A couple years ago, the Florida state government rolled back a measure that would have given many formerly incarcerated Floridians their right to vote. Now, they can only cast a ballot if they pay off their incarceration debt. It's essentially a poll tax. https://t.co/nLFOhrhtEz

“This court’s order prevents thousands of otherwise eligible voters from participating in Florida’s primary election simply because they are poor,” Justice Sotomayor explained in her dissent. The court’s “inaction continues a trend of condoning disenfranchisement.” (Florida has an estimated 774,000 disenfranchised felons in the state.)
For now, the voters’ will in approving Amendment 4 has been negated by Florida’s GOP-dominated legislature. Unless SCOTUS intervenes, the re-enfranchisement victory that already created a class based upon offenses has another class: the poor who have little hope of paying off their LFOs. See: Jones v.

Tom Nichols, author “Our Own Worst Enemy”:
“What’s really happening here is that Trump and Bannon and the rest of them,
they`re not just thumbing their nose at the rule of law, they’re trying to make the point that Congress is not really
a branch of government, e.g. ‘The Article I power of the Constitution does’t really exist unless you happen to like it.’
….McCarthy isn’t really talking to the American people or to other members of Congress. He is talking to a very narrow slice of the Republican base of whom he is deeply afraid of crossing, including Donald Trump. And it’s a tragedy, because that continues the attack on our constitutional system of government.”
Joy Reid:
“What’s bizarre about it, you’re having members of Congress essentially argue that their own branch of government has no power. That their own branch of government does not have the right to issue and enforce a subpoena. And then you have someone like Kevin McCarthy who then wants to take control of a branch of that very government that he is attempting to strip of its power.”
Nichols:
“But it makes perfect sense if you think like the cheap and corroded authoritarians that people like McCarthy have become. Which is that: ‘Congress doesn’t matter and is unimportant unless WE control it, unless the party I like controls it. Then it should become all powerful and be able to do anything at once. If someone else controls it, you may ignore it at your leisure’. And that’s the way authoritarians think. ’Institutions only matter if they happen to be in your grip…they only matter if you’re in charge of them.’”
“I think they have wrong-footed the Democrats here who have internalized the Republican critique of them that ‘You have to be civil. You have to take us seriously. You can’t accuse of us bad faith, even when we’re obviously acting in bad faith’. I think the answer here is not to sink to Mitch McConnell’s level but to be sober and judicious and clear-eyed and as cold-blooded as Mitch McConnell is being. To say McConnell would overthrow the filibuster if it were in his interest. We need to think that way ourselves.”

She’s Making History in Opera. Can She Help Ensure Its Future?
Eun Sun Kim is the first woman to serve as music director of one of America’s largest opera companies. She aims to broaden the art form’s appeal in the digital age.
“But Kim, who turns 41 on Saturday, is uneasy about the attention. She recalled the example of her grandmother, a pioneering obstetrician in South Korea who longed for the day when she would be called simply a doctor, rather than a female doctor.
“It’s a hard job, it’s a big job, whether you’re a woman or a man,” she said. “I want to be seen just as a conductor.”
“The challenges are formidable. Kim is working to help San Francisco Opera recover from the turmoil of the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in the cancellation of 57 performances and the loss of more than $20 million in anticipated ticket revenue. While live performances are back, it is unclear if audiences will return in force.”

“My great-grandmother, Mary, was a Walla Walla and Cayuse tribal member and the daughter of Chief Peo Peo Mox Mox, headman of the Walla Walla people,” Sams told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in his opening statement on October 19, 2021.
“My personal history is deeply interwoven with the fabric of our shared American history,” said Sams, who was accompanied to the hearing in Washington, D.C,. by his wife and their oldest child.
The hearing is the first step in the confirmation process for Sams. The next step would be for the committee to hold a business meeting and vote on his nomination. From there, he would go to the full U.S. Senate.
If confirmed by the chamber, Sams would be the first Native person to serve as director of the National Park Service, which is part of the Department of the Interior, the federal agency with the most trust and treaty responsibilities in Indian Country.

It's easy to brush off President Biden's meeting with Pope Francis, but the reassurance that someone can support a woman's right to choose, and remain a Catholic in good standing, is important to millions of Catholics in America and around the world.
By the end of 2021, Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress will have:
– cut childhood poverty in half – passed biggest ever investment in infrastructure – passed biggest ever investment in clean energy – guaranteed universal preK in America
– dramatically cut the cost of child care – required every corporation to pay their fair share of taxes – increased taxes of billionaires and millionaires – funded the construction of a 1 million new affordable apartments and homes
– set in motion the modernization of the electric grid – reduced health insurance premiums for 9 million – cut the number of uninsured by 4 million – create the largest ever investment in community anti-gun violence programs
Morning everyone:) Got my COVID booster on Thursday afternoon….it absolutely kicked my butt. was in bed for 36 hours straight. Fever, chills, aches and pains…got out of bed just this morning. Still have a slight fever but it WAS 102.3….that said, I’d do it all over again to be protected. It’s better than dying or being on a vent.
Glad to hear you got your booster and all is well. I had this reaction to my second shot, too. I knew what was in store for me! Would do it again to be protected
Got my Pfizer booster over a week ago. Only had minor soreness the next day, with no other symptoms. I ddn’t even feel the needle when she gave me the shot. I will also do it all over marleysperson because I want to be protected and to protect others.
Agree about the side effects being worth it. As sick as I was with my breakthrough case of Covid, I cannot imagine having it and being unvaxxed. The vaccine did fully protect my lungs for which I was and am eternally grateful. I was scheduled to have my booster in mid November (90 days after having Regeneron). Now, it will be February. I have to wait 90 days after my knee surgery which is Tuesday.

Eleventh Circuit Reinstates Pay-To-Vote for Florida Felons Who Completed Sentences

The court’s “inaction continues a trend of condoning disenfranchisement.” (Florida has an estimated 774,000 disenfranchised felons in the state.)
For now, the voters’ will in approving Amendment 4 has been negated by Florida’s GOP-dominated legislature. Unless SCOTUS intervenes, the re-enfranchisement victory that already created a class based upon offenses has another class: the poor who have little hope of paying off their LFOs. See: Jones v.
