If you are turned away at the polls in the USA, your legal response must be:
"Please give me a provisional ballot and a receipt as required by law."

"The SAVE Act is a massive attack on voting rights from a party that doesn’t want every American to be able to vote. The Capitol switchboard phone number, where you can ask to be connected to your senators’ offices, is (202) 224-3121."

Precisely why we can’t fight our way out of fascism at the ballot box. If elections were fair, we’d stand a chance. But they’re not.
This list of corruption is massive, overwhelming, and depressing. Let it be the fire that ignites you. Let it be your “red line.”
Sleeping now, counting on voting later, ain’t it.

Anyone not voting yes in that poll is making me quite angry right now.
It should be impossible for the ITU to deny that internet shutdowns in Iran demonstrate fundamental flaws with digital sovereignty rhetoric for human rights in both policy and global internet governance https://www.techpolicy.press/irans-case-should-put-an-end-to-illusions-about-digital-sovereignty/

ICE is a slave patrol powered by tech. Violence is all that is on the 24 hour news cycle and yet just weeks ago WIRED ran a feature that humanised Palantir’s Alex Karp.

Among the laws going into effect this year in New Jersey: minimum wage increase and allowing 17-year-olds who are turning 18 before general election to vote in primaries.
"By allowing these 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections we are allowing them to weigh in on which candidates they want representing their party in the general election, just like everyone else who will be voting in November."

Edward D. Greim, a partner at the Kansas City firm Graves Garrett Greim, who is representing the #white voters from #Louisiana who challenged the map, urges the justices to act in time to allow new maps in the #2026election. [of course he does]

In a back-and-forth with Nelson about time limits, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said that the #VotingRightsAct section in question, “doesn’t need a time limit, because it’s not doing any work other than just pointing us to the direction of where we might need to do something.”
Nelson said it would be “reckless” to determine, “somehow if Section 2 is no longer needed simply because it has been so successful in rooting out racial discrimination in voting.”
