They just keep making alligators. Sorry for the paucity of posts as our democracy circles the drain.
"A vast majority — 70 percent — of Americans in a new poll supports 'Medicare for all,' also known as a single-payer health-care system." (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)
"A Klansman caught on video firing a gun in the middle of the 2017 white nationalist 'Unite The Right' rally in Charlottesville has been sentenced to four years in prison by a judge in Virginia." (Grokked from Vincent O'Conner)
From November 4 of 2016: "The Leadership Conference for Civil Rights surveyed 381 of the 800 counties previously covered by Section 5 (of the Voting Rights Act) where polling place information was available in 2012 or 2014 and found there are 868 fewer places to cast a ballot in 2016 in these areas." Since 2016, they've been closing polling places in majority minority districts at a record pace. The latest is getting polling places closed because of violations of the Americas with Disabilities Act. Note that almost all polling places are government buildings (churches make up the next largest group). Are the attorneys general forcing these buildings to comply with the nearly 3 decade old law? Of course not. They're just closing the polling stations. (Grokked from Chuck Wendig)
