It would be awful - just AWFUL - if people from all 50 states learned about this advice from @DeanObeidallah

How terrible if ordinary #citizens took their understanding of the #constitution and #section3 of the #14thamendment and prevented #trump from being on their state’s ballot.

I mean, sure, it’s POSSIBLE but, you know: that’s, like, not fair to #traitors and #Insurrectionists 🫶😇🤙

The MCD has unveiled plans to initiate a doorstep delivery system for 23 services, taking inspiration from the ‘Delhi government model.

"Frederick Douglass, who was born into Southern #slavery, described the South as “a little nation by itself, having its own language, its own rules, regulations, and customs.”

Fewer than 2000 families — six-tenths of one percent of the Southern #population — owned more than 50 enslaved people and ruled the #oligarchy that we call the #Confederacy with an iron fist. The 75 percent of white #people in the South during that era who did not own any enslaved persons generally lived in deep #poverty.

#Women had no rights, #queer people were routinely #tortured and #murdered, #education for both enslaved #Africans and poor whites was generally outlawed, #religious attendance was often mandated, and #hunger and #disease stalked all but those in the #families of the two thousand morbidly #rich planter #dynasties.

#Modern-day Red states are doing their best to recreate that old Confederacy, right down to state Senator Kathy #Chism’s new effort to return the Confederate battle flag to #Mississippi's state flag. Ron #DeSantis and Mike #Pence have both emphasized their presidential pledges to restore the names of murderous Civil #War #traitors to #American #military bases, celebrating their armed defense of the “values” of the Old South.

Today’s version of yesteryear’s #plantation owners are called #CEOs, hedge and vulture fund managers, and the morbidly rich.

They use the power of #political #bribery given them by five corrupt #Republicans on the #SupremeCourt — with Clarence #Thomas’ tie-breaking #Citizens United vote on behalf of his sugar daddy Harlan #Crow — to lord over their Red states, regardless of the will of those states’ citizens."

When will US #citizens realize, that #betterment does not come from voting "just the other #party" but from founding a new one?

Abuse of power - Gaslighting those who needed help

The National Anti-Corruption Commission “focused on a grotesque abuse of power by the welfare bureaucracy. But along the way, it exposed another remarkable breakdown in public administration — this time, within Canberra's other integrity agency, the Commonwealth Ombudsman – which highlights just how tough it is to stay at arms' length."
"#Robodebt was a sprawling, illegal project. It stole more than $700 million from the people least able to defend themselves. It pushed many to the brink, and some right over it."

It was always just a matter of time before #threats against the #public officials & everyday #citizens who are holding #Trump accountable became explicitly #violent & #racist. The only question is whether the #Republican Party is going to pretend not to notice — which is the same thing as actively joining in.

#Protests against #water cuts continue in #Dagestan

About 200 residents of Dagestan blocked the Astrakhan-Makhachkala federal highway in the #Kumtorkalinsky district of the republic. The #demonstrators demanded to take action in connection with the long absence of water in their homes. The section on the 470th kilometer of the road turned out to be blocked, the #protesters took to the road around 20:00.

“During the blocking of the road, a conflict arose between people demanding water supply to their homes, and drivers, outraged by the #fact of blocking the road and stopping traffic,” the police said. #Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs intervened in the conflict, to the so-called. More than 50 police officers were involved in "enforcing order". An hour and a half later, by 21:36, traffic was restored in the blocked area.

A traffic jam formed at the scene of the incident, 30 police officers began to regulate traffic to eliminate it. “In the course of communication with #citizens, the conflict was extinguished. At present, the citizens have dispersed, the situation is under control,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted.

In this microdistrict, the supply of water and electricity has been turned off for a week, writes the telegram channel Mash Gor.

In the middle of last week, residents of Makhachkala blocked one of the central streets of the city due to power outages. The population of several cities and regions of the republic was left without electricity due to the heat that is in the region. The Dagestan authorities attributed the interruptions to the established abnormally hot weather (up to 43 degrees Celsius) and promised to suppress the protests.

As usual, the authorities blame everything... the population itself. "The current situation is primarily due to the chaotic high-rise buildings, the uncalculated capacity of energy facilities and illegal connections to the power grid," the prosecutor's office says. Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov instructed to deal with the situation in the republic. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article on negligence (part 1 of article 293 of the Criminal Code) due to "long" and "systematic" blackouts

At Stake in Ohio’s #Referendum on Amending the #StateConstitution

The #vote could play a big role in the future of #AbortionRights in #Ohio. But it also raises questions about the #power of ordinary #citizens over elected #politicians.

The results could have far-reaching consequences for an issue on the #ballot in Nov: whether to establish a #right to #abortion.

I've reread books before, but never listened to the audio of a book that I'd previous read. But I did with #JonAlexander's #Citizens - a book that comes closest to describing the way I see the world, and the opportunity it presents.

If you're here because you like the ethos of #Mastodon, I can't recommend this book highly enough.
