PURPORT Or Pa. Can a GOP candidate force voters to re-register?

Dags Mastriano, a Pennsylvania Republican candidate for governor, is probably the state’s foremost trader. the lies of former President Donald Trump that widespread fraud cost him 2020 elections.

The state senator and retired U.S. Army colonel Mastriano say he wants to make everyone re-register if they want to vote again. This notion is a clear violation of federal law, legal scholars say, and may be in conflict with national law, let alone constitutional protection. It is also a departure from the laws that white people have developed in previous eras to prevent black people or younger European immigrants from voting.

This AP story is wild in its simplicity and straightforwardness.

Primer on the hearing of the Selection Committee on 6 January

The resource is structured on the basis of the main aspects of the inquiry itself – as the Selected Committee has organized its inquiry – which reflects the main lines of the election rollover campaign. The names of the committee’s investigation teams are color-coded (gold, blue, purple, red and green); this introduction, in turn, has highlighted the main facts and conclusions within the same organizational structure.

Critically, “6. January ”, like Watergate, has become a useful acronym. However, as in the case of Watergate, 6 January is not an isolated event, but a much broader and more comprehensive attempt to stop the transfer of power. We hope this resource is useful for distilling these components and what we critically know (and don’t know yet) about each. This resource was created in collaboration between Just Security and Protect Democracy.

Primer is available in Scribd format below and also as a … PDF.

About misogyny and the limits of our focus

Fighting under our noses

Meanwhile, #MeToo flourished and founded in the United States based on its celebrity phenomenon. I think of this as a holivization of the issue. High-level abusers and high-level victims illuminate the news cycle. They allow news organizations to turn common social realities into compelling storytelling. There is definitely nothing wrong with that. In other words, it could be inevitable, at least to some extent. 2017-2018 The revelations of 2006 drew attention to a fundamental problem. They also helped inspire many people to become more active, trying to force their society to take the problem more seriously.

But live high-level stories, die high-level stories. Now smarter people are writing about me on the case of the defamation of Johnny Depp against Amber Herd as a #MeToo death signal. It could be argued that the beginning of #MeToo’s end, at least in a movement that seemed too strong, too consistent with the prevailing tide of history to be on the wrong side, was the Kavanaugh approval process in 2018. Regardless of the awareness raised by graphic documentation that at least some of them had spent decades rich and strong men avoiding (mostly) violence against women, the reality of everyday fears and violence. the experience of many women has not changed. At all.

RNC main inch game

In a secret, dubious and extremely offline attempt to turn minorities into Republicans

The RNC community center model is the latest attempt by Republicans to try non-white voters who have long been absent from the party and are being demonized by its leaders. However, the insane election results of 2020 pointed to an opportunity. According to a report by the advanced data utility Catalist, Joe Biden’s vote in Latin America has fallen by eight percentage points compared to Hillary Clinton. According to Vox, this marked “the most dramatic change in four years between the largest racial or ethnic groups observed.” The movement was staggering in areas such as South Texas, where five strong Latin areas overturned Donaldam Trampam.

Baiden’s share of black Americans also fell by three points, and the GOP outperformed Asian Americans and Indians. It was something less than a breakthrough with white voters; Republicans who lost to Asian Americans by 27 percent showed their best performance with any major racial minority bloc. However, given the huge increase in voter turnout in 2020, Republicans put up a total of votes that would have seemed impossible even to the people of Poljana.

The daughter of the director of the slain Sandy Hook would like you to stop asking for autopsy photos

Some proponents of arms control think the display of graphic photos of the mass shootings will affect lawmakers. The victims of the same shootout say they stop asking them.

“STOP SENDING A PHOTOGRAPH BY THE AUTOPSY,” Laferty wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “The daring of those who ask and demand that photos of Sandy Hook’s crime scene be published is incomprehensible. I envy those who do not and cannot understand the gravity of this issue.
