Members JaneAusten Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have a lot of respect for Ari Berman. He's basically the only one who covered a lot of the voter suppression tactics (new voter ID laws) that went into effect after the Supreme Court overturned major parts of the VRA. Good article on how Texas's law has disenfranchised many and why picture ID's are not feasible for many(see the example noted in this story). Being able to vote should not cost one person a penny. And the DOJ not a surprise will no longer support the effort in this particular case. https://www.thenation.com/article/trumps-justice-department-is-no-longer-opposing-texas-discriminatory-voter-id-law/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) And just who didn't see this coming http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ag-sessions-says-trump-administration-pull-back-police-department-civil-n726826 Here's a summation http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/new-trump-orders-waters-rule-black-colleges/ar-AAnDN0n?ocid=spartanntp Betsy DeVos is clearly the most clueless woman I have ever heard. So now Black Colleges are a great example of school choice? I just can't with this ignorant woman.

Members Juliajms Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 That's pretty sad. I lived so close to Plant City when I lived in Florida. I used to love buying flats of strawberries from roadside markets. Its just sad to think of all those parents and children living in fear. I see Trump is going to propose some kind of immigration compromise, so we'll see how horrible it is. I guess it can't be worse than mass round ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 You may not love that voice but the Trumpettes are singing back up to his "I am not a racist because I've done more to help HBCUs with this one stroke of a pen than Obama." It's too bad that all those people who crammed into the Oval Office with him yesterday for that photo of Kellyanne taking selfies, didn't ask him to re-label his "urban agenda" along with shuffling initiatives. I would hate to live in Trumptopia where you have to pretend that everything that existed before him was a disaster and that only he can fix it and that every time he scribbles his name on a piece of paper, he's accomplished something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 Regretful (some) Trump voters not happy that he's doing what he claimed he would do. Well other than creating jobs http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a53491/regretful-trump-voters/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 I read this article a few hours ago, but since then things have changed and we aren't deporting everyone. Try to keep up. Kidding. Seriously though, I feel like things are so unstable. He floats one idea, the press covers it, but before the ink is dry he's changed his mind. It's insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 According to Trump we were only deporting the bad dudes right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 Truly, I can't keep up. It seems like it changes constantly. I was just reading a NYT article about how ICE feels like the handcuffs are off and they can deport anyone they want now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponds Posted February 28, 2017 Members Share Posted February 28, 2017 I live in a state where we are entirely vote by mail. It has worked extremely well for years and we have larger turnouts than before. I don't understand why other states don't do this and stop all of the voter ID crap. We also can register to vote when you go to the DMV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted March 1, 2017 Members Share Posted March 1, 2017 They don't want to make it easy. See what's happening in Montana for evidence on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted March 1, 2017 Members Share Posted March 1, 2017 Oh I know. But if they want to fall for the scam and be what the Trumpettes point to when they say "see, he helped those blacks go to college" that is that. I don't get how people can put so much faith in that man but people want to believe what they want to believe. I hope they at least got a free trip out of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
