34·4 days agoIf they were just doing that and not contributing to the overall degradation of society, it would be fine.
Unfortunately the decriminalization increased problems across the board to fuel the drug habit.
Car theft, for example, had a dramatic increase, now with 110 reverted, we’re seeing those numbers go back down.
110 was a DISASTER and resulted in open air drug markets acting with impunity.
The PLAN was to make drug possession a $100 ticket and then waive it if they called a 1-800 number to ask about assistance.
NOTE: You didn’t have to actually GET assistance, all you had to do was call the number.
Out of 16,000 people ticketed under the program, less than 140 called the number.
Proponents of the measure argue that funding for assistance wasn’t effective, which is also absolutely true, but it doesn’t change the fact that 99+% of people ticketed never SOUGHT assistance.
Down 3,163.27 since inauguration.
He also said Musk wasn’t in charge…

Google says… 4/20.
I’m not gonna kink shame, but if Scream masks are your thing, maybe talk to your husband first?
No, it isn’t. You fill out and sign the card ONE TIME. You do not need to re-do it unless something changes.
"Does My Voter Registration Expire?
Your voter registration does not expire unless you move or change your name."
Now, it might be a good idea to update it every now and then because your signature does change over time, but that only becomes a problem if your ballot actually gets rejected and you have to cure it with a fresh signature.
Tell me you’ve never registered to vote without telling me you’ve never registered to vote.
I’ve been voting since 1987 and that’s EXACTLY how it works.
You register ONCE. Unless something changes, you do not have to re-register.
I don’t think whoever did that knows the first thing about Robin Hood…
No, they don’t, that’s not the way it works.
Once you are registered, you are registered, you only have to re-register if you change your address.
If you change your address, you also have to update your drivers license and… ding… it updates your registration.
The problem presented is Republicans being dicks by requiring citizenship to vote.
We already solve that problem by:
- Requiring citizenship for drivers licenses.
- Registering people to vote when they get a drivers license.
- Then mailing ballots to all registered voters.
This increases voter registration (which Republicans don’t want) an increases voter participation (which Republicans DEFINITELY don’t want.)
Oregon had already been doing #3 since 2000, they added #1 and #2 in 2016.
Voter registration surged to 94%.
Voter participation jumped to 80%.This is malicious compliance with what the Republicans are asking for.
No, once you’re registered, you need do nothing else unless your address changes. Just like with a normal voter registration.
“In 2000, the immigration court found no legal reason that would allow Gladys and Nelson to stay in the United States and they were issued a voluntary departure order, which gives people a certain amount of time to leave the country at their own expense to avoid a deportation order, according to ICE.”
Who was President in 2000? 🤔
Proof of citizenship is part of the drivers license process now.
The way it works here is you register when getting a drivers license, then if you move or something, when you update your DL information, you update your voter registration.
Same thing for DL renewals and such.
Must not be the “We ID under 40” states.
Here, you can’t turn around without ID.
I mean, a manifesto is a statement of intent. Is a suicide note not a suicide note if it’s not public?
The hypothetical is “ZOMG thousands of people are being prevented from voting over this!”
No, they aren’t. There’s no evidence that thousands of people are so disengaged from society that they don’t have legal ID, all the things they need legal ID for, and yet somehow still want to vote.
There’s ANECDOTAL evidence, one person here, another person there, a 98 year old lady who really wants to vote but gosh darn it her birth certificate burned up in a fire in 1946, but no evidence there is mass disenfranchisement.
The numbers claiming “millions” are based on statistics, not actual reality, and when you have to have basic ID to get a job, have a bank account, rent a place, etc. etc. etc. I do not buy the “millions” number and I do not buy that they are that detached from society and still have a desire to vote.
Again, I really, sincerely doubt that and have seen no actual evidence to the contrary. Hypotheticals and mathematical models, but no actual evidence people are disenfrachised in this way.
We do have evidence that they are disenfrachised in OTHER ways, limiting polling locations, polling hours, blocking people from supporting voters in long lines with water, etc etc etc. All of which can be addressed with 100% vote by mail.
Seems likely, either that or just obsessed with Johansen… or both…
