UGH 😩
mean the exact opposite of their titles. The #SaveAct whose sole purpose is voter suppression is just one of many examples.
"No party has ever existed in this country that has made itself more the tool of capital, or that has manifested a more determined purpose to get rid of universal suffrage, and enslave the masses to the Money Kings"
Here's an older article about the SAVE Act

"Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean" Protect language. We have lost language!
That is the way to tell the truth!
Time will get you and does not care what side of the isle you are on! Lies will catch up to you!"
republicans insidiously argue that illegal people are voting so they can make it exponentially harder for citizens to vote
#republicans learned this from the #nazis
#donalon #elonald is playin for keeps

STOP UNDERESTIMATING HOW BAD HE IS - & WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF DOING.
The limit does not exist.
I cannot BELIEVE Biden is just going to go home & let this sociopath walk straight into The Oval.
Really, truly believed we would stop this.
But. No.
Ugh, I feel sick.
because self censuring is a good thing when you have nothing to add to the discourse
i will say that the situation is dire
this will be a long 4 years if we type here and talk poop and do nothing
and a short 2 years if we are active @teamaoc.bsky.social
get active
even #elonald got 3mil less votes
apathy won the 2024 election
We had 1 CHANCE to choose: A free democracy,or authoritarian oligarchy & evil, inhumane corruption.
THAT WAS THE ONLY REAL CHOICE TO BE MADE.
The Shortsighted & Ignorant were more concerned re egg prices, & brown ppl.🙄
then placing 4 loyalists to the sup court
then declare martial law
then disband senate and congress
oh wait
we have to become what they are becoming cant be the best way to do this
join @teamaoc.bsky.social
to make it a 2 year term for #elonald
Also, when a President wins, a high nation-wide vote count can help give them more of a "mandate", so in this way every blue vote matters!

"If a 12yearold can get pregnant, she can give birth."
"I know an abused 13yearold who gave birth. She is glad she did. Dont assume pregnancy is traumatic. For a young girl, it is certainly a trial, but with love and support it is not necessarily a trauma."
Pinning this so I can remember to do this.
Can we at least agree that not requiring identification when voting makes it impossible to prove fraud has taken place.
Voter fraud includes illegal immigrants voting in US elections.
Also I would argue that you should not be voting if getting a driver's license and registering is too hard for you.. I imagine understanding politics is impossible for that person..
How?
Who?
More info please.
It's why every vote counts.
Watching paint Dry or grass grow is no excuse not to leave your Armchairs
🇮🇪🇪🇺
- Expand Early Voting
- Prevent partisan gerrymandering
- Expand access to vote-by-mail
- Expand same-day voter registration
- Make Election Day a Federal Holiday
- Expand automatic voter registration
GQP Congress Critters - ZERO support.
It's bad for all of us, and bad for all our allies.
Just a straight NO works every time
They’ll want voting on just one day and in person.
Now this is definitely a rich thing
Keeping it finger on the poor
This bill requires individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.
The bill prohibits states from registering to vote in federal elections unless the applicant presents proof of U.S. citizenship.
From the sidelines, I will definitely support you!
#OutOfTouch
I'd love the #EU, #PMs, etc, to speak the fuck up on behalf of Americans whose heads arent up their own backsides, acknowledge our track record is over, & welcome us before it's too late.
Please vote intelligently!
The GOP is doing everything they can to destroy democracy.
Voting rights are being eroded by the GOP daily.
Stop them!!
vote using their driver’s license or other state-provided, military or Tribal IDs.
The republicans are famous for creating these seemingly trivial rules and then making them impossible to comply…
Sorry, what was the problem, exactly?
Obviously designed to make fraud easier.
Genuinely curious.
When you reach 16-18 you will need to create another document who will identify you as a voter. With both documents in hand you can vote
This video perfectly encapsulates it.

Millions of magats don't realize the GOP is fucking them over left and right!
I also don't think that you are able to understand how desperately poor some people can be that seemingly simple things can be a struggle.
https://www.voteaustralia.org.au/identifying_voters
if someone isn't able to to do that, they shouldn't be voting in the first place.
But not in the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.
Shame on all who would deny their Democratic right.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
And it was Southern Democrats that voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

"SAFE" "FREEDOM" "TRUTH" "DEI" "TRANS" "WOKE"
All keeping the Maga base under control!
It is called indoctrination, brainwash, groom!
Some Maga are getting it now but not enough!
The billionaires DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY ARE SCREWING YOU MAGAS!
You can read it after you open the link
Cross my heart we are legit and Nick is a Rock Star who works hard for all of us
When I went to get my drivers license, I had to have my social security and birth certificate.
So what ignorant back roads fool thinks that other states don't use the same documents to pass out legal state identification.
This will affect WOMEN who get married. Isolating women.
This was a standard already.
So I don't know what others are thinking or might now being experiencing.
All I know is when a group of useless politicians do anything.
It's not in the best interest of the many.
This is a plot to gather and be able to isolate groups further.
There has to be a reason why republican push something through the House.
It usually take away our rights. Bill below
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8281/text
Also one of the highest registration and participation rates in us.
We do no have: jokes about dead people voting, accusations of fraud or actual fraud.
It ain't that hard
*prior to 2024 election
Too obvious and too many words.🤣
Sad, not funny.
Wtf? Can any elected official out in BlueSky confirm this?
I would be unable to vote. Daughter of a veteran and voted in every single election for about 35 years…. This is scary stuff!
1. It adds unfunded requirements to the States.
2. It requires each State to add document management to their voter registration to record documents used to establish citizenship/residency.
3. One of those documents must be a certified copy of your birth certificate. 1/
Your STATE made a decision and possibly put some thought into how it was going to work with their existing systems. At the least, you can give your rep a hard time at dinner the next time you see them. 1/
The major part not mentioned is that 50 states and all the territories already HAVE LAWS for voter registration. This dumps a TON of cost onto States to make up some crap.
Real ID is to get on a plane (optional).
Additionally, with documentation attached to your State Id or driver's license, it makes it a lot easier for "Papers please" stops w/o actually saying it.
If you don't like the idea, call your representatives and tell them.
If it passes or doesn't, it's not going to stop the GOP from questioning the integrity of elections.
5. It would take effect immediately. It's iffy if any voter registration would be 'valid.' Each state would have to pass legislation to match this bill. 2/
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8281
"...EACH STATE MUST take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include ESTABLISHING A PROGRAM TO IDENTIFY individuals who are NOT U.S. CITIZENS using information supplied by specified sources.
The bill allows for a PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION AGAINST AN ELECTION OFFICIAL who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
Why does this link say absolutely nothing.
Post the fucking bill and make your top 5 points because WOW to adding to the fucking problem.
And no
I don't need to research it myself.
I'm 50 and you all keep ignoring what I've been saying for decades.
So.
Fucking teach or stfu.
They have not made "different" moral judgements, they have spat on their morals to spite minorities.
There is a simple solution to this simple problem, and Brian Thompson already knows what it is.
The principles of moral judgment and moral reasoning are very clear, judgment is the first thing that happens, reasoning is the second.
It's really fucking easy to want to keep the high ground when Rightists aren't holding a gun to your head. Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as you and am forced to live under the constant threat of having my existence outlawed.
His team handles the "Newspeak." They are "obeying instructions"
And if people knew, it's not just "lies"; it's a deliberate reframing of words to make people feel and act a certain way.
