Interview: "The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has since January been obsessed with this race."

"The pivotal race on Tuesday will shape the majority of the state’s top court & have a far-reaching impact on issues like abortion & voting rights."

"A liberal victory would be widely interpreted as a rebuke of the Republican agenda."

~Wisconsinite John Nichols, The Nation

#MarcElias slays #Musk: "I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my English name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan (אֶלְחָנָן) — after the great warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring."

#VotingRights

We recently finished the series #DerryGirls, and my hubby found a podcast from Telegraph which tells the awful truth of why #IrishCatholics were so pissed off at #Protestants in #NorthernIreland. Housing and employment #discrimination, harrassment, lack of #VotingRights, etc. Did you know that only if you owned property you could vote, and business owners could vote twice! And guess who owned most of the property and businesses! No wonder there was rebellion!

Are you a #woman? Do you marry someone and change your #name? Republicans would like you to know that they don’t think you should be able to vote. If the #SAVE act passes, your driver’s license or REAL ID, isn’t good enough if your name doesn’t match your birth certificate. There are no provisions to allow for legal name changes for any reason, probably to punish trans people. But it means that up to 30% of American women will lose the right to vote with no recourse but legally changing their name back to their birth certificate name. ( Having once changed my name after a divorce, I can tell you that it is an absolute nightmare of bureaucracy. I’m not looking forward to the expense and hassle again.)

The gop hate women, they have always hated women, and why women continue to associate with them has baffled me for many decades.
