These barriers include the elimination of early voting in many states; poll site changes; new ID requirements; and the scaling back of vote by mail options, such as the elimination of ballot drop boxes. <br/><br/>It is critical that voters know when, where, how and what they need to vote. That’s why the Workers Circle is launching Hot Democracy Summer, an initiative to connect with 500,000 voters in voting suppressed states prior to the 2024 election to help them develop a voting plan.<br/><br/>You can have a Hot Democracy Summer with the Workers Circle by participating in events to educate yourself and others about how to exercise the right to vote in voting suppressed states this fall. <br/><br/>More Info: <a href="https://www.circle.org/hotdemocracy">https://www.circle.org/hotdemocracy</a><br/><br/>#Vote #Voting #VoterRegistration #VotingRights #VoterSuppression<br/> <img src="https://babka-mastodon.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/973/758/486/124/331/original/52cb841620ca5362.png"> <br/> 2024-08-16T21:16:30Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdqfut8794je6uqfmzk93tatdzd0k57a0hw3gruapst7lnvxn69ggzyrmw4lwwe5ru3efk3mcq72tvkml8thdwcxvtnl0dv7c6584pq27rx8434fs Fact Check: ASPS Did Not &#34;Break Consensus&#34; On Trans Care, Opposes Bans<br/><br/>An article in City Journal claimed that the American Society for Plastic Surgery became the first to &#34;challenge consensus&#34; on transgender care.

Iran&#39;s actions are part of a broader strategy to expand its regional influence and control over key strategic areas, contributing to what military experts describe as a &#34;convergence of crises&#34; in the Middle East. These efforts threaten not only Israel but also the security of energy exports in the Gulf region, which is crucial to the global economy​​.<br/><br/>...Islamist extremism must be condemned by all those with a conscience, including those in the highest offices of power in the USA and beyond...<br/><br/>Subscribe: <a href="https://www.jimena.org/">https://www.jimena.org/</a><br/><br/>#Iran #AuthoritarianRegimes #Fundamentalism #Terrorism<br/> <img src="https://babka-mastodon.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/923/298/846/863/478/original/b6ca0e02a92442ab.png"> <br/> 2024-08-07T23:26:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszey59650wdedghpn4cd3qrpc6fd47dg86ge4xkthkazknhd6gseczyrmw4lwwe5ru3efk3mcq72tvkml8thdwcxvtnl0dv7c6584pq27rx29dwt6 From NCJW:<br/>Today marks 90 days until Election Day — a significant milestone as we count down in multiples of 18, an auspicious Jewish number symbolizing life and hope.

This gesture rendered slivovitz initially attractive to Jews during Passover, specifically Seder dinners that traditionally called for the consumption of up to four glasses of wine...<br/><br/>...“He never drank water. And oh, boy, could he drink! What was that stuff called he always used to drink?’ ‘Slivovitz. Slivovitz. He used to call it, ‘Block and fall.’ You have one drink of that, you walk one block and you fall!” <br/><br/>So if you find the right brands, it&#39;s gluten free.

I’m also conducting a series of interviews for Waging Nonviolence with people who’ve successfully faced an authoritarian threat — in one case successfully overthrowing a dictator...<br/><br/>Meanwhile, other organizations are getting into this preparation phase, including the Horizons Project, the 22nd Century Initiative and the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict...&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.resilience.org/stories/2024-07-17/the-only-antidote-to-election-anxiety-is-training-to-confront-trumps-threat/">https://www.resilience.org/stories/2024-07-17/the-only-antidote-to-election-anxiety-is-training-to-confront-trumps-threat/</a><br/><br/>There&#39;s one big difference now - namely, a lot fewer people back then were evil sociopaths. Today, the Maga and QAnon crowd have no shame, no empathy, and no f^cks given how many people they hurt or kill to bring back slavery and oppression.<br/><br/>#Election #Voting #Project2025<br/> <img src="https://babka-mastodon.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/801/999/202/561/763/original/4e0c6473b9d92f44.png"> <br/> 2024-07-17T13:21:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr4047jzydp2qz2hxptgt7jlukuwvqu0d9tvhmwwaqaczlevpzdugzyrmw4lwwe5ru3efk3mcq72tvkml8thdwcxvtnl0dv7c6584pq27rxyfueuc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr9ky0yf28qyz9rsq44txfpj2cg8u690v40mt6ad2e2qdvea42rkckuvu6h'>nevent1q…vu6h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think it&#39;s time for people to start filing civil suits against the republican party in their state for the damages caused by their religious laws, and for the hospital co-pays and other costs of unwanted births. 2024-06-25T02:56:23Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswcv0rzx70llv5h47ns6j905mtw5nsa3has3ckgag5qrku7sazh4szyrmw4lwwe5ru3efk3mcq72tvkml8thdwcxvtnl0dv7c6584pq27rx940833 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0tnjl8mhx5uyfz5ryqcjjhjpugz66ssszyc52eghevm86kqwgdcsn05200'>nevent1q…5200</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Of course, Congress could pass a law stating that &#34;for all legal purposes and intents, the word militia in US law and jurisprudence refers to the formal levy of civilian soldiers subject to US Federal government control, now referred to as The National Guard, and no other group referring to themselves as a militia, or designated as such by any state or commonwealth of the union, is a legally valid militia. Only National Guard members have the right to bear arms as required for training and service in the official military reserves. All other citizens and non-citizens are subject to state and federal regulations limiting ownership and prohibiting the types of arms civilians may own and operate.&#34; <br/><br/>That would solve a lot of problems simultaneously. <br/><br/>The &#34;militia&#34; of 1776 no longer exists, and vigilantism is not prosecuted nearly enough. 2024-06-21T18:34:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspm6wfr5wl08tr2wngqjt06gww6p30aagdgrvc82396tzrycz7qlqzyrmw4lwwe5ru3efk3mcq72tvkml8thdwcxvtnl0dv7c6584pq27rx0t8qyu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstf3slmj3eayvzla5sjt73yuyzr8nryeznsupecld36skhy3jw68cn62paz'>nevent1q…2paz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Biological sex is neither innate nor immutable. All zygotes are female physically regardless of what chromosomes they have. It takes application of the right level of hormones at the right time to make them male (ie all men are trans), and there are a myriad of chemical, hormonal, environmental, genetic, and epigenetic things that can and do go wrong with either sex&#39;s physical and biochemical development. Sex is way more complicated than the xx xy elementary school understanding republicans have. 2024-06-16T12:56:26Z
