Register: turbovote.org
Check your registration: headcount.org/verify-voter-registration/
More info: usa.gov/voting

Or cut out the middleman and go to the official website of the NASS (the people who actually run US elections): https://www.nass.org/can-i-vote/voter-registration . By all means check the independent websites above if you like, but the buck stops with your state’s Secretary of State.

This is your monthly reminder that the Supreme Court has cleared states to purge voter rolls of infrequent voters, an act that disproportionately affects communities of color and other marginalized groups. Please check your voter registration again, even if you have already done so, even if you think you’re fine. Check that you’re registered, and that your information is correct, to make sure you’ll be able to vote in November! You frequently have to register significantly in advance of the election in question.

(By the way: under 18? If you are, but you’ll be 18 on or before Election Day, you can pre-register to vote in a lot of states! That way you’ll be all set up and ready to go when November rolls around, and you don’t have to worry about missing deadlines.)

It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean

If you are talking about dolphins they used to be wolf like creatures that due to scarcity of food they had to hunt in water so they slowly evolved into water mammals, dolphins still have claw bones but they are unnecessary and dolphins will get rid of them with time and will develop abilities to breath under water

(This also partially applies to whales)

They were what now?

Why People With Disabilities Want Bans On Plastic Straws To Be More Flexible

On social media, many people are ecstatic about the crush of cities and businesses pledging to ban plastic straws once and for all.

But for many people with disabilities, going without plastic straws isn’t a question of how much they care about dolphins or sea turtles; it can be a matter of life or death.

a lot of people are talking about how it’s pointless to boycott Amazon during the strike bc Amazon has so many subsidiaries that it seems impossible to avoid them all for a week.

but the strike is about warehouse workers for Amazon.com specifically.

if you can avoid whole foods and audible etc. during the strike, go for it!! but the really essential piece is that you do not purchase anything from Amazon.com for the duration of the strike. it’s okay to be specific here.

it is better to do something than nothing, and in this case, no one is even expecting a boycott of all the subsidiaries – the part that will be most traceable to the strike will be the drop in purchases from Amazon.com anyway.

Do not visit Amazon.com until 17 July 2018 or until the strike ends, whichever happens last.

thatdiabolicalfeminist:

not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is literally an essential part of a strike.

Amazon brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. Even a one-day boycott could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially if the boycott coincided with one of the most profitable days Amazon expected to have all year, as this one does.

Do not visit Amazon.com on 10 July 2018 (or July 15-16 in the US)!
