Reuters: House Dems UNANIMOUSLY elect Hakeem Jeffries as first Black party leader
Hakeem Jeffries was unanimously elected on Wednesday to become the Democratic Party's top leader in the U.S. House of Representatives beginning in January, making him the first Black American to hold such a high-ranking position in Congress.
Protecting and maintaining our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power depends on enforcing the rule of law. Every step towards accountability helps.
Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:
1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours
Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)
How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?
On a phone, or other touch screen device?
OR
On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?
(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)
Thanks to the work of people like @marcelias we can go early to vote for Warnock in the GA Senate runoff tomorrow.
We're registered voters and this is a day/time that works for our schedules & it's right that every reasonable accommodation be made to allow as many people to vote as possible
The people opposing the franchise are in the wrong, and always will be
Thanks to our lawsuit, these 2⃣7⃣ Georgia counties will have early voting tomorrow: Baker Baldwin Bartow Bibb Burke Chatham Clarke Cobb Crawford DeKalb Douglas Fulton Gilmer Gwinnett Hancock Henry Macon Mitchell Muscogee Newton Randolph Rockdale Screven Terrell Troup Walton Ware https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgia-runoff-nov-26-early-voting-challenge/
