As a disabled NJ voter, I have thoughts. One of my concerns is what would we be require to do and how would this work.

I'm not proving disability. I'm not performing it. Everyone can fuck right off with that. I don't want to be placed on a registry, not in this time or place. So how would this work?

I like it, I think it could be helpful and make voting easier. But I also see so many ways it could make it harder.

The bill itself includes language that the Secretary of State should "develop rules and regulations necessary to implement the policy." So right away I'm against anything this vague and will say the same to my electeds.

Do you have thoughts on this as a disabled or blind voter? What do you see as barriers? How would you like this to work if it were law?

ICE kidnapped people from Jersey City and Hoboken this weekend. We don't want you here. We won't accept you here. Get out.

As my neighbors have been saying in videos:
Leave my neighbor alone;
Shame on you.

The first by City Councilperson Jake Ephros confronting an agent.
The second a group of neighbors in the Heights neighborhood of JC.

[“Our police officers will not assist federal immigration enforcement without a valid judicial warrant,” [Mayor] Solomon said the statement. “No city-owned property will be used as a staging ground for raids. That’s the law in Jersey City. More than 40 percent of Jersey City residents were born in another country. You should not be not a target—you are our neighbors. You built this city. You belong here.”]

Jack Ciatarelli wants to put a 10% tax on food and harm New Jerseyians. Mike Sherrill won't do that. #NJPoli

Barack Obama Endorses Mike Sherrill for NJ Governor

Ciatarelli can't win on a 10% tax on food so he and the current regime doxxed Mikie Sherrill. #NJPoli

I'm going to let Deonna Purrazzo, The Virtuosa and a Jersey Girl, speak for us all:

NJ Governor is up for election this year and I hate it. I hate it so much. I am inundated with political ads and Jack Ciatarelli is a wannabe Nazi who said he's going to put a 10% sales tax on food. What kind of monster does that? I am completely appalled that anyone has said that or approved of it. With prices as they are right now in NJ that tax means people will go hungrier than they already are.

Jack also asked what Trump and the federal government have to do with the price of energy in New Jersey. This, you fucking asshole:

PBS: Trump administration cancels $679 million in funding for offshore wind projects

His Democrat oponent Mikie Sherrill is a cop, so hopefully that wins her the election. We can have some human rights and social supports, but not too many. Don't mistake me, I'm voting for Mikie.

This week in Congress some Republican assholes tried to censure my Rep LaMonica McIver and remove her from the House Committee on Homeland Security. They failed like the losers falsifying a case against her that they are.

Regarding the ICE arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Baraka's current location.

I am near Newark. Local press and organizations are reporting that Baraka was taken inside Delaney Hall in Newark and has not left. People have been gathering there all afternoon to demand Baraka's release.

I say this because people are reporting he is in an undisclosed location and/or missing, and he is not. We know where he is.

The false report came from Alina Habba on FOX News where she was asked where Baraka is and replied "I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

I will attach links to NJ reporting on this topic and also a video from Make the Road NJ who are protesting outside where he is being held right now.

Yesterday I streamed the state assembly meeting and when I tuned in I stg someone was yelling about eggs.

These people are not serious at all. Eggs cost the earth because of bird flu. When you have to cull all the birds then they're dead and can't lay eggs.

Pass the New Jersey Immigrant Trust Act (S3672/A4987)

[S3672/A4987 will limit New Jersey’s involvement in the federal detention and deportation system by creating new data privacy protections for people who interact with state and local agencies, and by strengthening and codifying the separation between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement.]

Summary: https://www.aclu-nj.org/en/legislation/new-jersey-immigrant-trust-act-s3672a4987

S3672: https://legiscan.com/NJ/bill/S3672/2024
A4987: https://legiscan.com/NJ/bill/A4987/2024

This one was easy-peasy for me as my State Senator is a sponsor of that bill and one of my two assemblypersons is a sponsor of the other. So that's two thank you notes right there, and one nudge to pass this to the Dem non-sponsor.
