Elections are run locally. You can get involved.

voter suppression. non proportional representation.

the pitifully low voter turnout is a systemic issue.

The UN was formed after WWII and it was a scheme by the allies to cement their power going forward. All permanent security council members with veto power were the winning side of WWII.

The UN basically has no powers against the wishes of any member with a veto.

They let him host the Olympics, so yeah probably.

Also the US has veto power at the UN. So nothing can be done unless the US approves. Since the US enthusiastically supports genocide, nothing can be done.

Open puts on the company you’re about to officially insult to profit on the way down too.

I’m more impressed by the number of unions.

And now Vegas is suffering from the actions of outside groups. A truly independent Vegas is the only good ending.

This article gives no information about the status of this bill, or even the number for the bill so you can look it up yourself.

Covering bills like this at the point of introduction is pure fearmongering. Anyone in the legislature can introduce a bill. Most bills go nowhere. Unless it leaves committee or gets co-sponsors, it’s not really being considered at all.

If something happens with this make sure to pay attention. But covering this at this point is just trying to make you afraid to get a click.

Nearly all studies cited by right wingers are really old and debunked. They cherry pick to the one thing they can find that supports their views.

It’s also a myth that appears in trans communities on occasion. The right wing misogynist to trans-girl pipeline is alive and well.

Soy is not feminizing. Plant estrogens are not mammal estrogen. You have to actually take estrogen. It’s really inconvenient.

The rural parts, and most of eastern Washington are very Ohio. The difference in bigotry and political leaning is urban vs rural.

I think its misguided to tell someone they have to move to another state. That’s a really big commitment. You can find accepting places much closer by moving to a nearby big city. That is far more achievable than moving to another state.

They fly pride flags in downtown Boise. The color of the state only changes the state level laws, not the local culture.

agreed, but at this stage expecting more than a statement is unreasonable. no organization could be in full go mode this early.

their actions to come will be telling.

so far the news is only that the executive branch is pursuing this, and this news is only a few days old. This is their first response to the matter.

No organization can move quickly enough to already be doing the things you suggest at this point. This is the make a statement of intent phase, which they have done.

Give it time, nothing happens immediately.

That’s the old washington. We’ve had plenty of updates and fixed many of the issues for the new one. Good way to remember it is that the nation’s capital is called Washington DC. DC is an Italian abbreviation for Da Capo which means from the beginning.

Probably make us territories to start with full province status later. Joining Canada as provinces would be much more like Canada becoming the outer Pacific states. California alone has nearly the same population as the entirety of Canada.

Good first step. We can and should do more.

Yes, that is what that line means. Washington has very similar language in their constitution and it blocks a lot of shenanigans.
