many voter suppression laws, it almost sounds sensible: if you don't think about it much.

On closer inspection, it is designed to target poor, minority and/or young voters. 1/

More pro-life BS...

"If they think this was him enjoying his hypoxia, then saying what happened last night was 'textbook' are just words without meaning."

@AlliFlowers I don't know. they seem very good at bad ideas. Like never, in a million years, would i have suggested they guzzle horse dewormer or blame 'demon semen' for covid. And yet. And yet.

@uspolitics That is sad. The fact that there are so many people out there who would harm the jurors for performing their civic duty just to please a convicted rapist, is a damning indictment of our country.

Reminder: all you have to do to donate to campaigns in the USA, is open or buy a US corporation.

Thanks to Citizens United, there's nothing stopping pro-democracy advocates from other countries from buying an American election.

Thanks to Trump's tampering with trade agreements, register via Canada & Mexico.

If Russian oligarchs can make Mike Johnson into the Speaker, & the FEC won't stop you...

OTTAWA - Canada is joining the United States in suspending funding for a UN agency that supports Palestinians, in response to allegations agency staff played a role in the Hamas attack on Israel last October.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government cut off Canadian funding for UNWRA in 2010, amid allegations it was too closely tied to Hamas.

Funding resumed under the federal Liberals in 2016.

@angelus_04@mastodon.gamedev.place Buahahahahahaha!!!!!!

@AlliFlowers i jokes years ago that these regressive morons would be trying to do this in 20 years. They beat my prediction by ten years.

In the next 50 theyll be wanting to bring back mammoth hunting

@chaoddity Don’t give them any ideas. (Heaven knows they can’t come up with any on their own.)

@GottaLaff

Ah, well, first post the bond...I'll give 2 to 1 he no longer has the cash to post the bond for both appeals, the business & EJ. Which would also mean he no longer has the cash on hand to pay.

Receivership?
Liquidation?
Conservator?
excavator?

I'd leave him a plot next to Ivana...if they still know where they planted her.

Let's normalize calling Trump a rapist.

Let me use it in a totally fictional, sorta sci-fi/utopian sentence:

"Donald J. Trump -- the infamous rapist and twice-impeached insurrectionist who back in 2020 tried to overthrow democracy in the Free World -- died today, reportedly choking on an overcooked chunk of ketchup-covered steak."

@mookie@troublemaker.social Right?! These people are dangerous!

I wonder if 45* will not pay E. Jean Carroll before or after he doesn't pay his lawyers.
