Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 shocked Europe into taking a long hard look at its defences. Conscription is seeing a revival across Europe.

Does compulsory military service mean sending poorly trained, disgruntled young people into battle, or can it encourage civic duty and keep Europe safe?

@realTuckFrumper They should stay home. They are disinformed and misinformed and should not be voting until they educate themselves. #CivicDuty

Quite right. 👏

The mayor of my borough just swung by to swear me in as vacancy board chair for the borough since I can't attend the next council meeting--which sounds really fancy until you realize I live in a tiny borough, and the mayor gets paid like $500 per year for mayoring.

The juror selection room sure has all the makings of a #SuperspreaderEvent that may cause me a work hardship - for the rest of...my life? Turns out doing your #civicduty means putting your life at risk. I literally have 2 inches between the guys sitting beside me. I chose this chair because one of them is the only other person here wearing a mask. The other guy is reading the #Buybull. Could be fun! "Your honor, I believe in a vindictive magical sky wizard, may I be excused?"

Gotta say, this is the most C-SPAN I've watched in a long time #civicduty #uspol

Sacramento superior court is just messing with me at this point. I'm sure of it. There's no way they are still seating jurors this week. Nonetheless, I am obliged to call again tomorrow night. Sigh. #CivicDuty #JuryDuty

I’m off to the post office for more stamps and to get this last batch out! I’ve written 50 letters to Georgia voters encouraging them to vote in the US Senate runoff election December 6. It’s important to participate civically however we can.

Day spent getting wet this morning whilst doing Town Council duty looking at bin locations, highlighting blocked drains, mostly because of fallen leaves not yet cleared; washing just brought in not yet dry. What an exciting life, not! How has your day been? #Civicduty

I am happily spending my weekend helping cure NV ballots! #democracy #nevada #CivicDuty

Did my #civicduty and #voted. The GOP alienated this Independent voter when they declared war on women’s bodies. #voteblue22

Done!

Just finished my stint as juror #11 on a murder trial. Now off to vote. #CivicDuty

#47 out of 315 in my tiny township in Midwest IL. #civicduty #voted #democracy

It's #midterm #election day in the U.S. If you haven't already cast your #vote, please don't miss your chance! #ElectionDay #Vote2020 #Democracy #CivicDuty #YourVoteCounts

VOTED! Have you turned in your ballot yet? Early voting numbers look more promising than the polls let on and it’s going to be incredibly close.

There are valid reasons to feel apathetic and cynical but we can’t afford to cede any more ground to fascism. Please vote and contact your friends and family to make sure they do too. #vote #midterms #voteblue #democracyifwecankeepit #civicduty
