Good news from Michigan

Fierce Planet Posted on September 8, 2022 by jnfrSeptember 8, 2022

In an earlier post I pointed out that Michigan’s state legislature had intervened against the will of the electorate and refused to allow abortion rights to be enshrined in the state. Today the Lege was overruled by the state Supreme Court and the measure will be on the ballot after all. BREAKING: Michigan Supreme Court in a 5-2 decision ordered the Reproductive Freedom For All measure placed on the ballot after the Board of State Canvassers deadlocked. This measure will enshrine abortion rights into the state’s Constitution (irrevocable by SCOTUS OR Congress). — Andrew Wortman 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 (@AmoneyResists) September 8, 2022 … Continue reading →

So far, so okay

Fierce Planet Posted on November 11, 2020 by jnfrNovember 11, 2020

The election of Biden and Harris was a relief, but I didn’t feel jubilant as many did. I was exhausted of course, from four years of bullshit, and worn out by days of waiting for the election to be called. But more than that I did not trust the situation. I felt sure that Trump would try to beat his way out of this somehow, even though it seems unlikely he can. I was right. So here we are, happy to have won the election, but also watching Trump thrash about and refuse to acknowledge reality. His enablers in Congress … Continue reading →

If you run into armed groups at the polls…

Fierce Planet Posted on October 6, 2020 by jnfrOctober 6, 2020

Georgetown Law has a division called the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, and they have put together information for all 50 states concerning unauthorized militias. Since Trump has threatened the election and the country by calling out armed vigilantes, it’s possible you could run into some of these people when you vote in-person. Addressing the rise of unlawful private paramilitaries ICAP has created fact sheets for all 50 states explaining the laws barring unauthorized private militia groups and what to do if groups of armed individuals are near a polling place or voter registration drive. Select a state from … Continue reading →

Plan Your Vote

Fierce Planet Posted on September 14, 2020 by jnfrSeptember 14, 2020

Listen to Stacey Abrams: As I write this, there are barely 50 days until Nov. 3. Now is the time to figure out how to vote in your state, and what your best and easiest voting options are. It’s time to make your plan to vote. First, register if you haven’t yet! And even if you believe you’re registered, check to see that you still are. Many states have been purging voters through questionable means and that could be you. Then check your state regulations to see if you can vote by mail or otherwise vote early. You may need … Continue reading →
